Editing Ranks

'''Ranks''', also known as groups, are awarded based on a combination of factors, including donations (currently unavailable), community involvement, and staff status throughout [[Inferris]]. Different ranks offer varying levels of privileges and responsibilities.

* '''Donations:''' In the future, supporting Inferris through donations may grant access to certain ranks as a thank you.
* '''Community Involvement:''' Active participation, helpfulness, and positive contributions can potentially lead to a rank reward.
* '''Staff Positions:''' Moderators and Administrators are appointed based on specific criteria and application processes (currently closed).
