Tweaking of permission levels

[MinoMino]

Permission levels are very loosely defined. They should have a more clear definition of what the various levels should and should not allow.

Maybe these levels should be somewhat based on what they can do to the game. On my minqlbots i had them kinda set up like this:

Permlevel 1 -> Pass certain restrictions Permlevel 2 & 3 -> Match Management Permlevel 4 -> User Management Permlevel 5 -> Owner

Let me explain:

• Permlevel 1 I used that as a barrier breaker. When someone was restricted to the game because of elo-limits or not enough games_completed I could grant them Level 1 to pass these restrictions. Was always handy to have that - not much of a use now, but lateron?
• Permlevel 2 Here I grouped anything that would have to do with "light" match managing. Passing and vetoing votes, shuffling, putting players around, balancing, allready, abort, etc.
• Permlevel 3 Here I grouped anything that would have to do with "heavy" match managing. Things as kicking, kickbanning, permanently banning and mapchanging via !map (i consider this a major match management when not changing the map via democratic voting)
• Permlevel 4 Users that had Permlevel 4 could promote and demote users, but only up to their own level. No one but the Server Owner could set Permission Level 5 for users.
• Permlevel 5 Level of the serverowner. I always kept this to myself.

Thank you for the input. I think it'd be cleaner to instead implement some sort of way to exempt players from restrictions instead of using perm levels, but the idea of using level 1 as a non-administrative level is interesting and something I will consider. The rest sounds solid.

Yeah, thats just the way I handled it. Maybe gives some thoughts!

I like that system from mattized. i have one suggestion for the kick and ban feature. i would like to have kick in perm level 2 and ban in 3.
