[Suggestion] Forum led by: Admin, Global Moderator, Moderator, Moderat

[W13]

Right now, the "forum led by" just lists who is assigned as a 'moderator'.

Well, that doesn't work on very large forums like mine where SOME root admins choose to keep to one section of the forum (they're like the "leaders" of that section, they make the rules, they recruit moderators, etc. - but only in that section). And then we have global moderators also sticking to one or two sections primarily, and then there are the actual moderators.

I'm asking for:

- A better "Forum led by:" list. Like:
Forum led by: Admin, Senior Moderator, Moderator, Moderator, Moderator, Moderator

- Put the "Forum Led by" information INSIDE the forum where users need it. Try the bottom near the post-icon legend. Show which moderators are online, and which ones are not. Users need to know WHO to contact, not a list of 15 people.

Constructive criticism ... isn't that what the 'Report' button is supposed to provide?

Having said that, I can see the need and support such a request.

They have something similar to this in vB. I would also like to see this :)

You can already add groups. If you just want to show that the group leads it then in your ACP you need to add the group as the moderator of that forum. ;) Its one of the dropdown options.

We have ONE BIG group called "Senior Moderators" (Admins) and they take care of one or more sub-forums (sometimes even 3 or 4)... so adding groups won't work, because SOME Senior Moderators take care of SOME areas, while some don't, and some take care of just one, or some take care of many, etc. It'd be too complicated to add usergroups, and admins will have to be put into several different groups for the combinations to work.

So yeah, I prefer my idea, it's more simple.

I don't see what you mean. You can still add individual moderators as well so regardless you can still already do this.

Give me a few days and I'll get you screen shots from my testforum.

Yes, I know this, in fact, check my forums: http://www.zybez.net/community

But this suggestion is about a *BETTER* more organized and meaningful list. (and preferably, put that list INSIDE the forum itself)

[Morrigan]

So that's what you were suggesting. It seemed more like you couldn't get the groups to show up. A way to organize could be very nice. As well as an option for if it shows the group colors. I'm not sure if I would like to see the moderators inside of the forum as that might be overkill but maybe an option.

Almost all users, when in need of moderator assistance, look within the forum - at the bottom - for contact information on Moderators.

You can do this with a simple skin edit... :huh:


What about, having more options for that whole thing alltogether, removing the name "subforums:" from the board view, more like global options, i think that would be better, :)
