If you give someone the power to edit the security roles they shouldn't be able to promote another member to full control status then that person can kick the founder. You have it set so you can't directly kick the full control user but if you give someone the power to promote people and they promote a alternate account to a full control then kick the founder. I really want to give my groups council the ability to promote people to take some of the burden off of myself but I can't becuase of this flaw in the way the system was created.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

That is true...However I think the problem is that the system has no way to distinguish whether the person making a promotion is a Full Control or a normal user. I also think that there isn't any way for Achronos to fix it, or he would have done so already. You just have to really trust the upper level people of your group.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

I have the promtion power in some of my groups. The thought of doing this is always in my head, but I would never do it. Besides the fact that it is stupid to do, I am way too lazy to plan this out. You just have to trust people.

This really is nothing compared to the role editing power. A person could just alter their role to have full power. No middle man needed. I'd watch this more carefully.

Only full control can edit security roles. However, non full controls can be given the power to create roles, and create a full control role, but if you notice, you can't move yourself, you have to have someone move you.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

People make alternate accounts and promote them

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

That's why i rarely allow anyone to edit security roles in my chapters. I'm afraid that's the only way to make sure your chapter can't be taken over.
