Current Staff and Ranks (& log)

Administrators:
@OTDE
Administrators have the power to do anything on the website. They add forums, edit users and usergroups, and for the most part, what they say goes.

Moderators:
@Opal Rider, @Apple
Moderators are the "cops" of the forum; they can edit threads, ban users, and intimidate people. (But they're all very nice and will only intimidate you if you're troublemaking)

Line Rider Legends:
@anomaly76, @OwlFlavored, @Abysmal Pea, @Ram Tzu, @namtlade, @x612nt13, @Z_N-Freak, @Blesshiscottonsocks, @RovanO, @Sam T. Poor, @Conundrumer, @Sorvius, @Hedgehogs4Me, @FlagCapper, @LineRiderGjert, @Leomur, @Georgio_jc, @Holcomb227, @TechDawg, @SPL4SHZ0N3, @Cereal, @Commandercoke, @Rafael, @gaoyubao, @SethComposerGuy, @mr_unconed, @Sheldon
Line Rider Legends are truly the best of the best in Line Rider. These members have significantly influenced the game, and will be acknowledged for years to come for their insane line-drawing skills. A section honoring them can be found here

Retired Staff
These members have retired from their previous staff duties. They still have access to Team Place but no actual power to enact change. A sticky thread honoring them can be found here

Developers
These members have contributed to new modifications and builds of Line Rider versions. A sticky thread introducing them can be found here

The staff will use this thread as a log of all promotions/demotions. I'll start it off:
