ok so i know right off the bat about 5 people who will disagree with this idea simply because they would have something to lose if it is implemented

but what i am suggesting is that helpdesk and admins be held to the same rules (IE: not being able to hold a position of power)

my reasoning behind this is simple helpdesk much like admin's are a seperate class of users that are not just here to play the game

helpdesk to my knowledge has access to tickets which could in turn give them a advantage when viewed (im not accusing anyone of doing this)

many people open helpdesk tickets for a variety of reason HOWEVER not everyone thinks "wait what if my in game enemy knows this information and uses it against me"

given the recent discussion of admin's wanting to make clear cut rules i feel helpdesk is in such a grey area they themselves need clear cut rules as well so why not make them follow the same rules as administrators?

I'm not so sure about including Helpdesk in this, because Helpdesk don't have a huge amount of power, and it'd mean a lot of people would be put off applying to be Helpdeskers, which would be bad for the game because Helpdesk solely relies on players being willing to invest their time. But I do think that anything above Helpdesk, for instances, Assistants, should be bound by the same rules as the admins. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of difference between that and the admin role, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, in my opinion, to not bind that position by the same rules. If a member of staff can correct me on my lack of seeing the difference between the two though, I'd be interested to know what the difference officially is.
