Far as I’m aware, it’s more of a:  
“Every other mod can no longer stand your presence. And we are collectively running you out of the pillow fort.”
 
Kind of deal~
 
Though I’m also fairly certain the admins can do whatever the hell they please.
 
And the Devs own us all since I’m pretty sure they could literally pick up the servers and run off with them~

Have you guys considered giving non-staff those bar thingies with titles? Just for fun. Like for example I could be the team’s cook and if ever I disappointed you guys with one of my gourmet meals you could fire me.

The rankings are somewhat informal. Most staff changes involve a vote of all the mods who are online at the time. It’s pretty rare for someone to get fired, I think it’s only happened twice since I became staff on this site (to my recall).
 
There are a few mods who have the ability to change user roles/permissions, essentially giving them the ability to promote/demote/fire other staff. A few have it in case of an emergency or other reasonable need, and a few devs have it for test purposes.

Now let’s be positive: which is your favourite episode and/or season?
Last Roundup.
 
As for season, honestly I feel like the newer ones are better.
 
 
@ice1517  
Thoughts on Starlight Glimmer?
Which one? S05 Glimmer was an amazing character and the show’s best villain, but an awful person. S06 Glimmer is “nice” and not a bad person, but something about her character is wrong. I loathe what they did to turn S05 Glimmer into S06 Glimmer.
 
 
@CyanLightning  
Bisakah anda berbicara dalam bahasa ibumu?
Translation : Can you speak in your native language?
Sí.
 
 
@ArkyNoid  
What would you do if you could turn invisible?
Wrestle with mimes.
 
But seriously, I guess a few high value vigilante actions, then do some “steal from the rich and give to myself” things.
 
 
@ArkyNoid  
@LightningBolt
Also, what’s the longest any of you have been without electricity?
 
Outside of being out in the wilderness or Texas, I guess 2 days.
 
@PaskaNaakka  
What should i draw next?
Shroomsie!
 
 
@pixel  
Not really.
 
 
@ice1517  
Any of the mods religious?
Not me.
 
 
@SonGokuMonkey  
Has a mod ever been fired?
Yes, one mod, two assistants. Mod for being a shit to artists and people in general, assistant one for being an obnoxious twat, assistant two for going on a personal tag implication crusade without speaking to anyone that lead to incorrectly applied tags and tag contamination.
 
 
@ArkyNoid  
On that note is there a rank system? Like can an admin fire a mod, and a mod fire an assistant?
Staffing decisions are up to admins; practically everything staffing related is discussed with moderators. There’s not much of a hierarchy other than that; it’s more of a split on what people are willing to do or feel they want to end up responsible for, plus some splits to keep decision making simpler and avoid too many people making conflicting actions.

I think there may be a few that have one. It’s not really a strict thing.
 
 
@pixel  
Who is best pet? (On MLP not IRL)
Angel. Well, he’s a shit, but he’s amusing on the show.
 
 
@Pacific Glow  
Did you ever get annoyed by your parents?
Not to any serious degree.
