I will say it again:
Seperate hackers from moderators.
They are 2 whole diffrent skills and should not be unified.
A few ideas I had also regarding this:
-Hackers would have their own secret/non-secret section, where they can discuss about all their hacking(Tagged games, new techniques, ect).
-Hackers would have full moderator powers in the hacking sections, but not in other sections, which remain under the moderators control.
-Any other suggestions people might have.
