My FC officer mates and I discovered a bit of an odd thing. We have a hierarchy system of Guild Master (highest rank), General, Officer, LT, Member etc. We discovered that allowing a rank to promote/demote meant that they could promote themselves all the way up to the highest rank right below the Guild Master.

I cannot believe this is even a thing. What is the point of hierarchy ranks if they can move themselves up??

Please remove the option for ranks to promote themselves upwards. I can only imagine what kind of chaos that could happen if someone was being vindictive and abused that privilege.
(and for anyone that didn't realize this I highly suggest you go change the settings in your FC rankings)
