A Group of Ideas

// I apologize for any potential repeat ideas in advance

A while back, I decided it would be a good idea to create my own group, just in case I wouldn't be able to in the near future for various reasons. I enjoy the admin controls, but I think what is seen now is only but a smudge of what can be controlled. 

For starters, I believe that the Group Discussion get a "make-over" in the sense that the administrator can lock forums (as in lock from everyone BUT the admin -or specified ranks- or even lock off entirely), that certain thread can be pinned to the top, such as when staff decide what the current "Hot topics" are in the main forums. In addition, I believe that players (as well as the admin) should be able to delete or edit/"snip" certain replies to posts to prevent spam, controversy and those treacherous *DOUBLE* posts.

Next, I believe that there should be a way to make certain discussions visible to certain players, or even groups of players. 

// Well, this is as far as my imagination can go tonight, but I'll add more ideas as they come!

  • Ah! Some ideas I have been having about this:

    - allow us to revoke or cancel invitations, could be a separate permission (my sense of tidyness really wants to get rid of invitations issued months ago to players who are no longer active, for example)
    - give admins the ability to self-demote
    - warning that making someone admin level will mean that status can never be revoked - or even better, allow group owners (oldest admin or the person who created the group) to revoke admin status.
    - the ability to add players to the ban list even if they are not current members
    - sticky, delete, close threads
    - fix that member designation bug that makes things wonky when you add more member designations
    - allow unique member designations
    - HTML buttons in the group info modification window
    - Search for members by name
    - See entire membership as list of names only, alphabetized (or ideally, sort-able by multiple criteria) on one page (or say, as 300+ names / page)
    - change privacy setting for group after making it
    - new privacy setting - visible; can apply for membership through group page vs current by invitation only semiprivate setting
    - (via AC2K) the ability to for admins to send a message to all group members who have opted-in to group notifications
