Staff
For the staff, who get Supermod priviledges and manage other aspects of the site. I am planning on adding an extra Banned usergroup soon, and name it Suspended, so people will know whether the user is banned forever or just temp.

At a site that I am a SuperMod, we have the usergroup "The CellBlock". I now use this on my own forums. We use this for members that scam other members or they are 1 click away from being banned for whatever reason. Listed is the greeting message they see when they log in.


Dear Visitor(s),

Occasionally members abuse message boards.. either towards others, or just general abuse. This is NOT permitted here at AnotherPar.com. Any variation of flaming, rude comments, insults, personal attacks, etc., could be why your reading this right now...



Cellblock Benefits (what's in it for you)

An inability to post anywhere else but in this forum.
The full and complete attention of the Mods and Admins.
Unique status of being known on this site as a problem child.
High probability of being permanently banned.
We don't need your negativity. Posts that defame, abuse, harass, stalk or otherwise violate the rules of this forum are prohibited. Make your peace in this forum by working out your issues... and stop being Irritating.

I have many usergroups added apart from defaults:

Full Members (Members with 150+ posts)
Senior Members (Members with 500 posts and 500 rep points)
News REporters (We have a third-party portal integrated)
Community Team (Staff Members)
Dev. Team
Jr. Admins (Admins with limited access to admincp)
Al of above groups, have a seperate pvt forums :>

12 groups for ranks (3 additional with admin rights)
3 groups for sections
2 groups for 1 platoon
3 groups for management (enlistment office, base maintenence etc.)
1 group in which all the clan members are
1 group for recruits
