I feel like it'll at so much unnecessary confusion and we don't need it. I don't see how it'll fix any problems. Astrid I'm willing to discuss this with you later, but atm I'm opposed to it.

Idk if I'll be in chat later, so I'll just further explain this conecpt. Roles are blurred, I'm not saying status (which seemed to be with the whole crat issue was about). You and orbit constantly have arguments over "roles" in the community. This levels the playing field so there is equality among statuses. Counsil and Team Avatar have the same rights, except Team Avatar focused on the chaching of the pages, and CSS Coding (or anything else along those lines).

The Council makes sure any changes agree with the people  without having to put up everything for vote. It saves time, and makes sure the real problem at hand (no matter what that is at that moment) is focused on.

Generals makes sure everyone is following their roles, keeping up with their positions, and keeping the applications from filling up with Apps. They'll make sure there's a time limit on one that is WIP and they'll make sure to approve one that is ready to pass. They'll watch forums and makes sure that everything is going in the right place, and votes are being correctly counted. This way the Council and Team Avatar can continue to focus on the task at hand.

Because Generals are so busy watching everything, the Republic Police comment on critique the claims. They make sure it fits the status quo, as well as making sure the policies of chat are upheld. But, they should be aware, as well as all of the City Officials, that Generals will be the ones paying attention to their behavior as well.

The reason I changed the names, are because I don't want us stuck in this status mentality that comes with Crat, Rollback, and Chatmod. Each are important, but the wanting to be important muddles the actual purpose behind the job.

Chatmods, no one wants the job. It's responsibility can appear as unimportant on many levels. They're crossing guards atm, and I want to give them a bigger purpose than that.

The whole "Why are there Admins and Crats" thing just confused the roles. I agree they should all be equal, but the responsibility shouldn't. There are too many things to be done for someone to be saying "Well if I'm here, why don't I have the right to do it."

or "I'm busy now, you have the same rights as me, you do it."

All because they're pissy about somethings. So to sum it up: Responsibility.

And changing the name has to do with removing us from the ideals of our current ones. It's a whole new authority, to fit a whole new concept, without anyone reverting back to the old.
