Title: Should all categories be visible to all forum members?
Post by: Kyper on November 15, 2012, 03:25:41 am
Alright, I am starting this poll because AK had brought up the idea of not using groups to keep the games private to only thier players.

So, I am going to do two polls. First, is to see if we want all games visible to everyone. The second is, how.

I think the best Idea would be to make the RP boards group specific. That way some one can't post in them.

Because it would be nice if we see the other games and if they had any openings. That way some one could request to join the game.

Anyways that is my two cents on the matter.

Actually, I could do something similar to this. Make a group that everyone is automatically made a member of that allows them to lurk all games, but not be able to post to them.

There you go that is what I had in mind.

That sounds like a good idea, Kyper. Lurking is good.

It would be great if we had a third line on the topics page, so it would look like:
   
This is the Title.

Then we could easily look down the list and see which threads we are in. Is there an option or mod for this? If not, why not!?

Not sure another line for topics is possible. I looked for a mod to allow one but couldn't find one.

As to a group that allows all to see all groups, I made a group called Lurker. What this group does is allow you to lurk other games without being able to post in them. Right now membership is based on player preferance. Meaning a player can join and unjoin at will.
