I'm thinking every vtn should be demoted apart from maybe ex mods. here's why, right now the voting system is broken, people are using alts to vote, and with some people having massive lists of accounts, we're talking like 100+ it's very easy for one person to make themselves/someone they like a vtn once they get on the votes. People have been using this legitimately gain the vtn rank in the past and probably still will. Not only this but people have gotten vtn by bribes or being nice to people and once they have the rank they just stop.
Some things need to change before people get de-ranked like:
~votes from only one account per IP.
~no two accounts may have the same email.
if problems persist maybe make votes RSD+ I mean lets face it, RSD is a easy rank to get and I don't think you could really get a good opinion of a player, like are they vtn worthy or not when you have >30 hours
So now the votes are fixed, what now? Well, speaking as a vtn all vtns should be de-ranked firstly to make it fair, and also to be honest if you can't get the rank back like you're in-active, not nice to other players, not able to use your alts to get your rank back, not trusted anymore... Then maybe you should not have the rank.
Lastly, I think the rank is no longer what it should be: Someone who is nice to all other players, trustworthy, will help someone at the drop of a hat and has the knowledge to help them, and has been active on the server for a long time.
De-ranking all vtns should mean that only the players who do all this can get the rank back.
Last thing though, some moderators use the rank as sorta a retirement thing, if they have been trustworthy enough to be a mod and have proven themselves, I think they should stay VTN
it'll suck for us vtns at first be it'll be worth it once the respect of the rank in no-longer being brought down by bad players.
My feels go out to Korpi, Silent and Snow who have only been recently voted in XD but if you have already had the rank it should be easier to get it back.
