I have decided to change the staff ranks a fair bit, and provide clear definitions. Mostly making new names that sound different yet mean the same, but hopefully will provide clear workings as to their responsibilities.

Definitions:

Guides - Simply players who chosen to know the rules through and through with meaning and intent, and help to maintain peace and stability in the server.

Masons/Carpenters(Builders) - Build and maintain structures for server-wide use, typically being lore builds. May also help in construction of kingdom structures, though they may not provide amenities(crafting/enchanting tables, armor stands with armor, etc) without permission from an Artisan.

Artisans(Head Builders) - Special builders who have shown a talent for construction and fair knowledge of WorldEdit. They may give permission to add amenities to builders, and may do so themselves.

Smiths - RP gear makers, specializing in the making of server role play items. They have no creative mode(and therefore must ask a mod or higher to provide the items) but have access to CE and AIE.

Arbiters(Mods) - Moderate chat, patrol for signs of cheating, and mediate between disagreeing parties who claim infraction of rules(cheating, if you prefer).

Governors(Admins) - Carry out the Owner's orders, mediate between staff, and patrol the lower staff inventories(particularly those of Builders) for illegitimate items. If the staff member has proof and a valid reason as to why they have that item, they may keep it.

Assessor(Head Admin) - The head administrator, mediating all policies below them. In times when neither Owner nor Co-owner are on they have the right to make a decision based on the information they have at the time, but they must give a full account of that decision once they can contact a higher authority. There can be only one Assessor at any one time.

Co-owner - Acts with the Owner's authority if they are not there to represent themselves.

Owner - Controller of the whole server.

New rules -

1: No-one but the Owner may permanently ban someone without a very good reason. And by very good reason, it is understood that the offender is hacking the server itself or some equivalent. Temporary bans may last up to two weeks maximum and two days minimum(for truly serious offenses), for the Owner to be able to make a fully informed decision regarding the offender's fate.

2: If a staff member is found to be truly abusing their power, up to the rank of Admin, it is the duty of their fellow staff to immediately return the offender to Default and let the Owner decide their fate.

3: If a staff member above Admin(Co-owner or Assessor) is found to be truly a using their power, it is the duty of their fellow staff to report them to the Owner as soon as humanly possible. Any bans made by the abuser concerning the want to hide their abuses will be undone, and any staff brave enough to risk the ban and speak freely will be commended(and they will have done their good deed for the day, a plus, along with the warm glow of feeling good).

4: If it is felt that the Owner is abusing his power, it is the duty of the staff to inform them of this as soon as humanly possible. While it can be said that Faenor might not always be in control of the server, it can be said that he is reasonable and willing to admit his shortcomings. If the Owner will not admit this, it is the right of the staff to boycott their duties until the Owner comes to his senses. This rule may not be rescinded by the Owner, whosoever they may be.
