NOTICE: Giving out Site Admin to Others
We've had a few people contact us recently to inform us that a guild member, that they gave site admin to, has done things like delete the guild membership, kick characters, and be a general nuiscance.
I just wanted to stress that the elevated Admin priviliges are there so you can give people extra priviliges, but with that extra ability comes alot of power. People with member priviliges can kick all your members, a person with Forum permissions can delete all of your forums.
As much as we feel your pain, there isn't anything we can do about this when it's someone you have granted special priveleges to. If there is something nefarious like a hack (which has never happened) then we'll certainly investigate, but if a person who was granted guild priviliges exercises those priviliges there is nothing we can do.
Be careful who you give admin to your site.

Got to echo Stephens comments here . Giving someone admin is like giving them the keys to your car . Our site has 3 admins . Me , my brother in law and my wife . They both know if they arent sure dont click it and ask .
Having a site go down through misclicks or design when you have put a lot of work in is plain annoying . Privilege is the key word here . If they cant handle it then take it off them .
