I hate rule breakers so much. This will be a good change.

Re: Changes to Mutes.
Mike, Dylan (Donderstone2) and myself. But Dylan hasn't been active in years so in practice supers is synonymous with owners.
I'm not sure how this even found its way into common parlance. In reality super users are a tiny technical footnote barely worth mentioning. It's a safeguard against potentially catastrophic bugs or hacks which has never been needed. It prevents these few people from being locked out of the game through any means other than altering the game code, since it is written directly into the game code that they cannot be locked out. Other than that it has no meaning and definitely does not convey any additional status (though a lot of people seem to think that it does).

Ohh okay, sounds like a smart idea to me. Thanks for explaining the term.Rapsey wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:25 pmMike, Dylan (Donderstone2) and myself. But Dylan hasn't been active in years so in practice supers is synonymous with owners.

Re: Changes to Mutes.
I vaguely remember hearing it from Tyler and Hamade first, back in like 2011/2012. After that it was 'common knowledge' for the staff, who used the term a lot until the community caught on as well.Rapsey wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:25 pmMike, Dylan (Donderstone2) and myself.

Works well on a bunch of kids who gawk at any sort of power hierarchy, and see the 'supers' being the ones on top
Fitting name in a way. Also led to criticism (no fault of your own, or Mike's), some folks thought y'all had a god complex and calling yourself 'supers' was a symptom of that. Kind of funny since you didn't really use the term in the first place
