Player Ranks

[unknowingtea]

Here is a description of all the player ranks.  
Visitor
All new players get the "visitor" rank.  They are able to interact with the world and have no prefix in front of their names in chat.  

Member
Once someone plays on the server for a short while and the moderators decide that he is not a bot that is programmed to repeatedly ask for admin permissions, he will be given the "member" rank.  Members are allowed to invite people to the server and moderator visitors.  They have access to the following additional commands:

• /whitelist add <username> -- add a user to the whitelist so they can play on the server
• /demote <username> -- demote a visitor, effectively banning them the server.  Note that a demoted visitor will not be kicked from the server, but he will not be able to speak or interact with the server.
• /promote <username> -- promote a banned player into the "visitor" group.  This command is useful if you demoted the wrong person, or if you had a change of heart.  

Artist
A player who displays exceptional building ability is given the title "Artist in Residence." Artists are given build permission in certain locations in the city in order to build decorations and buildings. As subjects of The Crown, artists receive no compensation for their work other than the required building materials, when necessary.

Envoy
The full title of the Envoy is "Royal Envoy and Minister of Shenanigans and Spectacles." The Envoy has several related responsibilities:

• Be the public face of Stone Kingdom, publicize the server and recruit new players to the server.
  
• Advise the admin staff on all matters related to the entertainment of Royal subjects. This includes helping to plan events and designing games and other diversions for the citizens of Stonn.
• The Envoy, in his role as Minister of Shenanigans and Spectacles, has the ability to run standard events and games.

Moderator
Moderators are responsible for ensuring that all players follow the rules, and for promoting new players to the "member" group.  Moderators also have access to the /promote and /demote commands, and they demote members as well as promote players into member status.  Moderators also have access to the following commands:

• /whitelist remove <username> -- remove a player from the whitelist
• /kick <username> -- kick a player off the server
• /ban <username> -- ban a player from the server
• /tempban <username> <time> -- temporarily ban a player from the server.  The time is something like "1d 3h 30m".  
• /unban <username> -- un-ban a player from the server

City Administrator
City administrators have all the abilities of moderators, and they can also build on land inside the city that is not rented by other players.  They can also create and manage home and shop plots, and have other abilities that can be used to help keep the city running.
