FC Ranks

[neola]

Concerning the ranking system, yes if you give a lower rank permission to edit ranks, and promote/demote members, they can edit ANY rank (except master rank) and promote/demote anyone (except FC master).
Please be very careful with any permissions that allow editing of ranks (permissions) and promoting/demoting. These need to be people you trust. Once you give someone permission to edit the ranks they can grant any other permissions to themself. Once you grant someone to promote/demote, they can promote themself to a rank with more permissions and achieve the same.

It is possible for someone to demote or remove their own permissions as well, requiring another member with permissions to "fix" this mess up.
The FC master will always have full access to any FC permission and can not be removed from that role by anyone except himself/herself by promoting someone else to the master rank.

Yes, someone you grant permission to edit ranks can grant themself permission to demolish the house and sell the property. Please be careful.

Do not give ANYONE permission to promote/demote or edit ranks to anyone except those you trust.
Officers do not need this permission if it is not necessary in your FC.
As default settings this permission is granted, but you can remove this permission so the FC master is the only one who can grant permissions or promote/demote members.

It might be more ideal that one can not promote themself or others to a rank higher than which they currently are, however, this is not currently how the system works.
This would require some complicated reprogramming, mostly because it is also possible to "reorder" the ranks too, then which is higher rank than the others now???

I think an improvement should be made to housing and FC permissions and we were told that this will be looked into later when the development team has time to do so.

This is not a bug per-say, but intended behavior.
The system works as it was designed and this would be a feature request rather than a bug report.
