SE, Please fix this FC exploit

If you can promote above your own rank, that theoretically means you could promote your friend above you, then your friend could turn around and promote you, also. Next thing you know, everyone is promoted and has access to things they aren't meant to.

It's really time to revisit this.

There's only two ranks.
Leader and member. You can assign a sub-group of members to have promote powers who can give people up to and exceeding their own number in the list, but you can never promote someone to the leader. So saying you can promote someone above you isn't exactly true.

What would be nice to see is if the rank hierarchy would be taken into account for rank promotion/demotion and you cannot exceed past your rank, or perhaps one below. But it's been a couple years now including an expansion and nothings come of it, so I doubt we'll see anything soon.
