Ranks can target ranks they are not suppose to

[Blackety]

On my server, I have quite a bit of ranks. The core ranks are trusted, donator, vip, respected, mini-mod, mod, and admin. In addition to these ranks, there are also staff ranks that show if they are a donator with a plus symbol after their rank name i.e. Admin+. Vips however have to have their own unique group for reasons irrelevant to this issue. With that said, the problem I am having is when a mini-mod can't target a mod+ but can target a mod. This isn't suppose to happen as you'd expect. Below I have listed all the ranks with their inheritances and targets. Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated!

superadmin
inherits admin
*

admin
inherits liquid
!%superadmin

liquid
inherits mod
!% admin

mod
inherits mini-mod
!%admin

qav
inherits respected
!%mini-mod

mini-mod
inherits respected
!%liquid

fountain
inherits respected
!% mini-mod

respected
inherits donator
!%mini-mod

donator
inherits trusted
!%mini-mod

trusted
inherits user
!%mini-mod

user
*


The names founts, liquid and qav for VIPs. They have their own rank. They get the same rights as respected but the liquid rank instead gets mod powers.

Unfortunately, since you have an inheritance tree that branches, you'll have to specify the groups that they CAN target (as opposed to what they can't). For example, for mini-mod, you'd specify "#respected,#donator,#trusted,#user" (or similar depending on your desires) for can target. Note '#' instead of '%' which targets a group explicitly instead of using inheritance.

Thanks for the help! Once small question just to be accurate, do I put a space in between the targets or not?

#respected,#donator

or

#respected, #donator


That's what I mean.  Wasn't sure if it mattered or not.

I can't remember for certain, but I think it will work either way.
