Continuing the member group stuff.
The consensus seemed to be more is better. So I almost exactly mirrored the group structure from V1 here. See screenshot attached for the structure as it stands now.
The only variations are group names and post count in 1 group (unless you count my Zero post count group which will be handy later for controlling inactive accounts and that sort of thing). Oh yeah - star stuff is different too.
Since, like I always say, the actual group names and star stuff is not important and easily changed at any time (it is only the number of groups and their post count requirements which effects permissions) I took the low road and just named the second tier 2a - 2f, and the 3rd tier similarly.
The key thing here before setting permissions is post counts.
In the 3rd tier it increments by 150, just like on V1.
But that skips 1,000 Posts as a milestone - so I cheated and made 3e 1,000 posts instead of 1,100.
Any of this can be changed easily before all permissions are set - still possible to change later, but more work.
So let's see some group name ideas, and some 20 x 20 pixel star thingies submitted!
I can do it, but may as well let others have some fun too.
This part should not be changed much once it's done, so may as well make it a group effort.
The V1 Group stuff has a screenshot a few posts back.
EDIT: I updated a few things -
Gave 7 stars to admin / global mod / sponsor
6 to moderator / donator / supporter
And we may still want to make more changes. Suggestions welcome!
