Userlevel

Revision as of 18:41, 25 April 2009 by Foo2 (talk | contribs)

There are basically 2 different ideas behind the system. First to reduce the power of some very annoying people who do more harm than good to AniDB or are just a pest to deal with. Second to give some trustworthy users more responsibility in areas where they might be useful to the whole of AniDB. This is meant to speed up the process of creqs and keep the overall quality of the ever increasing data constant and maybe improve it even.

Implementation

To achieve those goals a role system was implemented. Every user has a primary and a secondary role.

Possible primary roles are: (sorted from lowest to highest)

  1. Tard
  2. Newbie
  3. Beginner
  4. User
  5. Advanced User
  6. Mod
  7. Senior Mod
  8. Admin

Primary Roles

Level -1 - Tard

Users who have shown they are incapable to be of any use to anyone end up here. This level is manually enforced by mods.
