Membergroup Clarification!

[[FO] David (Greth of Destruction)]

Okay, many of you may have noticed the dozens of different membergroups. This topic is here to explain them to you. Being the one who put them all into place, I would know what they are, how they function, and how even you can make it to a higher ranked member.

The positive numbers:

Forum Owner - Only TWO Forum owners currently exist, and as far as I am concerned, that is the way that I hope it stays. Owners can do ANYTHING on the forums; this includes but is not limited to: topic deletion/locking/editing/moving, post deletion/editing, forum banning, deleting users, banning users, and so on...
Authority level: 7


Administrator - Only one administrator currently exists, and he can do everything that an owner can do except delete users.
Authority level: 6


Forum Affiliate - Forum affiliates can do everything that a High Moderator can do, that includes banning users if it needs to happen. Forum affiliates can also edit the site news.
Authority level: 5


High Moderator - Manages ALL boards. These users CAN ban others, so treat them with respect. High Moderators can delete/lock/edit/move topics and delete/edit posts. Flaming moderators WILL NOT be tolerated.
Authority level: 4


[Board] Moderator - Unlike the High Moderators, these users cannot ban others. They can, however, delete/lock/edit/move topics and delete/edit/move posts. These moderators manage only a handful of boards, but may be promoted to a High Moderator status.
Authority level: 3

Priority - These users  do not have any abilities that regulars users do not have ... Yet.
Authority level: 2

Regular Users - If you do not belong in the above (or below) groups, you are a regular member. Regular members have the ability to post new topics (in certain forums), post replies to topics (again, in certain forums), and have access to the rest of the forum features.
Authority level: 1




The negative numbers:

Pariah - These users have been known to cause problems and issues. If one of these users harasses you, be sure to let us know so that we may demote them further.
Authority level: 0

Near Deletion - The worst of the worst, of the worst. These users have one chance left to change their ways. If they should happen to harass you, which would be against their favor completely, be sure to let a person of higher authority know, so that we may delete them.
Authority level: -1

Post-Count Based Groups:

NP - This stands for "Never Posted", meaning that the user has never posted. Of course, the only way to view someone with 0 posts is to visit their profile, so most of you will only ever see this if an owner posts. Required posts: 0 (and no higher)

Rarity - This means that the person that has posted hasn't posted very often, and may be a rare edition to the forums. Required posts: 1-24

Uncommon - This means that the person who posted may be recognizable if you look hard enough for their other posts. Required posts: 25-49

Common - This means that the person posting has probably been seen by you before. Required posts: 50-99

Famous - This member has most likely been seen by you, as they have posted a lot on the forums. A relevancy/maturity check will be made on MOST users with this rank. Required posts: 100-499

Superhero - This member has almost definitely been seen by most. A relevancy/maturity check will be made on ALL users who have this post-count. Required posts: 500-999

Post God - If you can get up to this rank, you have definitely devoted some time into the forums. Such devotion will not go unnoticed, and we will check your post for relevancy. Perhaps a moderator status if you mature enough. Required posts: 1,000+
