Honorary (and perhaps punitive!) SaintsWeb user classes

Hoi admins,

I recently mentioned on another thread that I'd like to make Whitey Grandad the official grandad of SaintsWeb. saintbletch has agreed to second that motion.

Have to say though, when thinking through the implementation (I'm a coder) I did come up with an even cooler idea.

Custom user classes.

See, the way I envisaged you making Whitey Grandad the official grandad of SaintsWeb by creating a new user class, essentially a clone of Full Member, that just has a different name. You would then put Whitey Grandad into that user class.

You could probably create a few more to cover other scenarios. How about a "Naughty Step" class? Or even a "Tolerated Muppet Show Moderator" class for Bearsy and Tokes.

While I'd shy away from the military style ranks you see on other sites, I do rather like the idea of spinning up custom user classes for special occasions. Bit of respect for those where it's due; and perhaps offering light-touch moderation options. In all seriousness, is this something you could easily accommodate or would be willing to implement?

Me and Bearsy don't really moderate the muppet show for plaudits or medals Paps we just do it as we know the mods don't really want to read though our carp everyday, but if you want to pin one on us, then we accept. Not so sure about the tolerated bit though would prefer honorary or something that sounds better.

There is definitely wriggle room for specifics, Tokyo. Just just trying to establish whether it is feasible or desirable. Do you have a title in mind?

Let's get it signed off then we can post a thread nominating people for roles i.e. Turkish as enforcer, Golfing Phil as Arab correspondent etc.

By the way, do the mods ever look in here? I thought they came in here less than the muppet show.

I tried to get the dumb mods to do these before but they weren't having it! Here is the one's I remember:

Matthew Le God

Saintsweb Autocorrect

Dark Sotonic Mills

Cat Rustler

Always good to see a discussion that incorporates elements of object orientation - especially in the wilderness that is the site suggestions forum. Posting in here always feels like walking round a large, cold and dark room shouting "Hello. Hello. Anyone there?" and listening for the echoes to bounce back.

Anyway, I was under the impression that we already have this sort of capability pap. I remember some of our Portsmouth supporting friends being given comical honourifics - the like of which you're suggesting here. Weren't they given "Fishy Friend" or similar? Perhaps my memory is playing tricks with me.

Keeping up the OO theme, I would like to be polymorphic. Liberal (with a small ell) in The Lounge and Grandfather Grammar in The Muppet Show.

P.S. I really like the "On the naughty step" title for anyone with current infractions. Perhaps they could have "On naughty step n" - where n is the number of infractions they have.

Is there any point to Site Suggestions?

Out of interest, when was the last time one was implemented?

No point in moaning about site suggestions in the site suggestions forum as no mods ever come in here. We will just have to hijack the main board at some point, interrupting a MLG/Turkish argument and lay down our plans. Bearsy, you might have to run in front of a horse or something.

On the other hand, we could post like porn and stuff in here, might be a loop hole in the system...

Guys, **** off, this is where I come for some alone time

It's a disgrace. When you start on here the mods are all "Hallo mate. Can I see your fiver real quick?"

When you're locked in they just don't care!

I knew this area was for w@nking! OK, share the porn.

I don't do that here, usually pop off to the computer games forum for that.

Here I just think about my next amazing thread and how else I can aggravate Pap in the lounge

Sometimes I come in here just to fart so I don't p!ss anyone off in the muppet show.

I don't quite know how to break this to you Toke, but when you come back into The Muppet Show from farting in here, your posts still smell.

And the odd thing is, the smell is a noxious cross between the manure you get from a male cow and an unspecified quantity of seminal fluid from a large brown bear.

Next time give it a couple of minutes mate, would ya?

First amazing thread, surely?

Next might give the new SaintsWeb visitor the distinct impresssion you've had one before! Can't have that, mate.

Oh bletch, your are a literary hard nut granddad/uncle, how I love you.

I like this idea of user classes, but the main problem is that this would be classed as 'fun' which I don't think is allowed these days.

I dunno about that Pap, my "Agent Fee's" thread from last week went down really well as did my "Good News!" thread from Friday.

I think it goes to show the advantages of a bit of quiet contemplation before firing off threads willy nilly.
