Yeah, I agree with you— any random hacker could just cheat his way into buying merchant rank, and then just make nice-nice with a GH0ST. So I suppose that perhaps they must be at least mod to get it, unless they are reeeaaallly trusted, like you said.
And about only admins being able to vote on it.... I was thinking of GH0ST rank being a rank that the entire staff could vote on. To become a mod, one must have the trust of an admin—so if a player gets mod rank, than their say is worth just as much as an admin's. Also, just as Viper must have the final say to a player becoming a mod or an artisan, so must a GH0ST have the final say to someone else getting this title.
Also, my only reply to the "secret rank" bit is "YES."
