Post Rename our content developers to "Contributers"
It's pretty confusing to have a bunch of people who really only add/tweak stuff, and others that are core developers. Volountary content developers who only look at their own stuff shouldn't be held responsible for "When is uni reset coming?" or "When will bug XXX be fixed?!" if said content dev only is responsible for YYY.

If we rename the content developers to Contributers, or Content Contributers, then they have a less formal title, and are less likely to be confronted with stuff that isn't their responsibility.

Jey: Server Contributor
Diabolus: Afk PR Contributor
Ryan: Code Contributor
Enkelin: Senior Balance Contributor
Hober: Content Contributor
Markoz: Modeler/Textures/Content Contributor
Voomy: Support Contributor

Jey's title change is redundant. Diabolus is technically the PR admin. Ryan is an admin that also does XML changes. Enkelin's title change is a bit redundant. Hober changes numbers and adds content. Markoz does all three; that's a funny looking title. Voomy is listed as an admin by Jeff, but doesn't do much than answer and forward support tickets to appropriate devs/admins.

Other games list "developer" in the place where Jeff, Ryan, Dia, and Voomy reside. We use the word administrator. So SS would be downgrading all the admins to devs, and making all the current devs a different name. We would also have to identify and list out the contractors (Thomas was contracted to do some website changes) as contractors.

Based on the response in the thread, nobody else thinks it's a problem that volountary content devs might get mixed up with staffed core game devs.
