Mod Maz,
Would it be possible to simply change the rank name "Administrator" to "Avatar Warden" in the code? (I realize using the words "simply" and "code" in the same sentence may be inappropriate.
)
The forum posts seem to show that this rank is being used by many clans primarily as a means to allow clan members to host the clan avatar. If you made this change and also provided the additional permission check boxes you're currently working on in the rewrite, this might solve a few dilemmas we've had concerning wanting to give avatar warden permissions to clannies without being forced to include other clan management permissions as well.
Just an idea I had that I wanted to share.
Possible, but totally misleading, as not all clans will run their clan that way. Indeed, not all clans have avatars! As the rank is capable of so much more, I won't be doing this.
Thank you for confirmation on this Maz, means a lot.
After reading many of the posts throughout this thread, it's slightly concerning to me personally, that some people would like the Admin rank switched to Avatar Warden. This may benefit a specific clan, but for much larger clans, and I would like to assume most clans, myself, and my ranks would find it completely demoralising to have their entire work and efforts for the clan summed up for one of 15 parts of their role. If this was changed, my entire ranking system would require a re-work as I would refuse to have my clan's hard-working support staff summed up to be a person who stands at a bank or does a slayer task getting some XP or auto-collect orts. -

I didn't see it under rank based permissions?
Coz it's in a weird state of not being live, but not being an imaginary update that might happen. Don't worry, it is coming

And having to rank a clan member as a rank called "Admin" just so they can summon the avatar isn't misleading as well? It works both ways, depending on your perspective. If a clan member has more responsibilities in the clan than "bank standing with the avatar" or the clan doesn't even have avatars, there are still the ranks of coordinator, organiser, and overseer. Those situations have other suitable ranks available. We have very little flexibility or options concerning admin and ava warden currently.
