===Guest===
The Guest rank is the default assigned to new players without a forum account. Guests are limited to building only in the Survival world.
Guest is the default rank assigned to new players without a forum account. Guests are limited to building only in the Survival world, though they may freely explore the other worlds.
===Member===
Member is the rank granted to players who have registered for an account on [http://projectcitybuild.com/forums/ the forums]. Member is the minimum rank required to build in the Creative world. Members have access to a greater range of commands than that of Guests, such as /tpa and /home, and can take part in community events.
===Trusted===
Trusted is a rank obtained via a staff nomination process. Staff may nominate members of the community for the rank to recognize longevity or positive contributions to the server. This rank grants access to a wide range of useful commands and perks, such as /nickname, /tp, Armor Stand Tools, deathchests, and an increase from three to five homes. Trusted players are also able to able to contribute directly to [[Monarch]], Project City Build's premier city project.


=== Member ===
Prior to September 2014, only Donators had access to /nickname and deathchests. These permissions were added to Trusted due to the EULA changes.
The Member rank can be obtained by registering an account on [http://projectcitybuild.com/forums/ the forums]. Member is the default rank upon registering on the Project City Build website. Members have limited access to commands such as /tpa and are also granted free starter in-game money as a thanks for their effort. Members have access to a greater range of commands than that of guests and can take part in community events.


==== Notable Additions from Guest ====
=== Trusted+ ===
* Building in Creative
Trusted+ is the highest obtainable non-staff rank. The rank is obtained via a staff nomination process much stricter than that of the Trusted rank. It is given to members of the community that represent Project City Build's core values and display outstanding dedication to the community. Trusted+ grants all permissions available to both the Trusted and Donator ranks, as well as the ability to apply for WorldEdit access in the Creative world. Trusted+ players may also be given early access to new projects for testing or advisory purposes.
* /tpa
* 3 Homes


=== Trusted ===
===Donator===
The Trusted rank is obtained via a staff nomination process, generally given to long-standing members of the community. This rank grants access to a huge range of useful commands and perks.
Donator is the rank granted to players who have donated to Project City Build. The rank can be obtained on either a permanent or temporary basis. A donation of $30 USD or greater will result in permanent Donator privileges, while a donation of less than $30 will result in temporary privileges at a cost of $3/month. The Donator rank is separate from the main rank hierarchy and therefore is displayed concurrently for players ranked Trusted and above. Donators gain access to cosmetic privileges like colored nicknames.


==== Notable Additions from Members ====
== Staff Ranks ==
* Deathchest*
* Nickname*
* Flight in Survival
* Increased home limit (5)
* Teleporting
* /ast


<nowiki/>* These were added to Trusted due to the EULA changes of September 2014. Previously only Donators had them.
===Moderator===
Moderator is the first obtainable staff rank. Moderator can be applied for via the website when positions are available. The rank is meant to introduce staff members to moderation tools like muting, kicking, banning, and block logging. Moderators are responsible for looking after the server day-to-day and assisting players with basic needs.


=== Donator ===
Higher-ranked members of the staff team may nominate a Moderator to be promoted to Operator when they have demonstrated a good understanding of their duties.
The Donator rank can be obtained on either a permanent or temporary basis. A donation of $30 or greater will result in a permanent rank. A donation of less than $30 will result in a temporary rank at a cost of $3/month. The Donator rank can be applied as a supplementary rank to Trusted+ players.
===Operator===
Operators is a rank given to staff members who deal with broader operational functions of the server. Operators are able to quickly deal with most situations that happen in-game. Operators can also review staff applications, set warps, and manage server projects and events.
===Senior Operator===
Senior Operator is the highest obtainable staff rank. Senior Operators are the most experienced and trusted staff members within the community. Senior Operators have access to almost all server commands and deal with managerial functions of the server. Senior Operators authorize and oversee server projects, write and revise server rules, manage the staff team, and resolve bigger issues both in-game and in the community.
===Administrator===
Administrator is the rank reserved for staff members who are responsible for keeping the community running. Administrators have complete access to all server and community systems, allowing them to maintain all Project City Build services. Promotions to Administrator are rare: including PCB's two founders, only nine people have ever held the rank, six of which remain active as of November 2020.
===Retired===
Retired is a rank given to staff members who have become inactive and remain on good terms with the rest of the team. Retired players have the same permissions as Trusteds, though they may also have access to WorldEdit if they held the permission while actively serving on the staff team.


==== Notable Additions from Trusted ====
Retired players can be reinstated to their previous staff rank if they demonstrate regular activity and express interest in contributing to the server again. Former staff members who have been demoted to Trusted must reapply for Moderator if they wish to serve on the staff team again.
* Coloured Nicknames


=== Moderator ===
=== Ancillary Staff Members ===
Moderator is the first obtainable staff rank which can be applied for via the website where positions are available. Asides from looking after the servers, this rank serves as a launching ground to higher staff ranks. Moderators have access to commands such as kicks, bans, rollbacks and block checking. Moderators are eligible to be promoted to Operator after a review period.
Ancillary staff members are players who are not active on the main server but still contribute to other Project City Build services, like the Feed The Beast server. At the moment, there is no distinction for ancillary staff members on the main server.


==== Notable Additions from Donator ====
==Classic Ranks==
* Basic moderation tools
The player rank hierarchy on the Classic server was based on building skill, rather than community involvement. Being early in Project City Build's and Minecraft's history, standards for promotion were much looser than what might pass today. The standards listed below should not be interpreted as a benchmark for build quality on the modern main server.
** Kick
** Ban
** Mute
* Logblock tools
* WorldEdit in [Big City]


=== Operator ===
With the exception of TraineeOP, Classic staff ranks are directly comparable to modern staff ranks in both name and function and therefore have been omitted from this list.
The Operator rank is awarded after a successful Moderator review. Operators are staff that maintain the peace within the community - thwarting griefing and resolving issues. Operators have access to a large range of server commands in addition to moderator's.


==== Notable Additions from Moderator ====
=== Initiate ===
* Setting warps
Initiate was the first building rank granted to players after Guest. To receive Initiate, players were only required to complete one simple build -- a house, a sculpture, a work of pixel art -- in the guestcity world. The rank was meant to serve as a layer of protection from griefing, much the same way that Member functions today.
* WorldEdit (for some staff, after showing knowledge of proper usage)


=== Senior Operator ===
===Builder===
The highest "obtainable" staff rank. Members with this rank are the most experienced and trusted within the community. Senior operators have access to almost all server commands. These players have great amount of ability on the server, both socially and technically and run most day to day operations.
Builder was the second building rank granted to players with reasonable building skill. To receive Builder, players were required to complete two or more builds that showed improvement from Initiate. Builders were expected to understand very basic building principles like scale and detail as they were understood in the Classic era.


==== Notable Additions from Operator ====
Builders were given access to and encouraged to build in the buildercity world. In limited special cases, Builders were able to appeal for a personal world.
* Full access to WorldEdit in all maps
===AdvBuilder===
* Access to most server commands
AdvBuilder was the third building rank granted to players with substantial building skill and a greater sense of aesthetics. To receive AdvBuilder, players were required to complete four or more builds that were larger or more detailed than those made for the Builder rank. Promotion to AdvBuilder required the approval of two different staff members.


=== Administrator (Admin) ===
AdvBuilders were given access to and encouraged to build in the advcity world as well as [[Monarch#Version 1|Classic's Big City]]. AdvBuilders were also given a personal 256x256-block world to build in. Once this map was filled, AdvBuilders were able to request a new one.
This rank is reserved for the players who are responsible for running the server and website. These players have complete access to all server and community systems and provide the primary funding for the operation of the community.
===ProBuilder===
ProBuilder was the fourth and final building rank granted to players who had demonstrated the greatest level of building skill on the server. There was no numeric threshold set to receive ProBuilder, but builds were expected to be grand and demonstrate a "wow factor". Promotion to ProBuilder required the approval of three different staff members.


===Retired===
ProBuilders were given up to three personal worlds to build in at a time. Once one of these maps was filled, ProBuilders were able to request a new one.
This rank is reserved for staff whom have became inactive. Staff with this rank retain most of their permissions but lack some to signify their inactivity.
 
=== TraineeOP ===
TraineeOP was the first staff rank on the Classic server. Like Moderator today, it served as a trial rank to introduce players to a staff role and determine whether they were fit to continue on the team.


== Archived Ranks ==
== Removed Ranks ==
The below ranks were previously used on Classic but are no longer available.
The following ranks were previously used on the main server and have since been decommissioned.


=== Builder ===
=== Guide ===
Assigned to players with reasonable building skill.
Guide was a rank that was meant to serve as a transition between player and staff member. It was introduced on 26 March 2016. Unlike all other by-nomination ranks, candidates for Guide were nominated exclusively by the community and voted on by everyone. Batches of three guides were promoted in three-month cycles, with four of these cycles occurring over the rank's lifetime. Guides were granted permission to convenience commands like /checkban, /seen, and /jail. Guides were intended to alleviate some of the duties of Moderator, but this ended up causing confusion about the boundaries of responsibility between the two ranks. On 17 March 2017, dissolution of the Guide program was officially announced, and the last batch of Guides were left to complete their terms. The rank was removed on 3 April 2017.


=== Adv. Builder ===
As of November 2020, seven of the eleven players who served as Guide have also served on the staff team, with three of those players reaching Senior Operator.
Assigned to players who proved to have exceptional building skill and/or a sense for aesthetics. Adv Builders were granted automatic access to build in Classic's [[Big City]] map.


=== Pro Builder ===
==== List of former Guides ====
Assigned to players who had the greatest level of building skill on the server. Pro Builders were allowed their own personal maps to build on.
