In our control panel it mentions Usersgroups people can apply to join. Now obviously Sponsors is for people who have donated to CR. but whats 'Special Rights'?

I'm playing around with disabling posting flash files and uploading files and restricting those to people we can trust. There are some ways those features can be abused in the bad sense. But I haven't managed to rig the permissions correctly yet, so it's useless for the time being.

I see. In that case, what sort of people can you trust? Have you any criteria for it? :)

None at this point, still haven't figured out how to get it to work, and considering I've got some more important things to fix on the forums, such as seeing the last post topic, this will be lower on the priority list.

Hm... member permissions trouble? I've only used phpBB once, so I can't help. I don't think it's a function by default, so you might need to meddle with the source.

I suppose it could be based upon post count...or perhaps a points system of some kind could be implemented. I think I'll turn off flash in my settings anyway though. >_>

I wouldn't recommend letting people have that on post count.

Post count doesn't matter, because they could all be useless one-liners that have nothing to do with the topic.

^yeah, it should be based on a combination of post count AND total hours/days on the forum.

Or maybe if they actually know someone's dedicated to the forum, then they get it. I dunno.

Post count will most likely never earn you any privilege on this board, just fyi.

I only said that because that's basically all it could be based on right now.

Since we (oddly) don't have a moderation system involving points, it can't be based on good behaviour...

I've only seen that kind of system on one single board. And it didn't work all that well. Gregory

Honestly, post counts mean very little - it should be quality over quantity. The whole "point" system is going to be subjective - what do you have to do in order to earn them? And I think it might become chaotic when someone goes out of his way in order to earn these points to gain "special rights"... Not a good idea, IMO...

lyke omigawd boobiez.

I saw the point thing implemented on a forum I left to come to this one..x3 It....worked but people spammed to get points for whatever privledges were offered. So...then they decided on what were called "gold points" <strike> to people who were ass-kissers</strike> to poeple they deemed "worthy". I still haven't seen that implemented there >>;
They also did a member of the month thing, which I thought was just stupid. Seeing how the mods picked people from their little clique...<strike> well. they did talk about everyone behind their backs anyway...</strike>
What I'm trying to say is.....

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!

I was thinking more of a system where people lose points/privileges if they don't stick to the rules...since at the moment people don't seem to be punished for anything, and if they are, they would be banned. :|

It just seems weird that there are only states of being normal or banned, so people have no incentive to stick to the rules as they know nothing will happen unless they do something really bad.

It doesn't really matter here, as the community is pretty small, so there aren't many troublemakers...
