I didn't think anything of it when we created the extra ranks. I have an alt character on another server who's FC has specialty ranks for crafting/gathering, and other random things.

But I digress, the point of this thread isn't about our failures... it's about fixing this so it doesn't happen to others. There are several people who responded to this thread that didn't know about this.

My FC Also uses special titles as ranks for those I truly trust which has individual rights depending on how much I trust them. While I am sure none of them would screw me over my FC is also going through a merge with a FC that splintered off from us around launch and occasionally one of them gets promoted temporarily to a specialized rank to invite the mass of people coming in. I have it set up to prevent this kind of thing from happening but only because I was online when it happened and was notified by their FC leader as soon as he found out.
