In my server (I use TJW), the master admins who got the * as permission have the cmds !undesignate and !designate and also have the Designated Builder privilege, what can I do to disable this fucking Designated Privilege from the High Admins?

Thx for anyone who help me!

Are you sure you re using TJW's mod and not Alien Wrath's mod ?

AFAIK, TJW doesnt have the Designated Builder function in it.

if you had read this you would know that you should mark your higher admins as '*d' instead of '*' (i think, i don't remember for sure if the admin flag for perma-designate is 'd')

Excuse me, but to put it bluntly...

You have no business to run a server, no matter the mod.
If you can not read the manual and have absolutely no clue what you got installed, you'd better shut the server down.

I've had this problem too, and that's not the flag. Neither is D, and I'm having trouble finding a list anywhere. I'd look into it more, but I got !denybuild instead anyway so it's not an issue anymore.
I remember a suggestion of it being P or S or something.

Nope, the problem is that structure protection is turned on by default, so I build a few tubes or turrets to start off, then I find other people can't move them later. Yes, I could turn it off easily enough, but it's a pain and I often forget.

First of all, the necessary flag is not in the manual, so you can read it all you like and still be confused. And about whether you decide who runs servers:
Rubbish. My computer, my server, I can do what I like with it. Worst-case scenario, you spend ten minutes of your time finding out exactly how bad I am at running a server, and leave, never to come back. That's the risk you take when you join a new server, and I have no responsibility to ensure everyone who joins has a good time. I don't owe you anything.

My comment was aimed at the OP, not at you.

Is that really important? Your comments are just as right or wrong whoever they are directed at, and when I think you're being unfair, I'll comment, even if I wasn't on the receiving end.
kevlarman, thanks for finding it, I'll keep that in mind.

# is for permanent designation. I consider it to be more like ! and @, so I don't have it covered by * in my game.qvms.

To remove # from people with *, use *-#
