Executive

Executive is a high staff rank on Cryptic Phoenix.

About the Rank
Executive is the second highest rank on the server, and is the highest rank that can be attained by the average player, as Owner is basically an off-limits rank reserved for the server's leaders.

Executives basically act as a "mini-Owner", as they have access to many of the commands that Owners do, except for high-security commands such as /shutdown or /setinfo. They have the power to ban and demote Admins, and have the longest AFK time on the server, being able to stay idle for an hour before being kicked from the server.

Executives have the power to accept applications up to Admin, although they typically leave final decisions to the Owners. They also can accept and deny World and Project Applications and have access to normal Forum Moderator commands. They also have access to the elusive Staff Forum on the server's forums.

Obtaining the Rank
It is not possible to apply for Executive, as by this point, the Owners and other current Executives are aware of the user's current server and forum capabilities. This is also done to prevent the likely spam of said applications, as many players know that this is a high powered and extremely coveted rank.

When a new player is being proposed for the Executive rank, there is typically a poll setup by an Owner, listing his or her accomplishments and setting their fate to the rest of the server. Cryptic Phoenix typically expects a 75% approval rate on the poll before issuing the promotion.

Should a player wish to qualify for Executive, the best thing they can do is not ask about the rank, as it just makes the player look over-eager to get the rank, or could ever border on making the player look rank hungry, which could kill any current consideration that the Owners may have for that player.

The player typically has to be the Admin rank (on rare occasions Creator is also acceptable), which also requires having at least two hundred hours on the server. The player also is expected to have good grammar, have a friendly personality, and be forum literate, as that also becomes part of their job upon acceptance. If the player qualifies well, and tends to be free from problems, they will be contacted by an Owner to see if they are interested in the chance at the position.
