Include Battle Server Staff on Forum Leaders page

This seems to have been overlooked.

Well, they aren't Forum leaders so I don't see why they'd need to be listed since they aren't in charge of a specific forum. They are moderators of a program hosted off site that happens to be related to Pokecommunity, but they aren't in charge of any specific forum.

Brought forward to HQ for voting. We'll let you know if it goes through.

Voting occurred, and it was unanimously decided to not include them. (0-11) Reasoning includes that battle server staff aren't forum staff, but staff on a separate chat system off the forums. They aren't the people members should contact about forum matters, while if someone has a server issue to raise they are identifiable on the battle server itself.

It would be nice if the battle server was placed next to the chat in the navigation bar, along with a hyperlink to this thread. By doing so, people get an easy-to-access list of the battle server staff, for what it's worth.

I agree with the HQ-staff's reasoning and love wolf's idea! That way people who access the server from pc that route will see rules and staff list easily before they jump into it, and the link to the server itself is clearly visible early on in that thread.

So why do they have their own usergroup on the forums?

So why do they have their own usergroup on the forums?

People often had trouble identifying the members in question on the forums so as a result they got a special usergroup which comes with either a purple italic name, or if said person is forum staff already they have a purple tag on their userbar.

We're not forum leaders. Even though we moderate the battle server, it's not an actual part of the forum. The only reason we've got a seperate usergroup is because we discuss server matters on PC. The colour? To make us more recognisable. That's all there is to it really. :/

So why do they have their own usergroup on the forums?

Because they still frequent the site, there's a staff forum for managing the server, and it's our quasi-official server. They aren't forum staff, they possess none powers afforded to site staff members, (Unless they already are one) such as the editing, deleting, disabling of posts or signatures, so they won't be found on a list of Pokecommunity staff members.

I notice that the Battle Server Staff doesn't seem to show up when one has the option to force text usergroups in the postbit enabled and they are already supporters. Can this be fixed?
