Ranks and Staff Members « Thread Started on May 22, 2008, 6:02pm »
ADMINS
Current admins:
Karma Bomb
The admins are in charge of the entire forum. They're the ones who actually implant new ideas and put them into action, or take away things that aren't working out.
G-MODS
Current g-mods:
Mudd
In addition to the powers a normal mod has, g-mods have the ability to accept character applications. G-mods are chosen from the normal mods.
A-MODS
Current a-mods:
Pir8
A-mods are essentially a mod and an artist all rolled into one rank. They can mod threads and create skins and other graphics for the forum. The A in the rank title stands for "Artist".
MODS
Current mods:
Brady
Normal mods are given the hefty job of moderating the forum's threads, from making NPCs appear in people's threads to making the environment change during a thread (e.g. a volcano erupting).
ARTISTS
Current artists:
Blueberry Rika
The people who are responsible for making graphics and skins for the forum, plus character references if they're open to requests. You'd be looking at one ugly forum if we didn't have them, so make sure you give an artist a cookie or ten thousand. Artists also primarily create monsters for the forum.
Regardless of rank, all staff members are expected to behave certain ways and not break rules. They are expected to be friendly to all members, not bicker with other members and above all, be tolerant, creative and patient. In return, please respect the decisions of staff members. If you believe a staff member is acting unfairly or is misusing their powers, contact an admin or a G-mod (hopefully you won't be calling out staff members too often).

Staff Member Bios -
Just a general list of who each staff member is, how long they've been on staff, and an archive of sorts for past staff members. Each staff member gets to decide what gets put here for their own bio, such as a funny story or a random fact about themselves.
Admins:
KARMA - May 2008 - present
Your friendly neighborhood Karma. She's notably awful at spelling, and the Microsoft Word Paperclip is her nemesis because of this. In fact, she had to hire an entire team of one Bomb to spell check the entire forum. There have been rumors of her going insane after having to type up over forty-five board descriptions and twenty-something race descriptions, so perhaps confronting her isn't the best idea if you happen to be obnoxiously obnoxious.
Regarding on how she plans on ruling Arplakoon, Karma said the following:
"This isn't Burger King. You can't have it your way."
The forum will definitely prosper under her kind rule!
BOMB - May 2008 - present
The admin who spell and grammar checks everything, including this thread. She often finds it necessary to yell at Karma if something on Arplakoon makes no real sense, and has went through every thread she realistically could to be sure that everyone knows what Karma is trying to say; therefore, Bomb is essentially the Karmic interpreter. In addition, she finds it spectacularly hilarious to assault Karma's authority.
She is also the master of Arplakoon's coding, and went through many a tiring coding search to make Arplakoon look shiny. She is so masterful at coding, that luckily, Arplakoon never exploded. Really!
Despite all this, however, you can usually find her slacking off somewhere and avoiding doing anything even remotely productive.
