When did this happen?
And where is it written?

If I were a Manager, and a GST came on telling me stuff that was to be dealt with, with a pwa member, I would not just take their word that "they are allowed to do the pwa's job"...what then? I would get punished?
Not to mention all that wasted time arguing with globals needlessly.

It is also kind of unfair that GST have the rights to do pwa stuff, but the pwa themselves do not? That is confusing.

I do believe that both you and ProjectShifter are guilty of the grave error of confusing individual members of the Global Scripting Team with the team as a whole. Each member of the GST is an individual in their own right - we each have our own set of rights and responsibilities. Here is my take on it, and a higher-up can correct me if I am mistaken: some of us are considered more along the lines of "Global Administrators" and as such permitted to assist in solving problems at playerworlds. For example, I sought such authorization long before most of our current PWA members even had that job. Angel and I would often deal with many of the problems that would occur on various servers, and we were quite effective at solving them. She often complimented me for my insight in discerning both the nature of the problem at hand and the most effective solution. Sadly, she is no longer with Graal, and these days I deal with such problems in cooperation with our PWA members, Stefan, unixmad, or, often, alone. You will note that there are few (if any) complaints about the manner in which I have handled such situations. I digress, but it's for the sake of an example / explanation.

Anyway, I'd just like to note that we are all global staff members and our goal is the same: the betterment of Graal. The members of the GST who can help out with such problems should do so when required. This is not to say that they are allowed to step on the toes of the PWA, but that they should be working together towards finding a solution. If there is a disagreement between global staff members, it is quite probably an important issue that requires further discussion before it can be resolved, and such discussion can only benefit Graal by resulting in the best possible solution to whatever problem it may be. I don't like seeing "I'm higher!" "No, it's my job!" arguments - any debate that exists should be about whatever problem we may be faced with, not about relative rank. Wouldn't you agree?
