[\sarcasm][\hyperbel]So basicly longterm loyalty is worth nothing anymore and we'll be living in a nice communist community where everyones equal except staff/goverment of course. [\hyperbel][\sarcasm]
My opinion:
I never liked the time based ranks to have more priviliges than normal members so to cut that down is nice. It is however a massive depreciation of long term loyalty no matter how you phrase it. I'd rather have a purely cosmetic veteran rank that's on the same level as normal members with ranks above (wether they are named Gurus or whatever) linked to doing more and open to both normal and veteran members. Also if you're going by that it's pretty inconsistent to pull newly returned members right back into staff (that is not to say it was wrong just that it's out of line with what's described here).
Quick edit: Rather not make more enemies here, but I think almost all staff has my skype anyways to contact me there.
