Usergroups

General Ceyrox · Usergroups

Well, everyday I look up there, and I see that link mocking me. Well, maybe we can organize some! I remember the old forum had the heavy assult team. That could be a group. For those of you who don't know, a usergroup gets a bunch of members to be a part of it (it can be open or invite only) and you give that entire group moderating powers, instead of just giving to individuals. It also has leaders. It probably has other uses too. How 'bout it?

Dread Abyss

Maybe, I see no harm in it.

General Ceyrox

Come on... more people post your opinions. EM? Storms? Maybe Bondage, Gort, or Kaen? Bane even!? Come on!

Dread Abyss

I'm not good enough for you? Is that it? Huh!? IS THAT IT!?

Anyways, no one has been on besides me since you made the topic.

General Ceyrox

THAT IS IT ABYSS! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

Dread Abyss

Yes, in fact I do.

That's why I have knives.

General Ceyrox

Well I have guns, so ha!

NS_Venom

Depends.........We, I mean Storms and I, will need to talk about it. However, I do recall saying that we didn't have enough people, and were going to do it when we had more members.

Baron Loki

I think it's a good idea.

Besides, I have BANANAS!

Lord Duality

Interesting. I think that we didn't use them on the other site because there wasn't much of a need. We have a small amount of members so I don't think we need one. But who knows, it might be fun.....

Dread Abyss

Yeah, it doesn't really have a purpose, but it's not bad. If EM and Storms approve...

Lord Kaen

I find the usergroups helpful. On the two sites I help run, it keeps the members neat and organized, and has the users remember their place. It also works greatly for mass-delivery PMs.

Dread Abyss

Good point. Mass-delivery Personal Messages are useful.

General Ceyrox

How do you mass-deliver PMs?

Lord Storms

Admin panel, usergroups.

I think that it's an interesting idea, but... EM said that we were going to stop being an empire and start being a place that helps others train...

However, seeing as how that didn't work out, I'm all for usergroups.

Colonel Banryx

Other people train what?

Dread Abyss

Train people on games like Pokemon, Sonic, or Metroid. However, now that we're the Oceanic Empire it's a feasible idea. We just gotta get EM's approval.

Colonel Banryx

Ya know, I'm not an admin, just a member, but it doesn't really sound like a great idea to me. I mean, how can we teach them what they don't already know from the internet? I do not approve.

Dread Abyss

We tell them tricks we've learned from experience. Other than that, I'm not too sure. Anyways, it's already been scrapped.

General Ceyrox

And we have a whole forum based around that? Not enough experience learned tricks to make a whole forum about.

Lord Storms

We did have a forum (this one) based around that. The change was the original reason why the old one was replaced. However, as we've said a million times already, the idea has been scrapped.

Lord Kaen

Actually you only said it
...

about...

8 times?

Dread Abyss

So, Storms, would you like usergroups? Because I'd be fine with them.

General Ceyrox

As would I.
Not that anyone would listen...

Colonel Banryx

Sure, I wouldn't care. It'd be fun thinking of some groups...

Dread Abyss

The Tickle Trio for Foremicoh, Gravemind, and Gort could be fun. It would cause for some role play and gang wars in the forum, so I'm definately supporting it.

Colonel Banryx

Hm... I have another name for Foremicoh's group in mind.

Lord Kaen

I'd say 3-4 groups at the most. Though...

Dread Abyss

See? We're already having fun with the idea. That'll change your negative opinion on usergroups!

Colonel Banryx

Who has the negative opinion?

Dread Abyss

The...

... Nobody apparently.

Baron Loki

... I'll be part of the...

I dunno.

Lord Storms

I'm supportive. Once we get more members, we'll have to reorganize them, however.

General Ceyrox

Well, we'll get to that when we need it. I suggest The Gaurdians as a group name.

Lord Storms

If you spell it right, then I'll agree.

I think that there should be five groups:

Nobles
Guardians
Knights
Hunters
Gortists

Lord Duality

Storms, those are just ranks assembled into an orderly fashion and being suggested for a usergroup.

Lord Storms

They weren't meant to be...

Nobles: EM, EH, and all Lords.
Guardians: Those under the command of Abyss.
Knights: Those under my command.
Hunters: Those under EM's direct command.
Gortists: Those who are under Gort's command (Foremicoh, Gravemind, and the Philosopher).

NS_Venom

I believe I have direct command over all of you. However, Bondage/Bunnies is the Head Lord so he can help command the Lords.

Lord Storms

Yes, but when the clan grows your authority will be through others instead of completely direct.

Lord Kaen

He has all power. He can remove you and Abyss from your status, and make Gort, Foremicoh, and Gravemind admins if he wanted to.

Hopefully that day will never come.

On another note, how much longer will it be before I can take my lord test? >_>

Lord Bunnies

I support usergroups. I don't support hitler, though... for some reason a lot of our admins do. O.o

NS_Venom

You know what, I think its about time for Kaen's Lord test. Storms, are you done with your part? I got a few things to finish up, but I'm just about ready.

Lord Kaen

Lol, I'll probably wind up epically phailing it, I'd be surprised if I passed. >.>

Hitler's dead. People have to support him if they want to move him around to places.

Though...I'm not gonna move a 60+ year old carcass around

General Ceyrox

Lord Kaen

Dread Abyss

He's right! Ceyrox joined two days earlier.

Lord Kaen... Lord Ceyrox... Lord Banryx... Illustrious Gort... Lord Foremicoh, ah. That one has a ring to it!

I think my legion should be the "Hole In the Ground Gang". Or "Fissures".

General Ceyrox

Dread Abyss

I don't think you've met Loki, but you met Shadow. Oh, don't forget about Banryx! You've met him as well.

Well, EM didn't object to usergroups so I think I'll make some. (Or maybe just one.)

Lord Kaen

And I repeat, your point is? __________

I asked, he said sure. =_=

Who says I'll pass? If I don't, you could take the test and pass.

General Ceyrox

No, I met Loki and not Shadow. And, Kaen, my point is I seem to be more deserving of the title than you. Secondly, we can't just make every member a lord. And thirdly, I didn't even know there was a test before this. What does it consist of?

Colonel Banryx

Its true. I tend to believe that this website is a bit biased... because EM invited Kaen, shares an interest of Pokemon, and generally agrees with him, he offers him the rank of Lord. I, at least, have contributed much more (ex. Homepage, Forum Organazation, Sub-Forums, etc.), yet the idea wasn't even offered to me. That is my point. It is unfair that the leaders get to "choose" from biased points of view, while those who work harder, are fairer, and spam less, are left forgotten and unapeased.

Lord Kaen

Banryx, I've been pushed aside on this forum more than you have. and the ideas I've stated everyone brushes off.

It also helps if you have access to the administration panel...you could have become an admin if you wanted to.

Colonel Banryx

So? I have earned access to the administration panels. I came up with the idea of a home page and a more organized forum. And let's be fair here, Kaen, just because your ideas are pushed aside doesn't mean that it was unfair. They were probably just bad or incomplete ideas. Its unfair to judge someone on those. I just think that I have earned the title more than you have. Really, what physical thing have you done to help the forum? I'm not saying your bad... you're just ordinary.

NS_Venom

Well, it seems we have a problem.

Dread Abyss

Lord Kaen

If you hate the idea of me being a lord so much I won't do it.

Colonel Banryx

Alright then.

General Ceyrox

Well, I am also satasfied. Anyone still suggesting usergroups.

Dread Abyss

I created two usergroups, I hope they're satisfactory.

General Ceyrox

Can I lead one? :bounce: I don't really see them. Are they private, or public?

Dread Abyss

Perhaps, we'll have to organize what they are. Just click on the "Usergroups" link up by the log out sign. It should show my legion.

General Ceyrox

What's it called, Liexion? Yay, I'm a member!

Dread Abyss

Something like that, I made an anagram of legion. It doesn't seem to do anything.

Colonel Banryx

Hm, legion doesn't have an "x". Can I have a try at usergroups?
