Because that's how running a business works right? So if i go down the street and break in take over the store would i be considered the new owner/manager? Oh wait no- because THE LAW
That's not how it works kids, you can't "revolt against the manager" and "take over the server". If you somehow did hack the manager/server, all that would happen is the server get's taken down, the managers account gets locked - Unixmad/Stephane would probably contact the police if any actual damage was done. What do you actually think would happen?
Step 2: Hiring only development because the game doesn't need rules!
Okay, so this is a fun one - why does a game need rules? Why do we need people enforcing them?
The game needs rules kids because it's 'rated' towards a specific age range. The game is rated at what- 12+ i think? If there were no rules or social policies for the game it would never make it on any platform other than PC. It would not get approved for the app store or the google play store and probably not Facebook. Each game has to be looked over by apple before getting approved- at least iEra did. Now, iEra might've got approved on content alone and it might've made it to the store- for about a month.
What would happen when Apple, a facebook employee, or a google employee has an inspection to make sure the game is still okay to be on the store and there's no rules? It get's taken down or get's it rating pushed somewhere north of 15+. Some other servers have flirted with this for instance some servers have the swearing filter as optional- but as far as i know that's not something iera is interested in doing. If the game's rating was pushed up - Toonslab would force the staff team to implement rules and policies to reduce the games rating to the one it wants the server to have.
Rules aside, if the server is only development staff and there's nobody around to help players in game or offer assistance through support tickets not many players would hang around once they have a problem and realise there's nobody around to help. The games playerbase would stagnate and be almost non-existant if there was no player assistance and no rules.

Every time some edgy child thinks they're being revolutionary by claiming "we don't need prs, only development" or "someone get rid of the manager, the players can manage" i laugh, your ignorance is showing.
