thanks! i will try it out.
one of the downsides of the internet in general, and interactions with other people, is that there are no physical consequences to being a jackass.
of all the time's i've been a server admin or higher on graal in the past 5 years or more, of the 50 to 75 people that have been my staff, and of those who i thought i could trust with rw levels/* rights, about 25% of them turned out to suprise me by deleting levels and hacking whichever server it was.
So spread out having anything from your levels deleted, to your account locked out of a server that you paid for and the hacker refusing to give it back to you, essentially the bastard stealing your money (happened last year, issue was quckly resolved) thus over a half decade and up to 18 different people shocking you by becoming traitors and theives, and you learn to hold everyones actions under a magnifying glass and be quite stingy with what rights you give people.
so now i:
1. always make backups at least once a month
2. watch out for people who ask to be co-owner whom i never even hired or heard of
3. tend to ignore people who constantly ask to be staff, have submitted their work, and its not up to par, but they still ask, and they piss and moan about not being staff
4. give propper thanks to the staff i have and watch closely if they ask for more to do at their current staff level, or how often they ask for more rights weighed against how much they have shown themselves to be dedicated to the success of the server
5. check with the people on the servers that person who this person says they worked for and see what kind of fellow this applicant is |
