Return of Specific Rank Bars

[Nocte]

Ranks were never a hassle when I was FM. I did them every day or every other day and it only took a few moments....

Yeah and look how well your FM campaign went.

Cheap blows discounted, Myth you are right when you say I don't precisely know how the admins work, nor do I know your collective, or singular motives, I can only go on past experience, and what I should expect of the site, and of myself.

Making the permission to change a member's rank tag and permissions should be easy enough. Back at RvBW when I was a lower admin I know I had the ability to change a profile's permissions to an extent, and my permissions didn't allow me to tamper with members past a certain rank. I know it can be done, and I remember it wasn't that hard to do.

In regards to making new rank tags, yes that is a lot of work, but I am not saying we make new ones, why not use our old ones for now, or have someone modify our current ones to have precise name descriptions, I don't think that is too much to do. I would hold off on making unique rank tags until Halo 4, as to avoid making too much work.

It's Rogue. Both him and Scarecrow can make all the cheap blows they want haha.

I approve this message. ^__^

Anyways.... Myth can you tell me how easy it would be to give someone the permission to change a rank bar without anything else? Also wouldn't it be easy enough just to add the appropriate rank to each of our current tags?

You can't give a person ability to change user-groups unless they had access to the administrator control panel.

That was not vBulletin. in vBulletin, I do not know of any such permission options.

Other forum software may be more user friendly in the way you are describing. That does not mean that vBulletin has the same options available.

The images themselves are the easy part.

The hard part is the implementation. Creating the usergroups and setting up their permissions can be extremely time-consuming, and can take anywhere up to 30 minutes to ensure a single usergroup is functioning properly. You are proposing adding nearly 30 usergroups. That's up to 10-15 hours of work just to implement it.

And that's only to get things ready so we can actually begin using them... -.-

Call me lazy, but I'm not going to do that in the middle of a war. Especially on top of all my other responsibilities. And Metkil is the only other Admin with experience creating usergroups, but he's busy with other things for awhile.

That's very lazy Myth, sloth's are even surprised.

Yeah that makes sense. Really I just know that I want specific ranks for Halo 4 if not sooner. That sound reasonable? Others want it sooner, so I would say during Peacetime but I'll let others fight over a sooner time.

I just want to say that I would like to see more distinguished ranks. However, I think this should wait a while. I can't even imagine how stressful the people like Mythonian's job can be sometimes. I can see something like this during peacetime, but before that, I doubt it. I think the current ranking bars are very nice. When I first joined (at the very beginning of this war) I found the artwork done on them to be astounding. This site still has work that needs to be done. There is plenty of room to improve, despite how well done it already is. But, it is hard to do this while managing an army.
Don't put too much stress on the admins. Let them take their time. Managing a site/army/community/whatever can be hard work. I hope to become an officer eventually. However, I can't imagine being in HC in my current situation. Kudos to those overlooking their respective armies, and to those overlooking the war, and the website itself.
