Administrator

Administrator is the second-highest staff rank on BizzCraft. It's also one of the most powerful ranks able to earned by a player. Admins mainly oversee the server as Mods do but with extra powers and responsibilities. They do more "background" work, whereas Moderators are always on the frontlines so to speak. They answer to only the Head-Admin and Owner. The rank has a dark red prefix saying "Admin".

History
The Admin rank has been in existence since the server's inception. In 2012, there was actually a Trial-Admin rank (colored aqua), but this was soon abandoned as the Moderator rank came into use more, and there was no need for a "trial" rank in between Moderator and Admin.

In 2013 and 2014, the Admin rank was basically a Senior-Moderator rank. Admins only had a few more powers than Moderators (such as rolling back griefs and being able to IP ban players). Admins also did no backend work, as that was all done by the owner, dsbizz. Their main duties were to simply moderate chat and the website along with the mods and to support and direct the mod team. Only the owners were able to promote and demote staff.

In the summer of 2015, RosieSlippers became the first Administrator in BizzCraft history to be opped, receiving full access to all server commands. With this new power, she was able to do a lot more than previously possible, and the Admin rank greatly expanded in its responsibilities. Admins were now able to do things like build server buildings, manage the staff team, and more.

At the end of 2015, however, the powers previously granted to the Admin rank were moved to the new "Manager" rank, and Admins were no longer granted access to all server commands. The Admin rank was still more powerful than it was before though.

After the Manager rank was abolished and Head-Admin reinstated, Admins mainly continued with the same amount of power and responsibility. After the Admin team reform of September 2016, more and more power was granted back to the Admins in order to reduce the stress on the Head-Admin. This continued with Admins eventually being opped again (given access to all commands) sometime in 2017.

Since then, the Admin team model has now become more of a true Admin team. The Admin team handles most backend server tasks that Owner previously took care of. This includes managing the website, the staff team, performing map resets, conducting server maintenance and other technical tasks, and dictating server policy.

Though the Admin role has changed a lot over the years, it remains the highest and most respected of the staff ranks. Out of the tens of thousands of players who have spent time on BizzCraft, only a handful have achieved this rank. It represents dedication to the community and those who are promoted to this rank are chosen very carefully.
