Regarding Assistant Permissions

Greetings and salutations to all who bothered clicking this (why are you people wasting time on anything I say?)

Background​

Anyone familiar with the order in which towns work knows that town ranks each have individual permissions.

-Mayors
Can do every current Towny command
-Co-Mayors
Every command except /t delete
-Recruiters
Can only do commands such as /t add
-Builder
Can edit terrain anywhere, but incapable of running most commands
-Assistant
Basically a combination of builder and recruiter, but can set plots for sale.
-VIP
No commands or ability to edit; only excluded from taxes.​

The Issue​

There is one problem with current Assistant permissions: they cannot unclaim any land. I understand this was probably done to keep rogue assistants from unclaimimg everything. But here is the thing: an Assistant can claim land, but not unclaim it.
Besides that, if you are promoting people to Assistant, you are already trusting them immensely, as they can raid your town vault and brief everywhere anyways (even if it is against server rules). I do not see how an Assistant can be trusted to claim land, set land for sale, have access to every chest without sign-shop protection (which they can get around anyways), and pretty much do anything except drain the town bank, but not be allowed to unclaim anything whatsoever.
Town staff must be people whom you can depend on. Sometimes they are the very core of any town. Unclaiming land may very well be part of their work.

Thank you for both the time taken to consider this, and any counter-arguements.

 

+1 Thread says it all

 

step 1, claim a ton of land 4 minutes before upkeep collection, step 2, leave a sign that says "sounds like your town had a crash landing."

 

Doesn't give the money to said assistant, was my point.

 

If an assistant wants to ruin your town they will do it without /t unclaim and they'll get banned for any illegal action. +1 why not

 

Thought of another instance in which assistant unclaim perms would be beneficial: raiding.

Adding said permissions would allow people to manage their own Towny raids completely without having the co-mayor rank. Kinda dumb they can claim the land for said raid, but have to get someone else to unclaim it.

 

If you want people to be able to unclaim land then simply promote them to co-mayor. This is denied.
