Okay, I'm going to just throw this idea out here.
I'm just going to assume you want the members to have the opportunity to target members, and elites to target both members and elites. It was a good idea when I was a member/elite, but now that I am a Veteran, I clearly understand why this is not a good idea.
First off, Veterans are given many things that Members and Elites don't have because its a "gift" for earning the rank in itself. I see the ability to be able to target Members and Elites as a privilege for proving you are mature enough to know not to use that power for your own gain. Trust me, there were many people I wanted to slay/kick/ban because they were acting like a huge asshole, but I knew my limits.
Did u read the topic?

By this, I mean things like moving AFK members into spec, kicking AFK members when the server is full.
This could (in future, but NOT when voting for this POLL) include slaying/swapping members who aren't playing their role, targeting members to mute/silence when they are spamming.
However, for the purposes of this poll, I am simply referring to using the power to move/kick AFKs and other relevant actions.

To give that to Members and Elites, is like taking away that feeling of respect and maturity because people will see that "It doesn't take a lot of maturity to be an admin with full powers." It also provides a reason for people to strive to get to Veteran. That's one of the main reasons i worked hard to get my Veteran, because I knew I could help even further. Just giving it to the whole group of admins would remove that feeling from peoples hearts because "hey, we already got it."
I feel as if it brings out the people who will be true to the clan and will work hard for what they want, instead of it getting handed to them immediately.
Secondly, you guys don't need it. You guys have the ability to report someone on the forums and let that process handle itself. "But that's not fair! You guys could easily make the reports!" Yeah? Well it wasn't fair when I did it, but I still worked my ass off to get where I am today. You need to prove you are worthy for the ability to target members. You need to show your maturity is in check, and your activity towards the clan is sufficient enough in order to obtain these high privileges.
We have to report them when they are AFK so you can come in and swap them? What kind of action would that be, you really want to be that "imporant" to egn?

Lastly, you guys are at the bottom of the totem pole. You don't expect a job is going to give you the keys to the presidents office on the first day. There is a pyramid system just like everything up in the world. You have to separate the privileges that people get to keep the interest of those. There has to be something that divides the ranks up to actually make them ranks. If we all have the same permissions, then why have different ranks?
Again, did you even read the topic? The topic is not about slaying. Just putting AFK to spec, and kicking them when the server is full so others can play.

I feel as if you guys should stop asking for things Veterans have, and accept that fact that everything just not going to be handed to you because you want it. If you aren't getting promoted, that should tell you something. Its rather you aren't putting enough time into the clan, or you are just a bad sport. So my answer is no. I don't see how this will benefit the clan in any way shape or form. You don't need access to this much power. Work hard, and show that you have the maturity to have access this power, and you will be Veteran before you know it.
So you actually believe we are not capable of switching AFK members to spec and kicking them when they have been in spec for 2 hours?
You really need to stop believing that everyone below veteran is incompetent to do things properly.
