Staff = line filled

I just add people to the staff=line and then do the following to organize staff and distribute in game rights so i can control both staff that needs RC and ones that do not all from the server options

staff=Cubical,etc
dungeonmaster=Cubical, etc ->highest level rights
gamemaster=randomaccounthere,blah,blah ->second highest
playerrelations=randomaccounthere,blah,blah, -> whatever else
guest=Stefan,etc -> any guest accounts that need basic rights

Then on login I check to see if the account is in the server options and set clientr.isStaff=true and then check to what type of rights to give the player and loop through all the lower rights until i get to the top level of what the player has and add any other flags, wnpcs or classes that the player needs for whatever they are in the serveroptions. Whenever a weapon is added in the staff weapon list after login or the server options is updated it checks and reapplies accordingly.

Anyways just sharing my way of organization

Glad to see this thread sparked some other discussion too

@dylan, i have never rented a server on this account i dont know any of the account names listed under that staff list. My feeling is that it is a left over staff line from the previous owner of the server before it got shut down then reassigned to me. Could this be it?

Yes, this could be very possible. I believe gservers are wiped before being reassigned, but possibly not. Maybe it was even just a random bug you've stumbled upon.

Check other folders (including the accounts folder) and check if this is the case.

I already do something similar to this and it's a great way to organize your staff, but when you're preparing to add somebody or remove somebody, you're going to have to filter through a giant one-line list of staff that could potentially be 20-30 accounts long (which is the case on Delteria).

I believe servers are recycled and sometimes old server content remains on your newly rented server from when it was removed from its previous owner. I think others on the forums have had issues like this before.

Maybe it's just me but 30 people in your staff= account means it probably just needs to be cleaned out seeing as for most servers thats more than their player base and for the two top classic servers is a little under half.

Possibly, but that's not the issue here haha. I'm just saying it'd be nice (especially for larger servers with larger staff teams) to have this feature.
