Smite and dumb and maby a few other ratings were public at first but nat or a diffrent OS disabled them for normal users How can it be Admin and OS cause it looks like helper, mod and admin all have the same rank on the forums which makes it a OS only or a staff only.
Helpers and moderators have identical forum abilities while Administrators, although they look the same, have access to other forum subgroups/sections used for mainly evaluating helper applications. Also admins can read helper applications, modify locked wiki pages, edit other peoples' posts, and a few other small things. They do look the same, though.
Ah... was wondering what he said by "(rating)" but now I see... Not talking about /thor or /smite or whatever... Welp, guess it is OS only. But yes, we do have a different rank than Helpers and Mods.
Forum permissions are given on a basis of trust - not rank. Two people of the same rank can have unequal permissions, etc. Appearances can be deceiving...
