</I>>><i> Le 01/04/2011 20:08, Wolfgang Bornath a écrit :
</I>>>><i> 3. Privileges in the forum have to be tied to the task of the
</I>>>><i> group/user, nothing else.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> For simplicity I'd go for
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>  - Admin group (creating/changing forum structures, creating groups,
</I>>>><i> maintenance of the forum, making announcements about the forum, etc.)
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>  - Global moderators = all moderators, where moderating means:
</I>>>><i>  - - moving/merging/closing threads, editing posts (if necessary
</I>>>><i> because of forum or legal rules), counseling users (positive and
</I>>>><i> negative), announcing important things, etc.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>  - Special groups who could be additional moderators of one section,
</I>>>><i> like packagers and translators who are not in Global Moderators but
</I>>>><i> could be moderators and contacts for the "Packaging and Translating"
</I>>>><i> section. They have privileges only in this section.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> That's all. Simple, transparent, easy to understand and to maintain
</I>>>><i> and to scale if needed.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> We've been working with this setup for years (even before we switched
</I>>>><i> to phpbb3). Moderators were happy, users knew who to turn to. Admin
</I>>>><i> was happy :)
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Do you realise that you precisely describe what we have set up on the mageia forums from the beginning ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Then why is it not so now? Why does my description differ so much to yours?
</I>><i> For instance: What am I? According to the color and profile I am a
</I>><i> member of the "founders" group.
</I>><i> What does that mean in practice? I haven't found out yet. Same for the
</I>><i> other "special groups".
</I>
Additional question:
Why do I (as member of "Founders" and "Translators") have moderator
rights (editing other's posts) in "News&Announcements" but not in
"General discussions" and "Wizards Lair"? News seldomly need a
moderator, but the other two are the forums which will need most
attention by moderators.
