Here are some of my ideas for changing the private groups. Many of them have been mentioned before. Please feel free to point out the flaws in my ideas.

(1) PM all members button: Give administrators the abitlity to PM all members in a group. If a group has hundreds of members, then this functon would be helpful.

(2) Give group admins and moderators text colors similar to the text of Bungie admins and mods.

(3) Group banner: Let the admins of groups post a group banner. If a group abuses the privilige, then take away their ability to post one.

(4) Expand the number of group themes available for groups.

(5) Make group articles on the main page more visible and let readers respond to them. They should be similar to how Bungie articles look on the Bungie main page.

(6) Make it easier for admins to link other groups in the homepage.

(7) Give admins more customizable options for groups. For example, allow admins to change the text and background colors of a group.

(8) Spotlight groups on the Bungie main page. This would draw more attention to them. Each week spotlight a different group and include a link to the group.

(9) Make group resource sections more visible to group members.

(10) Give group members more options for using text codes.

(11) Search feature in group forums.

(12) Pimps@Sea and Mister Chief themes

********

I would like a member online/offline feature, but I would prefer to see it for all of Bungie.net and not just groups.

Most group chatrooms become inactive. I am not opposed to the idea, but I don't know how much it will help.

Weren't these all mentioned in a larger thread by FxT_Redwolf? But yes, I want these. And a group chat, whether or not it's useful for everybody.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Nice, I totaly agree with everyone of your ideas 100%.

Oh right. Now that I think about it, there were some ideas in his thread that I didn't like. Oh well, I want all of these.

Groups COULD have more security role slots. Change it from 15 to like 20?

Fifteen wasn't enough for you? I would be content with seven. Come to think of it, I have never seen any group utilise all fifteen security roles. At least, not well.

These are all great ideas that I too want in the groups after they're done. Do you have any idea how much time it takes to PM every member in your group to tell them that something will happen in the group or something else?

the color text and PM all members options would be a nice additon for administrators

I would like the ability to select multiple users for pm's outside of groups as well. I also a fan of the admin text color idea.

I hope they're back soon...

i agree with most. besides, if u really need chat more than threads, just use an instant message system or Google Chat. I tried having a Google Chat thing with my groups, but it never got used. i don't care about chat anymore.

as for the rest, i agree. and yes, i read them all. i would like more security roles, i used all mine pretty fast, although not very effeciently. i'd still like more, for bigger groups they'd come very much in handy. or perhaps sub-ranks. ranks within ranks. and articles and news should be blended. their pretty much no different, other than articles are usually linked as 'pages' to the group description on the front page.

Having your own banner to me is a very bad Idea for obvious reasons, also that would remove all the specialness of Themes.

The banner idea is just a way to make groups more unique. I know it has a lot of problems, and I doubt Bungie will ever allow it.

I, like many others, love the ideas, nate. Many have been mentioned before, and some are new. I like them. I just hope Achronos listens.

When you have a group with over 1000 members, more than 15 ranks can be used. Especialy when your group is just a branch of your community. Even if your group only had, say, 50 members, you could still use the ranks for individual jobs (which I object to), like news poster etc..

Well, submitting adult content is one, but it could be strictly watched, and any member that abuses it should be perma-banned and their group should be deleted.

I agree. Deleting someone's group would send a very strong message. Furthermore, the posting of pictures could be limited to certain ranks within a group. Only someone with a lot of trust would have the ability.
