For some of the older more active groups out there the lack of additional security roles is starting to pitch the ability of groups to keep everyone happy.

I run a group where roles are determined off of statistics that players have accumulated in halo games.. To keep older members happy while attempting to attract new ones I have made a new set of roles that are reach specific while keeping some (but not all) of the halo 3 related ranks that we had.

So to make a long story short what I am asking for is an expansion of the available security roles from the current 15 to 20 or more.

Would you guys like more roles to be available in your private groups and why do you think there is a small limit to begin with?

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Then you are using security roles as a titling system and not for security.

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

I don't see what it could hurt.

Achronos, make this happen.

yes to be honest that is my intent. I only have 2 mod positions but other than that I look at security roles as a titling system.

People like having ranks that they can actually earn in the group and I was hoping I could give them more ranks to try to fill.

I, too, am curious about this.

Sorry, word filter...

Recon wrote "titling system", but I read it as if there were a space between the 2nd 't' and the 'l'.

Had to stop and think for a second. =)

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Personally, I would like to see the security roles trimmed to something even tighter but that there be a level that allows an admin to free text titles at the user account level (within the group).

For example, all non-admin titles within these forums are the same user security. Prefix, suffix, title bar color, all the same security level.

I am curious if the group admin function can be leveraged for in-group title customization or if a script (such as Coup) could be made to be "group aware" and allow a group-specific Coup that would be overseen by the group creator.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

A title system for goups would be a neat thing to have. Don't ya think?

I honestly think a title system would be pretty neat.

I think I get what your getting at but to see if I am understanding you correctly...

Say for example if a member of an imaginary group got 200 assault rifle kills there title would change to reflect something that the group owner set up to meet those criteria?

I do think so.

For example, using up a whole security role just so we could call one jerk "Miss Moderator" was.... oh wait. Awkward.

No, I am envisioning that the group creator would see 2 additional columns in the member list.

Member Title (and the admin could leave the default which matches their security level, or put in free text of their choosing)

Title Bar Color (where the admin could override the main forum title bar color with something specific and relevant to the group. If left alone, the user's normal title bar color would be in effect)

When you put it this way I agree I would like to see the security roles trimmed and there to be a title system added.

So if an admin meets the requirements of a specific rank it would look something like this

admin title = admin
100 Assault rifle kills = spray n pray

admin with 100 assault rifle kills = Admin, spray n pray.

It would be up to the admin to insert text and select color for the member. Not an automated system, but free text and a selectable menu for color.

That way, you could give a particular member a title of "Nancy Boy" just because they ticked you off.

Ok I follow you now. I like the idea of having things be relevant to the group so I am all for this idea.

Actually, coup would be far too complex a script for what you're describing.

All you'd need to do is search for the "ul" elements on the specific group forum that have "class='author_header_block'" for each user user you wish to customize. If the name matches your defined list of members with custom titles, change the innerHTML of the "li" element within that "ul" with "class='title'" to the new title.

You can similarly change title bar colors as well.

Of course, a nice GUI would be a necessity. Not my specialty.

Yes! I absolutly love this idea and this is exactly what I am going for.

Under the Knif3 you know what group I am talking about. Don't take it personally if you ever find "Nancy Boy" as your title =)


Recon 54 for president.
