Clan Support Update

[Alina]

I may not be one of the admins but I can definitely pop in here and say that we will not be giving moderator powers to clan leaders just because they are one, even if it is for the clan board.

 

 

 

All of the moderators that are picked are picked because we trust them. If we were to apply this process to a clan board, then some clans may claim that we favor some clans over another. Also, there would really be nothing stopping one of these leaders from going in and terrorizing the topic of another clan.

 

 

 

By keeping all moderator functions restricted to a group that we can control, it makes it much easier on us.

 

 

 

You make a good point. Perhaps we should just allow the moderators already present to have moderator powers after all. Such as: Global Moderators, Administrators, Super Moderators and Clan Moderators.

 

But some Moderators, and Admins may not be interested in the clan based forums. Perhaps if it does become a part of Tip.It, Give the clan moderators the ability to moderate the forums? Then, Ask if any other current moderators would like to. : Or anything else like this?

Let's keep this simple. Please. People jumping all over the idea of giving random users moderator powers makes discussions like these stagnate and the Staff will lose interest.

 

 

 

In one sentence, describe your UNIQUE, original idea that will bring clan traffic to the Tip.it forums.

 

 

 

From what I've seen so far, the idea is to give clan leaders a private board to discuss things together - yes or no? The idea about who will moderate it is something for the Staff to decide. There shouldn't be any need for moderation - let them figure out things themselves. Unless people post a keylogger in there, leave them alone.

 

 

 

So... a private board catering to clan leaders. Anything else?

Clan Admin would be one of the greatest things that could ever happen to our Clan Section IMO.

I'm thinking that you should only give trusted members moderator powers perhaps. The staff can make the final decision I suppose.

 

 

 

Clans will see it and will want to become a part of it. Therefore, more activity.

 

 

 

I'm thinking that you should give clan staff a private board to discuss things together. Adding to what I said above, I think that the clan moderators and global moderators and super moderators should get access to moderate it. They won't be obliged to do so however, they will just have the ability to so. They are also a neutral party, so they can make decisions without a lot of bias, if none at all.

 

 

 

That's the only suggestion I have for now.

Well, you can make the permissions so that the clan leaders have certain Mod powers, but won't appear as Mods, so its like a private Mod. That way they can organize their own clan with announcements or stickies.

First see then believe my friend.

[The Observer]

Bump.

[Gamerr]

Bump.

 

 

 

Why you bumping? Not that it's gonna help, nothing will ever change around here.

[Dbzruler72]

Actually, we have two major projects that are being worked on very heavily & swiftly. It's finally starting to look good for usÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

[The_Sith]

You don't need to be THAT pessimistic, Gamerr. It is important for people to keep threads like these alive, however, so staff post a response. Part of the reason this board exists is for staff to communicate with users about possible board updates - not just a dumping ground for ideas that never get any comments.

 

 

 

Not to stir the pot any... but one can make the assumption (however incorrect it may be) that this issue simply isn't that important to the staff right now. If it was, people would be actively posting here and gathering input. That or providing more details/assurance that things are progressing ahead.

[Dbzruler72]

I can understand that our clan sections aren't the single issue the staff must concentrate on. They've got tons of other work they need to be doing, but they do shed some light on the clan aspect.

Locking on request.
