I don't understand how making this change would affect you negatively. Under the present system your alts cannot promote themselves to FC Leader but you are able to set permissions so they can do everything else your main can. However, if your alts have that much power you absolutely cannot afford to let anyone else promote within your FC, because if someone promoted themselves to your alts' rank they could clean your company out.
Changing this would give you more protection and let you delegate promotions.

The official response was given before they implemented the auto-transfer of power when a FC Leader goes inactive, so basically it's out of date. Reading through the thread Please Fix This FC Exploit, it would appear that there are effectively only 2 FC ranks, leader and everyone else.
Ideally, we need a hierarchy established and nobody allowed to promote above their own rank. This would give maximum flexibility to FC leaders.
Alternatively, they could just remove the ability to promote from all other ranks and lock it to the leader (far less flexible and less ideal but absolutely better than what we have).

Considering that thread was started in 2014 and problems are still occuring three years later, I do feel something needs to be done.
