positions
17:14 ~Neski:» basically
17:15 ~Neski:» I will decide who gets to try out for a position
17:15 ~Neski:» That person will then get the position of voice or (+)
17:15 ~Neski:» next to their name
17:16 ~Neski:» I will continue to monitor them as well as other peoples
feedback to see how they are doing. Iff all is well I will rank
them up to the next tier
17:16 ~Neski:» Highest possible tier will be ProtectedOP or (&)
