Every member of the Covenant shall walk the path. None will be left behind when our Great Journey begins. That is the Prophets' age-old promise, and it shall be fulfilled!

Groups should be able to create their own theme.

The Security Role Editor cap should be raised.

There should be something like Facebook's page options, to where you can send messages to people and post as the group.

This is not a re-post, this is something different from statuses.

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

I beg to differ.

These ideas have been passed around for years. Achronos has seen your suggestions and we'll just have to wait and see if he implements any of them. Patience is a virtue.

Maybe but it might burden the site with every group uploading a different theme.
The Security Role Editor cap should be raised.Yeah.
There should be something like Facebook's page options, to where you can send messages to people and post as the group.I don't really like the idea of posting as a group. But I do like the idea of the group leader being able to mass pm everyone in the group.

Dicks. Dicks everywhere!

The Security Role Editor cap should be raised.I don't see how this is of major concern (coming from someone not active in any Private Groups). Explain to me why this is necessitated or desired.

There should be something like Facebook's page options, to where you can send messages to people and post as the group.I don't see why this would be helpful especially when the Admin is usually well-known by everyone in the P'Group so they can just make a thread in the group's forum.

This is not a re-post, this is something different from statuses.That doesn't mean you couldn't have made it all one thread instead of being obnoxious and making two.

Why is it whenever people bring up the topic of members having customizable options, they always assume it's going to be dicks.

Well, I guess they know what they'd do.


Also, what I meant by Facebook options is you can choose to post as yourself, or the group.

Because I know I would make my theme dicks. Wouldn't you?


Also, what I meant by Facebook options is you can choose to post as yourself, or the group.Okay, but why is this helpful if everyone knows who the Admin is when he posts?

Then why is this website even here?

No, again, just no. Why do you keep posting these?

Why do you need more than 15 member roles?

What would that be? I looked through your groups and found no such organization.

All counter-arguments to evolution are based on a gross misunderstanding of the theory.

While I admit private groups need a revamp to create more interest and drive more traffic to that portion of the site, custom themes are a no-no for the same reason as custom avatars.

Plus, how do you manage to use all those security roles?

Coup group, 6400 members at the moment.

Then again I haven't looked around in awhile, other groups may have grown larger.

Oh, I was just looking at ones you'd founded.

OT: Wait, there's 15 member security roles and you need more? Are you setting up a military-grade ranking system or some -blam!-?

My bad anyways, Forge world and Spartan I Project are still bigger.

Third biggest group I guess.

Some people get custom titles.

And it is not interesting when there's only four ranks.

Also, if you say there shouldn't be custom themes because of abuse, you're dismissing the fact that every post could be abused, and don't forget coup.

It clearly isn't boring for most people as I don't see complaints about it ever in the community forum (barring yours).

And yes, posts can be and are abused, but pictures are exceedingly worse. We can have a line of code to easily censor offensive words, this is not nearly as true for pictures, if at all.
