What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?
Discord
What is your suggestion and how will it work?
Raise the permissions for kicking players from the Discord server to above Techie.
What are the advantages of your suggestion?
Let's think of why we need Techies in the first place; they are the Moderator counterpart for Map Build.
Just because Techies can use /kick on MB doesn't mean they should be able to on Discord. It is incredibly easy for anyone to rejoin after being kicked on MB.
Rejoining on Discord however, is not as simple. People who have been unfairly kicked need to retrieve the discord link and also need to be verified by staff. This could be extremely problematic depending on the timezone as there might not be available staff. People with the Rank of Respected have been kicked from Discord and have had to be repromoted because they were kicked. This creates so much hassle that could be easily avoided if we raised the permission to kick to a higher rank.
There are many advantages:
1) Communication Techies who usually aren't experienced will be able to create a channel of communication with staff.
2) Experience This communication will give Techies valuable insight into when kicking a player from discord is warranted.
3) Rational Thinking This will help Technicians to think rationally. Instead of impulsively kicking multiple players for little to no reason, Technicians will have to talk to other staff and get a second opinion.
4) Decreases Bias Biases will be significantly decreased as Technicians won't be able to kick players purely based on dislike of them.
5) Decreases Abuse Techies won't be able to abuse their powers to kick multiple players for no reason.
What are the disadvantages of your suggestion?
Technicians would have to contact a higher rank to kick players, which they should be doing already.
