Why?

This is going to be very nit picky from me but why do high server leadership feel the need to give themselves the highest rank possible that they want. I understand you run the server and can do what you want but it always gives me a bad feeling when I join a server and see the Owners and Managers such as the 2 Founders and Server Manager all be the ranks like Director and General I don't see the point of doing this when surely them ranks are there for normal users to reach.

I can understand using the rank for an event character for example but holding the rank of Director and General as an all time thing, no offence feels like a big ego move as you want to be the highest rank just cause you can. As when I see people in these high ranks it almost makes it impossible for the normal user to reach them as god knows how long they need to play to be able to replace one of the Founders or Server Managers in a position like this.

You can either read this as just a general conversation or me being rude I dont really care I just see so many SWRP servers die, which I am not saying this is the reason for them dying but it certainly doesnt help with it all when having the owners be in the highest IC position.
 
Hi Stodgems,

On Dauntless the Director General position, which came into existence in 2022, is not an obtainable title and only used by myself and Blake to provide an IC position of authority where we do not block any player slots and can still act on things that need correction for example, leading regiments when no officers are present, holding termly votes or voncs etc. The Director General position is not a role responsible for the day-to-day IC operations. With that being said i'm unable to understand the perspective of it being an ‘ego move’.

Regarding Dans position he was appointed to the Brigadier General spot prior to his recruitment as Management by an individual who holds no staff position. General Team ranks are voted on in terms as well! It’s entirely up to the regimental command players whether or not Dan remains in his position for a prolonged time.

I appreciate your concern, if there’s anything else that doesn't make sense to you or you have any other questions please feel free to approach me in any format.
