The members from level 12 till 17
These members dont have a give function or task, they will gain level by membership length. After they have run through these levels (11 till 17) they wont get promoted by lenght of membership but instead they will get promoted by the Co-leaders/Leaders.
The members from level 18 till 19
Will be chosen and given levels by the co-leaders and leaders, the members in these levels will watch over the guests in the server and keep an eye out for black sheeps. They will have the commands to take care of those people (kick, Mute) and maybe !ban for the level 19. They also will search for Hackers and Botters.
it definitely was in the announcments, maybe you did not see it. happens
Also, just as it works with the guest (and this was also said in the news), people might lose their lvl if they behave badly. So IF there is a member lvl...lets say...15. because he is in clan for longer/registered on forum for quite a while, and he behaves bad in a server/on forum (starting fights, insulting...etc. yall know that) he might be lowered to e.g. lvl 14.
this way we still have the ability to see who is "worth" having lvl. Also, what u might have overlooked, too: these lvl dont mean the world. Members are there to have fun playing in the servers - in the end, ET it a game u play with friends. So a member who got auto-promoted is not able to harm someone with any commands, because he doesnt have abusive commands. And if he chooses to harm with words - he gets demoted. End
So this: for me this means even if they don't deserve to be promoted as long they spam the forum day and night, they will be promoted.
it not absolutely correct. only the ones who "deserve" a promotion will have a higher lvl. Trollers who dont deserve it will be demoted.
I guess this promoting-system differs from the one we are talking about ---and---just because the first plane did not get far, it doesnt mean planes built after also failed, right? :P
