Section 11: Administration Subject: Staff Flags Msg# 769406

Having flags for each area of a forum seems like an administrative headache to me, but maybe I've got a vivid imagination. Setting user flags is really fast and and easy--once we've hashed out what they are, you decide what duties you want your assistants to have and assign the flags. It takes about a minute. And it can be changed just as quickly if duties change or people go. |

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. |
