Re: new rank of staff member. If we ever did have to start over, first of all I would hope that the existing forum could be kept around as a read-only archive because there's a ton of history here. But second, I've been looking at PHPBB, another web forum system, and apparently one of the more popular ones since it's the first Google result for PHP web forum. PHPBB does allow you to define various moderator roles, which means you could have, say, low-level moderators who could only, say, close and move topics, approve new users, possibly edit posts (to remove links to cracks/clones/etc.), but not do anything else. PHPBB also includes a mechanism for giving warnings to users, and a user feedback mechanism so staff can keep notes on troublesome users, etc. It also allows for forums (what we would call rooms) to be only visible to certain users or groups, so there could be an on-site staff discussion area that mortals couldn't get at.

Re: new rank of staff member.
Re: new rank of staff member. @10, many have suggested this, but I don't see it as being possible. Unless the Owners are willing to give us control of the forum DB so we can move the posts too. If we can't do that though,the only option would be to start fresh... which may or may not benefit us in the long run.

Re: new rank of staff member.
Re: new rank of staff member. As I remember you can indeed make custom ranks, however you cannot delineate privileges within that set of ranks. So, you could create another rank with moderator abilities, EG the ability to stick/unstick topics, move topics around, ban members and edit posts, but not the admin abilities like changing member rank status from restricted to full members, but you couldn't create another custom rank with some of the admin abilities and some of the mod ones, and since the crucial ability, for unrestricting members is an admin ability, any custom rank you created would effectively be another administrator with the same abilities as any admin, and the same access to the forum's back end, which manifestly you don't want to give to just anybody.

Re: new rank of staff member. @8.I see what you're saying, I've made this suggestion with absolutely no idea how many staff members there are. What it would do though is reduce the workload all around. If it's not doable, then oh well. I put it out there in case it'd help.

Re: new rank of staff member. Actually, making custom ranks in punbb is possible, from the administration panel if you're an admin. Feel free to contact me if you need more info on this.

Re: new rank of staff member.
Re: new rank of staff member. Any reason why the forum couldn't be moved away to another plattform? I'm not entirely sure on how high the server costs are currently, or how they stack up against those of other hosting providers, but having admins not responding to emails from the forum admins is quite worrysome in my opinion.Greetings Moritz.

Re: new rank of staff member.
Re: new rank of staff member. With the number of admin we actually have now, I don't think any of the things cited will actually be a problem, honestly.So I feel this suggestion, while well-intended, is a little pointless. It also can't be done, for reasons others have already gotten to.

Re: new rank of staff member. Hi.As far as I know Richard and Sendermen are both from the netherlands, the forum is hosted on a dutsh server,so I suppose the main interface would be dutsh as well, it shouldn't be to hard finding someone who can speak the language a tad better then me.in fact, I know a hand full of people who are responsible and know the language.Greetings Moritz.

Re: new rank of staff member.
Re: new rank of staff member. And here is where we hit the limits of this forum software. To my knowledge the software possesses no form of privilege delegation. The last time I used PunBB on a server I ran, a few years ago -- around 2017 or so, you were either a member, moderator or administrator; there was no in between. This could be managed via an add-on, but then we hit the language barrier (the website that allows you to acquire the forum software is not English to my knwoledge).
