Title: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-03 20:55:53
Hi all we may be thinking about making a name change to the member group if we did do this what would you like. Example: "Contributing artist" basically you decide.

P.S. Sorry if this is not the area to post this.

So what do you mean? 

Like member groups for artists and writers? 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-03 21:43:19
At the moment it's just a name change to your current member status, but if you would like a separate group for artists and writers Darrin and smiles could do it if agreed.

Oh okay.  So right now I am a "Prolific Member."  Would it change that or be something added to that status that is gained by posting a certain amount?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-03 21:48:52
Yes your "Prolific Member" would change to the new name that you lot would like.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-09-03 21:56:11
So how many member groups would we need to come up with?  This idea has potential, but you need a groundwork and basis.  You pretty much came up with an idea and just left it completely open with no basis to work off of.
Title: Re: Member Groups

It's suggestions at the moment it's just a simple name change to your "Prolific member" status.

And sorry I didn't elaborate I'm new to posting this stuff @Darrin @Smiles2us little help please I'm useless at this.

I personally have no err with our current member rankings, but I think they need to add more since people are already meeting and exceedingly the posting counts. 
Title: Re: Member Groups

You got this Umbreon.  Got to be a leader. :)  Have confidence in yourself. 

Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-09-03 22:20:22
Again, this idea has potential. :D
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-03 22:25:55
We are open to suggestions as well all of them will be taken into account.

I think there can be sub groups for people who want to be writers or artists... but where it gets tricky is if the person is a writer and an artist?  Who do we deem artists?  What if someone considers themselves an artist, but draws stick figures out of cow dung and only contributed once? Do we allow that?  Who determines this? 

What is much easier is our current system of ranking based on posts.  I think this can be reworked to have more rankings. Certain high level rankings can unlock stuff too.  If you want to get people to post, you can "lock" the art and writers boards and force them to make an intro thread or post 5-10 posts, etc.  It is really up to what people like.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-04 23:39:18
Alright so what rankings would you suggest?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-09-05 14:51:36
Need a few low rankings, a few mid, and some high ones to achieve for. 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Kiwi on 2017-09-06 22:38:13
Interesting idea.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-11 00:59:58
Does seem like a good idea, Anyone got anymore suggestions?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: RainySunshine on 2017-09-12 01:00:10
Are they even able to allow us to change our titles? 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-12 06:59:10
Currently I don't think so or even if it's possible. @Darrin Or is it?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-09-12 10:47:41
It was possible on PSF 1.0.  We can manually change it as administrators, but I don't think the users can set their own unless they ask us to change it for them. @Umbreon
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-12 11:11:53
Ah right thanks for clearing that up. :)
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Grapefoot on 2017-09-12 11:12:50
So they can change it for us if we ask and if this idea is what people want.

For example... what would you change yours too, Umreon?  I see you have Pika Pika...
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-12 11:23:38
Oh I'm not sure.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-09-12 16:27:17
If everyone has different member group names... what is the point of a member group?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-12 16:50:44
I can see your point I think this discussion has come to an end.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-09-13 18:22:32
So was this just to be a fun way of customizing our profiles and take away the current post=rank name system?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Smiles2us on 2017-09-23 00:15:23
So if you all want to come to some consensus on the goals here you all want, lets hear them.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-24 18:53:51
Any opinions so we can come to some conclusion.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-09-24 20:08:24
^ I think that is your job now Umbreon.  You posed the question, you got our feedback. 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Soda on 2017-09-24 21:28:12
Yeah. I think so. 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-24 21:30:47
Ok I see what can be done thanks for the feedback. :)
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Soda on 2017-09-24 21:33:43
Super!  Thanks!
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-25 14:52:33
So here are the ideas I came up with based on your feedback.  What interests you as PSF members the most?

1) Member group for artists and writers (what criteria needed to gain this.)
2) Add more member rankings as current member ranks exceeded.
3) Rankings could have some low, mid, high tier ranks to achieve for.
4) Maybe see about allowing standard members to have custom titles if possible.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Soda on 2017-09-25 20:49:59
The tiers might be interesting.  More rankings since many have already reached the top levels.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-09-26 20:15:39
Not to burst the bubble of this whole thing, but people can already customize their title.  The standard is "PSF Member" but you are given the option to change it to anything you want within site rules.  Do not confuse this with the site rankings, which are different.

You can make your own personal title, but there is set member rankings, which I think we could use more of them.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Grapefoot on 2017-09-27 12:00:38
So we can already change our title if we want to be a "Writer" or "kangaroo" or whatever.

So what exactly are we changing here?  The ranking system names?
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-09-27 21:45:19
Yes the ranking system will be modified.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-09-28 18:50:31
I'm fine with a ranking system having some new stuff added, but it is really one of the least things I think about.  So I don't really care too much.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Darrin on 2017-09-30 10:18:20
Feedback folks.
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-09-30 18:58:15
Just some more rankings I guess. 
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-10-02 12:51:55
Okay. :)
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-10-02 14:02:53
I think more rankings would be fun. :)
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Umbreon on 2017-10-04 12:46:29
Alright cool :)
Title: Re: Member Groups
Post by: Darrin on 2017-10-04 14:16:25
Does anyone have ideas for ranking names?  Any theme you want us to follow?
