Blog Update

8 05 2008

I thought it would be a good idea to put an update and let everyone know exactly what is going on and what capabilities you, as members, have.

  1. This is most likely the final design for the blog, we discussed themes on Wednesday and there seemed to be no objections. We will likely keep the pages we have now, but if you have any suggestions for additional pages, please let us know.
  2. All members (with a few exceptions, and you will be notified separately) are automatically contributors. Look for a post soon that details your powers.
  3. We have set up an e-mail address which can be found on the “Contact Us” page.
  4. If you have any comments or suggestions for the blog, please add them here (for now) so that they are all in one place.

We sent out new e-mails to most of you on Wednesday, so hopefully we’ll be seeing you soon…

Update: Rank Powers

1. Administrator
The Admin can do everything. Complete power over posts, comments, settings, theme choice, import, users - the whole shebang. Nothing is off-limits, including deleting the entire blog.

2. Editor
They can publish any posts, edit any posts, edit any published posts, edit any pages, moderate comments, manage categories, manage links and upload files. They can also delete any posts and any pages. They can read, edit and delete private posts.

3. Author
Is able to edit their posts, publish their posts and upload files. And they can delete their posts too.

4. Contributor
They can edit their posts but cannot publish. Basically contributors can write posts and save them, but they have to be approved by someone who can publish.

Can authors approve contributor posts?

*I can edit Reese’s comments…*

Don’t believe so…

Reese (16:40:47) :

Why can you edit my comments? I can’t do that myself.

*Are you serious?*

Reese, why are you talking to yourself?

Reese (16:48:54) :

You evil, manipulative scum. I’m glad that you are older than me, since that means I will probably die first and you will get to do terrible things to my dead body.

*Stop pretending like I’m editing your comments*

Oh I get it, Matthew is editing Reese’s comments and Reese is getting angry about it!!
But I actually think that Authors do have the power to publish other people’s posts. All they need is the power to publish it right?
Lets do a test.
Reese, I’ll write a post and save it, and you try to see if you can publish it.

I can’t even look at the unpublished version of the post, let alone post it.

Why would you, the younger, die first, Reese? I’m confused…

JasonM (22:02:38) :

So is Reese, Matthew keeps editing his posts and Reese can’t change them back. I “didn’t” do it in this case. Matthew “will” stop.

Reese! You has screwed up formatting!
No long words without any spaces! :(
