Usergroups Changes

Post by Adminlizzieborden »

I have instituted changes in the usergroups for the Lizzie Borden Society Forum. The purpose of these changes is to ensure that members are familiar with one another, posting etiquette, and the rules of forum behavior before they can move into an area where their posts are hidden from public access. In addition, moving into a higher group grants you more privileges or prestige as your post count rises.

Caveat: the process of moving from one usergroup to another is not automatic. If your posts are mostly one-liners, cheers, or social chit-chat, you may not be advanced until your posts begin to reflect that you are here to discuss the case and the side issues involved with the case (victorian america, fall river, heritage project, lizzie borden, etc.).

The new hierarchy is as follows:

Newbie: 0-50 posts---posting in public areas, no access to the Privy, no PM, no forum Email

Sleuth: 51-125 posts---posting in public areas, no access to the Privy, PM privileges, no email privileges

Armchair Detective: 126-300 posts----posting in puplic areas, access to Privy, PM privileges, email privileges

Detective: 301-500 posts

Sherlock: 501-999 posts

Bordenphile: 1000+ posts
