Hi Platyna,
Bertram:
No offence, but being so long here and just yet noticing we have egos of size of average gas giant planet?
Jaxad's rank doesn't bother me even a little, nor I am going resign from mine.
Of course no offence, don't worry. :wink:
we have egos of size of average gas giant planet?
What? So... You mean... you, too? :lol:
More seriously, it would sometimes help newcomers not to see too quickly giant planets stepping on them, but more admins refraining their misbehaviour in a more sophisticated way. It's a details for veterans, it's a bad feeling for new ones, and it sometimes contributes to the electric ambiance here, or so I believe.
2 questions, a good, a bad one:
1. Could you or someone, at least, rename 'eA developers' into 'Developers'?
2. Doesn't it bother your gas giant planet ego as a Queen to be less powerful than demigod? 8)
It can't continue, otherwise both TMW and CR1 will perish.
No it can't, devs and artist have to learn how to cooperate. For seeing progresses made by Jaxad, Crush, IvanMorve, AxlTrozz, Saturn, among others, I can say we're slowly correcting the project's direction.

Best regards.

1. Could you or someone, at least, rename 'eA developers' into 'Developers'?
When I was reorganizing groups I've set four of them:
- Administrators,
- Moderators - moderating all forums,
- Game Masters - moderating Courthouse forum,
- Developers - moderating development sections.

You need to ask a person who created those other ranks, attacking them with Ockham's razor would be nice, since I fail to see the reason why we should have management groups than those listed above.
2. Doesn't it bother your gas giant planet ego as a Queen to be less powerful than demigod?
I am the queen of gods, demigods etc. Jesus loves me. Anyway I don't want here any cry baby persons, who get emo about forum titles, in fact, I don't want here any cry babies, since they always ruin the communities and turn them into pokemon paradise with intellectual level of an average coffee mug. Our current community seems to have sense of humor and self confidence. TMW never was politically correct, on IRC/forum there are blasphemies and evil topics, we have several flamboyant personalities, Spock and Kirk, in fact that's all the charm of TMW.

Regards.

:lol: :lol:
I love the coffee mug allusion.

Alright, you win: I'm done with trying to sort unsortable things.

Does anybody know who made the rank, I've just found back my own still-cutting Ockham's razor :twisted:

Best regards.

I created the new groups now and added some preliminary members.

Before I enable them everyone please review them.

Note that it is intentional that everyone is only in one group (the one with the highest permission level which applies to the person).

I added no members to the manasource developers group yet because it seems to me like everyone who is part of Manasource and has a forum account I know of also has some higher forum rank. When you know/are someone where this isn't the case please say so.

Also everyone who currently has forum moderator rank also has forum administrator rank, so this position seems to be superfluous. But feel free to make suggestions for people who should be put into this group.

I am also sure that there are a lot more people who deserve to belong to the contributor group. I just added the people from the existing eA contributor and CR project team groups. When someone comes to mind who also belongs there please say so (In my opinion the qualification for this group should be "created something which is currently online or pending release").

Those with access to the Administration Control Panel please also review the group settings of those groups with the prefix [new] in front of their name.

Should iru and axl be moved back into the TMW Developers group?

I notice in your list that meway is listed in both the developers and contributers group. Which one is the relevant one in your proposal?

I also suppose this is the reason that "[new] Game Master" (Shouldn't the group name be plural with the title singular, like it is now?) appeared in the moderators list for eA server development and TMW development on the index page? Why are game masters being added as moderators to development sections? Shouldn't this be disabled until the changes are ready?

Dual membership is not an issue and people can set their default group (to be shown under their name when they post) to their liking.

Some USA specific crap we're not implementing, but phpBB seems to ship per default.

I finally got around to activating the new groups and ranks. Please tell me when you see any problems. When there aren't I will proceed with removing the old groups.

Hi,

Maybe not a bug, but some colors disappeared, like your red, and Axltrozz's orange.

Best regards.

I made the names of important people colored again, although not necessary the same colors as before. When this topic is important to anyone please suggest hexadecimal color values for each of the groups above.

Please add me and remoitnane to "TMW Developer" and remove MrDudle, as he is no longer with the project. I also don't know peavey's status with the project.

Also, could you change the hidden "Council" forum to "tA Development (Hidden)" or something like that, to reflect how it is currently being used.

Peavey isn't involved in TMW anymore.
