Another of our changes in 2016 is working with our organisational leaders to help make their orgs more compelling and rewarding! As the first part of these changes, we've introduced a change to the way promotions and demotions work in houses and cities. Here are the details:

* Movement through the ranks is now handled by HOUSE|CITY PROMOTE|DEMOTE <person>. These commands will move the member by a whole rank.

* House and city favours will no longer covey a rank increase, but now exist as a way to recognise the achievements of your members. All favours will now be visible to all members with HOUSE|CITY FAVOURLOG <person>.

* Leaders of these organisations can now specify a credit amount to be awarded to favour recipients. This can be anywhere from 0 - 50 bound credits from the city's coffers. HOUSE|CITY FAVOURCREDITS to see and set this.

* PROMOTE/DEMOTE only works for members who are lower in rank than the person. This does not apply to the leader of the organisation.

* Access to these commands is given via an investible power in houses and by rank six (or city leader) in cities.

We'll be continuing these changes over the coming weeks and months as we continue to refine and improve the experience for you all!
