I don't see why staff need boots and "Staff AP."
On Classic PC, I rarely use boots because I can just warp, and I only use God Mode if I'm in a level with monsters while I'm working.
In fact, we don't even give FAQS staff tools because they are supposed to be answering questions, not running around with staff boots. And, when staff members are not on tag, they cannot even use stall tools. Being on places players cannot get to, like on trees, buildings or cliffs, is also frowned upon.
The way iClassic handles its staff is just asking for them to abuse their powers. You cannot trust every 15-year-old to be able to handle the responsibility to uphold an image of professionalism when the goal of the game is to have as many hats as possible to show off to your friends. Not to mention that there are thousands of players constantly bitching at them for any reason.
How can abuse be prevented (to a point)? Only give staff tools to staff who need them. Only allow staff tools to be used on tag. Log the actions staff members. (time, level, and to whom drag was used on for example)
It's clear that the conduct and integrity of staff members was not in thought when the iPhone servers were in development, but maybe now is the time to look into it and do something about it.
