Team Icons

[Corvette]

I am having trouble sorting out Mods and Admin's because on the stats section of the left panel on posts, It always says members even though they are moderaters.

But team icons can sort them out for you! I think team icons will help new members figure out who the mods are. It seems like 45% of all IPB forums have team icons. And I could make them and they might look cool! So can we please use them?

What? It says moderator or administrator.

And, Advanced Member, Member, Admin, Super Moderatior, Moderatior and even Banned

Are you referring to the stars or this?

Makes no difference to me.

No not that! They are images under the pips with a visual showing of what special job or status they have at the forum using them (Member, Advanced Member, mod, super mod, admin and even banned).

You mean that mods/admins should have a banner saying mod or admin instead of the stars: ???

We have that a some point, but we decided to remove them so that we don't give the impression to be "superior" to the members.

He talking about having these:

But once again he makes no sense. What ever that member is it will say under there avatar what group they belong to.

So if it says:

Group: Members

They are a member. If it says:

Group: Super Moderator

Posts: 1220

Member No.: 42

Joined: 23-August 01

then they are a super moderator.

The fact is there are 6 primary groups.

• Administrator
  
• Moderator
  
• Super Moderator
  
• Member
  
• Affiliate
  
• Banned aka Vacation
  

They are CLEARLY MARKED under their avatar. And once again *deep breath* just because other boards have them doesn't mean MSFN needs them. MSFN is unique and that is what makes MSFN so special.

No! The Stars stay but maybe we can just use them on Mods, Super Mods and Admins, And I am getting someone to make them so they match the theme! And they also give good knowing that new members can find the Mods/Admins.

And you can change it so that they call regular members "Restigered" in the status collum and the team icon/pips show the status of the member instead (Member, Advanced Member). And it will still name Mods and the Admin as Mods and Admins in the status collum and team icon for easy ID

We had team icons in the past and we will not implement it again.

Thx for suggestion.

[Corvette]

Well guess I won't need the *theme matching team icons* anymore

Stop press!!! See that text that says Adminstrator on xper, That's a makeshift team icon that just says Adminstrator on a transperant background.

Not XPerties, Just look at an admin now (Try xper), The text that says Admin is a team icon that's only text.
