Marines!
I thought I'd throw up the member ranking system I've set up for the board just in case anyone was curious about it.
0-4 posts = "Freshly Registered"
5-19 posts = "New Member"
20-74 posts = "Lower Junior Member"
75-149 posts = "Higher Junior Member"
150-299 posts = "Forum Regular"
300-499 posts = "Lower Senior Member"
500-999 posts = "Higher Senior Member"
1000-2999 posts = "Lower Supreme Member"
3000+ posts = "Higher Supreme Member"
For the moderator system, I'll be breaking it down into categories.
Administrator. Currently I am the only administrator. This for the forum managing only, it holds no authority over the group from a "political" standpoint. Although I am the only admin at the time being, future events may warrant additional admins to be appointed. The admin has complete control over every aspect of the forum, so what the mods (listed below) cannot do, the admin will be able to do.
Command Staff. The Command Staff will be granted similar abilities to the admin, but to a limited degree. They will have control over all aspects of the forum except ones specifically reserved for the admins. Consider your Command Staff on equal footing with the admin, and your admin is to be considered a part of the Command Staff. These are your "town elders" so they will not be arbitrarily chosen. Each member of the Command Staff will have shown exceptional performance in and understanding of the community we've set up here.
Staff Moderators. The Staff Moderators will be your traditional moderators. They will deal with the day-to-day issues in their specific forum categories. Each Staff Moderator will be appointed to a forum category, and they will monitor and administer that specific part of the forum. Their duties will include, but will not be limited to, stopping flame wars before they start, watching for gross misconduct and reporting it to the Command Staff, and assisting users with forum software issues (how-tos).
Sub-Moderators. The Sub-Moderators fall under the Staff Moderators in that each Sub-Moderator manages a specific sub-forum. For example, a Sub-Moderator will be appointed to the "GM Helmet" sub-forum. These moderators will mainly be appointed as general experts in each sub-forum, but will hold limited moderating abilities. Bumping threads, locking threads, etc.
I've set up the user system in this manner in anticipation of the group growing larger as more and more people get interested in GMs. I don't know how large it will get, but I imagine it can get to be something like BSN, so I'll need a good team of mods to help with the forum. I'll be watching the group as it grows and interacts, so I'll keep my eyes open for potential staff members.
