well, i think Vladimir has the right way to handle this. I dont see the need for anyone to think that they can only help if they have green name.
If people fix things, post them in the forum, then the Dev's can see what these peoples work is like, then maybe at a later date, when they have "proved" themselves, then they can talk about being "official" mangos devs.
Its not just about someones skill, its also about trust, and about people having the right view of what mangos is and where it is heading.
I also agree with the comments made about Paradox, this guy has a serious attitude problem, Im sure he has some skill in what he does, but he has no idea about how to talk and interact with other people (you should see some of the PM's ive had from him )
As for access to change usergroups etc, ive sent TheLuda a PM, just incase he happens to check them at sometime, basically asking if someone else could be given access to change groups, IP ban and some other useful things.
