Hey Bungie.net, after recently acquiring an admin rank on a private group i am a part of, i quickly learned some tasks can be pretty difficult so i have decided to make an Admin 101 where some of you questions can be answered (you can always PM me for a specific question)

here are some helpful tips for all admins

First Tip: Changing rank

First off, admins can -not- change their own tags -unless- they are the group owner. Here are the steps: go into the members tab/Edit (next to name of desired person)/ select the bubble corresponding to the tag or rank you wish to assign someone/ Save changes.

Second Tip: Adding and editing role/rank

To edit a role/rank or to create a new one, simply go into the Admin tools tab/security role editor(third link from top)/click on create to create or modify to modify.This can be done by -anyone- but there is a limit of 15 separate ranks, however you can always change them.


*A note to all admins*
It is recommended that you consult other admins before blacklisting, banning, or deleting threads and posts as this is and irreversible action.

Thanks to Cryptic for this helpful link

Any other tips that are posted will make there way into the OP. The tips i have included -are- simple gestures but i hope they made your time as an admin of a private group that much easier, thanks

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

As the cofounder of TFS and the other admin of the group, I can say it may be confusing at first, but not even after an hour of having the options available to you is it a problem to do things.

B.net has done a fantastic job in leaving everything in clear view and easy to understand. I don't think this is necessary, but I guess some people might find it useful.

I can see were it could be useful to newer users, but I don't see it as a necessity, as it's fairly easy to understand the admin tools and such after a while.

will there be a final exam at the end of the semester Professor?

OT: Pretty helpful but you might want to include some tips on managing unruly members in an open membership group and drafting rules for a group as well.

It is recommended that you consult other admins before blacklisting, banning, or deleting threads and posts as this is and irreversible action.Or just make yourself the only admin. That way, you only have to consult yourself!

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I messed around in a private group once, I could never quite figure it out though. I'm sure this guide would have been helpful.

It probably will be and some person will link to this long after it's locked.
