Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Ocean West Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Many of the permissions are written in the positive affirmative... Can Do this? or Can Do that? By making the text of these options written in the positive action it makes it much easier to mentally quantify the actions being taken, its a boolean toggle. Turn ON or OFF the function when the initial verb is the negative action if seems like a double negative. These seem Negative to me: Remove Status Update ability? Yes /No Remove Status Import Ability? Yes / No Perhaps: Can Update Status ( Yes / No ) Can Import Status ( Yes / No ) OR Status Update Ability ( Enabled / Disabled ) Status Import Ability ( Enabled / Disabled ) Also Disable Members of this group from editing their signatures? possibly Enable Members of this group from editing their signatures? More Examples: Enable Tagging Enable Prefix
AlexWright Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I'd think that this would certainly be the more logical approach. Although I think it'd be "Enable Members of this group to edit their signatures?", to be a tad more clear. I'd support this though. Lol, Michael. I forgot about that topic completely.
Ocean West Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 thanks michael I hadn't seen that post - glad I am not the only one who takes pause when reading the settings.
