=== Governance === The community made use of a linear rank structure where each position in the chain generally had authority over those beneath it. At the top was the community's owner. Below the owner were root administrators, which acted as a pseudo council or group of advisors to the owner. They had total access to all community assets, including the source code for hosted services, and they possessed sweeping authority over community structure and governance. Generally, root administrators also had some programming knowledge to assist with the upkeep and innovation of services, though it was never stated to be a requirement. Becoming a root administrator was done by appointment of the owner. Below the root administrators were super administrators, which mainly served as the managers of the staff team underneath them. They had access to an exclusive forum board for discussing sensitive issues and had full access to administrative tools. Their primary duty, aside from general moderation of player behavior, would be to investigate tickets submitted against staff members of abuse and observe staff members covertly on hosted services for misconduct. Following super administrators were trusted administrators, of who acted as advanced administrators. They did not possess authority the administrators that were beneath them, but they were granted the ability to investigate tickets relating to player abuse, ban globally from all servers, and greater access to administrative tools. Their primary duty was responding to tickets and mentoring administrators. Becoming a trusted administrator or super administrator was performed via an altered form of [[wikipedia:Co-option|cooption]]<ref group="notes">In ByB, elevation to trusted administrator included the collective majority approval of all trusted administrators ''and'' all ranks '''higher''' on the chain. The same principle applied to super administrators.</ref>. Below trusted administrators were administrators, who acted as the moderation team for hosted services. They were responsible for overseeing player behavior on the DarkRP servers and issuing discipline as necessary. They would also be responsible for submitting tickets on the forum requesting elevated discipline in the event it was warranted and their own permissions were insufficient. Becoming an administrator was done by [[ByB Community#Purchasing rank|purchasing the position]] on the website. ==== Nomination system ==== Going above a base administrator was done via ''nomination'', wherein a member of the relevant rank would post in a section of the forum that only that rank (and higher) could see suggesting promotion. Participants would then provide support or opposition to the individual in the form of replying. After an arbitrary period a root administrator would evaluate the discussion and determine whether there was agreement to promote. Root administrators notably had the power to "veto" nominations, in that they could unilaterally block a promotion. Regardless of the outcome, once the discussion concluded, the thread would be moved to a root administrator only section of the forum (though if promotion was successful, it was done prior to assigning view permissions). This was done so that participants could speak freely without worry of judgment from the subject.
