This actually removes some stuff from asay and msay. The only place where admins and mods(/mentors/whatever) are distinct now is msay, and only in name: admins have their nick colored like their OOC chat (though this can be changed in stylesheet.dm). Also added the feedback thingy proc call and did some code cleanup.
Adds a config option MENTORS which sets the variable config.mods_are_mentors
Adds a rights level of R_MENTOR which gets msay, private message, aghost, notes, and a new proc for checking for new players (requires database support).
If the confic option for mentors is set then
the ckeys listed in moderators.txt file will instead be set as mentors, you can still make moderators by adding them in admins.txt
staffwho will show Mentors instead of Moderators as the heading above the listing of non-admins.
Also: Players now get a message gently reminding them to click the name of the staff member to reply instead of ahelping over and over.
Before, when making a link to an admin tool, you done this:
<a href='?src=\ref[C.holder];parameter=1;>link</a>
Now, we do not need to use a reference to direct it to places like usr or usr.client.holder (or client, but you never needed src for that anyway)
usr: <a href='?_src_=usr;parameter=1;>link</a>
holder: <a href='?_src_=holder;parameter=1;>link</a>
This basically allows us to move a LOT of code outside of loops as we no longer have to create a \ref for every recipient of the message. They can all be sent identical links. A simple example of this would be in pray.dm Although it's most noticeable in the adminhelp code which is vastly simplified.
Adminhelp name spotting code thingy...whatever... looks for ckey matches first, then surnames, then forenames. This is to stop it possibly weirding out if there is a station full of "Ed"s of "Sarah"s
Prayer code no longer loads a new icon into memory every time a prayer is sent. Use image() not icon()!
key_name() no longer needs a reference for it's admin_link argument.
message_admin() pretty much doesn't need those extra arguments for finding and replacing %holder_ref%. I've got to go through all the code to check before I remove it though.

SERVER HOSTS:
This commit replaces the existing admin-rank system. It is now more customizable.
Admin.txt essentially works the same as it always has. Each line should look like:
ckey - admin rank
There is now however, an admin_ranks.txt. This textfile allows you to define ranks like so:
admin rank +ADMIN +FUN +BUILD
the +KEYWORD are flags adding permissions to that rank. There are brief descriptions in the text-file explaining what they do.
You can now name the ranks anything you like, and give them the permissions you want them to have. This allows, for instance, ranks like:
Game Admin on disciplinary +ADMIN +BAN
This would give that game admin only the tools they need to admin. They would not have access to 'fun' verbs which control events and antags.
There's lots of things you can do. For instance, a coder rank whom can debug stuff but cannot do admin tasks:
Codermin +DEBUG +VAREDIT +SERVER
There's lots you can do. As it evolves it will hopefully become more flexible.
admin_ranks.txt defaults to use the old admin rank names.
Apologies in advance as there will be a lot of anomalies, such as ranks losing verbs they once had. Please let me know about any problems. I can fix them quite easily simply by moving verbs between the lists or splitting the lists up into new flags.
CODERS:
There is now a check_rights(flags) proc.
It check is usr is and admin and has -at least one of- the rights specified.
It checks > usr < not src, so keep that in mind!
If you need to check if something other than usr has specific tights, you can do if(holder.rights & R_ADMIN) etc.
KNOWN ISSUES:
+FUN probably needs to be split up into +MOBS and +EVENTS
In-game promotion/demotion is currently disabled. It will be readded after everything else works ok.
Erro's sql rights changes stuff is currently commented out. It will be re-added.
There are still many many verbs which need updating.
Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

>tried to make the comments less confusing.
>Removed the procs for rebuilding the lists (they weren't meant to be used and half were broken anyway).
>added a directory. It maps ckey to client like so directory[ckey] = client. It could be used for PMs, banning, and various other admin tools rather than using \ref[]
>var/list/admins is now a list of clients whom are admins.
>var/list/admin_datums is what var/list/admins used to be. A map from ckey -> admin datum
Most of this is so I can add modular admin ranks in a non-horrendous way and fix some existing issues.
>var/list/client_list is now var/list/clients (laziness sorry)
>removed some needless loops and stuff.
