Section 11: Administration Subject: Staff Flags Msg# 769397

There is something to be said for simplicity. We can probably work out a good set of admin powers for each of the current flags. As for Books, I don't expect much to go on there unless some users are directed to the location or someone starts seeding messages. Talk to Alex and see if he wants to get something going, perhaps more along discussion to reading books as opposed to writing. You could use the synergy between the two forums to get Books here busy, and perhaps in a way that would not take away from the the old cis forum on Netscape (what the heck is Netscape PS - I can change the code so the VIP section name can be changed. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I hope some of the flags aren't mutually exclusive. I can see a Host having need for an Editor flag, for example. Not sure why you have two separate flags in this case. Yes, I think we need to keep a private section for users, whether you call it VIP or allow us to rename the section. It came in very handy in Books for our Writers Workshop, where works-in-progress had to be kept out of the public eye for legal reasons (copyright and first publication). Having flags for each area of a forum seems like an administrative headache to me, but maybe I've got a vivid imagination. And I'll definitely have to keep my Wizop flag, since Alex hasn't been here since 2008 (last I checked) and I'm effectively the forum manager. Not much to manage these days, but there you have it. |
