No, but they are responsible for making sure that what is on their server is not stolen or otherwise illegal and will be held responsible if they allow that sort of thing to happen. However, a rogue staff member stealing GFX or otherwise uploading illegal things without the manager knowing will not get the manager in trouble.

I agree with you here. I'm don't think that the rules should dictate how the server's staff team is organized.

Again, I agree with the idea of a PR staff member acting as an FAQ/Uploader/GP, but the rule is to prevent certain servers from always having five people on RC at a time whose job is to merely upload heads/bodies/shields.

I agree, this needs to be fixed.

Sure, but a lot of servers need rules that aren't in the normal Graal rules. For example, I'm sure that with Vesporia's unique gameplay, there will need to be rules especially for Vesporia.

A welcome screen for players that displays news, rules, etc. A PM from the NPC-Server upon login. An NPC that when grabbed links/displays rules. Something is needed so that a player can't say "Oh, I didn't know it wasn't a rule" and at the same time a staff member can't say "Oh, that's against the rules" with no basis.

If someone isn't important enough to the server to have RC, they don't need to warp. Like Skyld said, perhaps being able to warp to certain locations such as events.
I agree.

I agree...the rule should really be something like "No staff tools should exist for the sole purpose of abuse. (ie: /kill HoudiniMan)"

It's not very hard to make a very simple jail. There is a server option jaillevels= that can be used for individuals who "suck at scripting". Additionally, GPs can even follow a warning system where three warnings = ban instead of first offense = ban.

Seeing that a player has been banned for "Cheating" is often not enough when we have to go and look in to a ban complaint that we get on the support center. Its much easier for us to know what's going on and provide faster support for people when the comments have details on the incident. This way we don't have to look through logs or wait for a staff member to log on.

Good to see that you understand.
