Member Groups

[Essey]

For anyone who is confused about the member groups, here is a guide.

Staff

All staff members can see a hidden board called the Admin/Mod Chat, which only Admins and Mods can view. They are invisible to regular members.

Administrator

The Administrator is the owner and creator of the boards. They are in charge of everything, and can do whatever they please. They have access to both the Mod CP and Admin CP, and can moderate anywhere. All reports can get sent to them.

Supreme Moderator

The Supreme Moderator is basically a Super Mod, and assistant Admin. They are able to do as they please as well, but only if the Admin allows or agrees. They have access to both the Mod CP and the Admin CP, and can moderate anywhere. They can get reports from any forum on the board.

SE Moderator

These are basically regular Moderators. They can access the Mod CP, and can only moderate the Sonic Evolution section of the forum. It's also the only area where they can get reports from.

Sonic Moderator

Another basic Moderator group, but within a different section. They have access to the Mod CP, and can only moderate the Sonic the Hedgehog section boards, as well as only get reports from there.

General Moderator

Regular Moderators that can only moderate the General Board. As well as only get reports from that section as well. They have access to the Mod CP.

Fan Moderators

Basic Moderators once more, whom only get reports from the Fan Boards. They can also only moderate the Fan Boards, and can access the Mod CP.

Members

Members

Members have no special powers whatsoever. Their only purpose is to keep the forum alive, by posting and creating topics. They are the most imporant part of the forum, for without them, there would be nothing to moderate. Members can be promoted, with the skills and behavior or proving themselves worthy, or also nominated in the Admin/Mod section as well, or after even trying out, if tryouts are started.

Banned

They have no powers or even access to the boards. They are the Members whom didn't obey the rules, and got punished. They are forever banned from the forums, no exceptions.

Validating

This group isn't put into effect, but is still a possible member group. Since this forum doesn't use the validation system, you will most likely never see a Validating Member. They basically are supposed to be Members whom didn't go to their e-mail yet to activate their accounts, or the Admin hasn't approved of them yet. They have access to the board, but cannot post or do anything in it. But they don't exist on this board, since this board doesn't use the validation system.

Well, I hope that was all useful to anyone confused.

Great idea for the mods. My forum only has 5 types of members; Member, Validating, Banned, Moderator and Administrator
