Assuming this link is for Chris Headrick, but thanks anyway. Now I know where I stand in the hierarchy more clearly.
I also understand the Boing Boing system goes 0, 1, 2, Mods, so you might be higher than you thinkā¦
Now I am back to not understanding anything about it again. I know some stuff about comics, I know virtually nothing about coding or system hierarchies in forum coding. I consider myself outside of any hierarchy in comics or coding, or if in any, very low in the structure to the point of being practically invisible.
As you may have noticed, I contributed to this thread due to my interest in comics, not coding or how the forum works. It was an aside that I happened to notice that someone in this thread was a little disappointed that they couldnāt post an image because they were a new user. From my limited knowledge I was simply trying to offer them some reassurance that they would eventually be able to post an image.
I am a little puzzled as to how I have become involved in a discussion about how the forum works in a thread that is about a comic strip.
Itās good to know where you stand.
Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because theyāre so frightfully clever. Iām really awfully glad Iām a Beta, because I donāt work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I donāt want to play with Delta children.
Yeah. Hierarchy.
Regarding that: I thought this bit was funny from the link you sent me.
Visitor ā Novice ā Regular ā Leader ā Elder
These five levels seemed like a great starting point for our user trust system, with one small modification ā we renamed ānoviceā to ābasicā to avoid any negative perception of being a so-called ānoviceā.
To a certain extent,the forum interface that boing boing uses (called discourse) is still in development. So @codinghorror is still kicking around ideas. Boingboing doesnāt have to implement all of discourseās complexity, and āLeaderā and āElderā may never be used by bb.
But the basic concept of regarding newbie users with a certain amount of suspicion until they prove their worth cuts down on the spam and the bots.
er
I just have to say, er,
It is possibly the only answer to Nancy. Perhaps Iām getting it. Er.
