You know, I really dislike when people say this is cheating.
Say you have a server up, right?
And you play with your friends for 30 minutes, and everybody has decent powerlevel.
A random crash happens, and everyone's back to 0.
Allowing the -server- to change everyone's PL, or raise everyone's by a certain amount, etc.. wouldn't be CHEATING. You're in their server, and they decide the rules and settings.
He asked if there's a way to change the setting, and as there isn't, that's the end. But it's not "cheating" unless you're raising your own only, and not in your own server. Your server, your settings.
Understand?
