LESTER - Permissions Issue

[ScaleRobotics]

I guess my answer wasn't yes or no, so I can't expect yours to be Joe

UMMMMMmmmmm, I do not see the need so far, after I get my upgrade I may change that opinion, when they go online with 24 bit support that will likely be a big change, but maybe not. Those Old Boys are pretty good at what they do and Darrel is a real bridge between the Cheetos eating computer geeks and regular humans HE HE HE (No offense intended, I like computer geeks)! BTW I read in a book somewhere that Cheetos are the appropriate bribe for computer geeks to un-hash your system . . .
And you all thought I couldn't read books, shame on ya . . .
Here is a forum I like and participate and get totally lost in due to BLOAT.

well as i say, the setion is not live so users cannot see it. When its decided that a PBP3 section is required, its there and ready.

Re Proton, i dont see any Proton posts, , just the odd one now and then and users seem to point them to the other forum. I did not think it was an issue.

As you have suggested i could arrange a section for Proton and Auto redirect users to the Proton forum if you think its required. let me know on that one.

Just thinking out loud Lester, just throwin' ideas into the ring.

Well thats what this forum areas is all about.

On the subject of thinking out load, is it time to open the moderation status to some new blood and prune some of the users with moderation status that are not actively contributing?

How about to have an obligatory field while registering for the kind of Compiler?

Also this compiler field been shown along with the members info.

Just thinkin loud too... so that a member can show what is he/she talking about.

If not then a seperate section might be the way as is now with PBC and PBP.

I really cannot decide but seems to make sense having a new section.

Although I was not for it....

Yes, i already arranged this. If you look at the users profile and the 'about me' entry, you'll see the License status that they claim to have.

Ioannis, Try it on your profile you'll see that the information is available, if the user has completed the entry.

Once again, i did not publish this, as when i suggested it the reaction was rather negative. never the less, i think its a good idea to allow people to identify their Licensed status, if they so wish.

That depends, am I first on the prune list?

Seriously, about contributing, how do you define that? Right now I mainly check the mod forum for news, check for inappropriate posts and validate stuff on the MOD link at the bottom. I have yet to get into articles and such, I want to get more "warmed up" before touching that.

New blood wouldn't hurt, although I myself have yet to shoot my first spammer. That says something about the speed in which they are dealt with by those already here.

But generally I would say yes, new blood would be good.
