He (or they) who cannot (or those who refuse!) to figure out the chain of command herein is/are forever doomed (and thusly identified) to demonstrating an impoverished perspective of this community.

Management and/or staff here are customarily reflected in their avatar titles, but not always.

So when one is identified as:

Administrator
Site "Guide"
The "Guide" In Black ®
Verified Companion & Community "Guide"

^^^ consider them the obvious and identified (in public, so to speak) community leaders with all the responsibilities and powers so accrued and thus endowed, along with others who may be currently hidden and/or yet to be published/promulgated.

Members accepted into our community are all "equals" at the get-go and demonstrate by their posts and threads whether they are deserving of more respect and more access, and perhaps, in due course, more responsibility.

Obviously, some members demonstrate they are "dicks" and a few are more obviously DICKISH! than others. And consequently may suffer reduced access and disenfranchisement.

This community, for the most part, is very well self-regulated.

We relatively few staff members do not need to ponder dealing with obvious outlandish or disrespectful behavior.

But we do regularly consider whether some members self-nominate themselves for "disengagement" which usually results in an avatar title of

MEMBERSHIP REVOKED - STALKING & FAILURE TO RESPECT SITE RULES

or

SCAMS AND STALKS AND OUTS PROVIDERS

or similar descriptions based on established facts and data.

Or reductions in access or status etc.

The few infractions handed out on a regular usually are in relation to overposting in restricted forums, or in disrespecting the few rules which can be found in the FAQ subsection:

Questions about "ownership" herein are out of bounds for the obvious privacy reasons.
