In the world of ninjas you have a variety of ranks from Genin to Kage. Those ranks can be compared to member to staff rankings here at Cheyenne.
You have:
Genin - Members Chuunin - Moderators Jounin - Global Moderators Kage - Administrators
Yes, we are the Hidden Village of Cheyenne, at least for this suggestion. The site runs quite smoothly, but once you are apart of staff you have a heavy load that usually conflicts with your own personal life, and the life of whoever threads are open and you are actively replying to; and that's just the main journey. In addition to the main journey threads Cheyenne has side quests (usually missions), Shops, the Pound, and Legendary Isle which needs attention as well.
In a ninja village, there's a specialized unit who excels at the smaller things or one thing. They just do one thing very well. The Special Jounin! Here on Cheyenne, maybe we need a Special Jounin. A few members who don't or aren't able to put in the necessary workload to be a full-time mod, someone who could cover the shop and other miscellaneous threads while our Chunnin and Kage's actively attacked main routes.
What I am suggestion is a small mod position, where Verona City and our Other Areas can get specialized attention. Moderators for doing the little things that go a long way. A Mini-Mod, Special Mod, Little Mod, Local Mod, lol I dunno a name for it but hey it's just a suggestion.

I know it's been slow, but adding a new member group would just complicate things. It's a bit hard on Resix and the site coding, and Verona and the Other Areas don't need mods. Just for those TD or Ace missions, and they aren't as high priority as the journey threads. If it's for shops, we have Gmods to handle that with their PD changing powers. They're both just swamped right now. :< Summer has been pretty busy for everyone, especially with all of these awesome new members recently!
Hint for more staff considered though. Some of the mods still have finals, and I know Wolfy was really sick recently. ;.; If we have too much staff, then the ones we do have will start to lose muse from one or two mods modding a shitton again.

I would be open to hiring more moderators, but there are a few problems with your suggestion:
(x) minimods or whatever would have to bother an upper staff member to change pd to mod the shops anyway. i'm not comfortable allowing people to modify profiles without having absolute trust in them.
(x) another usergroup would require me to go through all of the .css files for every skin to add the coding for it. it takes about an hour and it's a pain in the ass.
(x) we've tried designating areas in the past for people to mod and it's never worked out. we change mods so frequently and it gets really uneven and horrible when people are assigned to different things.
c: I'm definitely open to hiring more mods if you guys feel we need them, but legendary island is always going to be one of those upper-staff only areas. it always has been, it always will be.

You won me at the coding. Ouch. I understand the points you guys are making indeed. You can lock the thread now or whatever happens to hashed ideas
