SE, Please fix this FC exploit

[Rowyne]

It is difficult to create a system that is both flexible for users and that can safeguard against any number of situations. Limiting the use of the ability to promote could have negative implications for users that are using the feature legitimately (for example, if a leader has left, and a new one needs to be appointed), so we have to be mindful of that before making changes.

However, even with that said, we understand the request for adjustments and the team will be looking carefully into how best to move forward.

Now there is auto-promote if a leader doesn't log in for a certain amount of time, so there will never be a situation where a FC is leader-less.

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.
