Annabelle Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 [hide=Usergroups][hide=What is a Usergroup?]Usergroups are a way in which board administrators can group users. Each user can belong to several groups (this differs from most other boards) and each group can be assigned individual access rights. This makes it easy for administrators to set up several users as moderators of a forum, or to give them access to a private forum, etc[/hide] [hide=Benefits]ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃââThis could give a "Moderators Lounge" to the hard-working mods. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃââCould help the ranks system, such as...Remember, these ranks show quantity, not quality 1-25 Chicken Feather 26-50 Rat Meat 51-75 Spider Egg 76-150 Goblin Armour 151-250 Unicorn Horn 251-500 Bear Fur 501-750 Scorpion Pit 751-1000 Dark Wizard Robe 1001-1250 Skeleton Shield 1251-1500 Varrock Guard 1501-1750 Hobgoblin Killer 1751-2000 Ghost Cloak 2001-2500 Demon Vanquisher 2501-3000 Moss Giant Whipper 3001-3500 Black Knight Trainer 3501-5000 Ice Giant Melter 5001-10000 Dragon Slayer 10001+ Troll General ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃââTip.It Admins + Crew can assign moderators to different usergroups. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃââIt would be easier for the Admins to group their loyal members. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃââMembers of Tip.It can enjoy their friends that are the same rank as them. This concludes the benefits... what do you think? [/hide] All suggestions and criticism are welcome![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think they are the fine as they are now, and I think you should go back at least 5 pages before you post something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alina Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think they are the fine as they are now, and I think you should go back at least 5 pages before you post something.Correct, Also Usergroups is a feature on Tip.It already now. So, If it's there, It meens Tip.It may be working on it. And If they have the reason to, they will. ~Alina ~Tip.It's #1 Party Girl & Events Team Supporter~Next TET Event: A Holy Pilgrimage!Next TET AU Event: Zamorak Strikes Back Part 1!PM me if you need any help with an event.

Errdoth Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 IIRC, there are already several groups/boards, and all of the groups/special boards are hidden, to keep annoying kids like me out, or whoever is not in them out =P Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sith Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think it is an interesting idea, having people grouped based on their rank (which is assigned based on post count). I'm not sure how many people would notice it, however. Very few people notice the buttons on the top of the forum. Using usergroups as part of the administration of this forum is something that is done, yes. But many of these usergroups are hidden/private so people don't normally see them. Anyways, maybe suggest some more specific ideas regarding usergroups and/or private/premium boards associated with those usergroups? I would find those to be an interesting idea to pursue. Still, don't get discouraged if your ideas do not get a great response.. know that people do appreciate you posting them! And even some of the suggestions that get nothing but negative responses get implemented and turn out to do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchainmail Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (To any mods, if I am saying something I shouldn't, feel free to edit) Tip.it does use usergroups for permissions/moderator powers, etc. I have no idea if there are any other groups. Basically, almost all of what has been said in this thread is already at work behind the scenes. I would caution against adding new forums because most clans already have their own, separate forums and more forums mean more moderation. Even a private forum is still accessible to the admins, so it's not truely secret. Also, more forums will lengthen the page more for the admins.

jemathonical Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 It would be hard to moderate all these forums though. Mods already have enough on their plates let alone dealing with a usergroup with lots of people joining in and all that. Plus if we give some people mod powers in the usergroup subforums they could delete everything. Then that would bring up the problem of who would be a good mod, which is more work. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think it is an interesting idea, having people grouped based on their rank Just as long as I don't have to mod the chicken feather group :wink: A usergroup forum full of repeat posts and keylogger links. Closest thing a mod will experience to heaven if you ask me. :P Anyway its an interesting idea that's been raised in the past even by me (but not to the degree your stating). I wouldn't mind the opportunity for a few established members of TIF's being able to have a usergroup just for them. Though from what I've heard there's already been one established by Forsaken many an age ago, yet I'm still waiting for the invitation to join that private usergroup. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Anything regarding the Rank System is just a blatent advertisement for spamming, in my honest opinion. I haven't really got a comment on the actual focus of this topic, but if it involves a rank system... no. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's realy a need for it to be one. ~Alina ~Tip.It's #1 Party Girl & Events Team Supporter~Next TET Event: A Holy Pilgrimage!Next TET AU Event: Zamorak Strikes Back Part 1!PM me if you need any help with an event.
