The short version: members vote, leaders decide. Almost everything on MESH runs on squad voting, and leaders and co-leaders have override and admin powers to keep things moving.

Everyone (members, co-leaders, leaders)

• Vote on draft picks, lineups, waivers, and trades
• Suggest a trade
• Buy mascot items in the shop
• Send taunts (if you voted your lineup that week — see Animations, Taunts & Memes)

Leaders and co-leaders only

• Enter the squad into leagues
• Confirm draft picks early / switch draft mode (vote mode vs. immediate pick mode)
• Override the voted lineup
• Submit waiver claims and make instant free-agent adds (member votes are advisory — a leader has to make the move)
• Set the trade voting threshold
• Veto pending trades (while voting is open), accept trades directly in admin mode, and cancel sent trades
• Edit squad settings, refresh the squad code
• Change the mascot (or grant that permission to a member — see Mascots)

Leader only

• Promote members to co-leader
• Demote co-leaders back to member

How it plays out by feature

The Draft — everyone votes on the next pick, votes visible live. When the clock runs out, the top-voted player is selected. Leaders can confirm the pick early to keep the draft moving, or switch to immediate pick mode. Full details in The Draft.
