I would also love a feature like this. I run a gaming guild forum, and would like to offer custom titles as a reward to members who post a lot. However, due to the structure of the guild, the game and the alliance, I already have ~20 usergroups of varying permissions, and I really don't want to double that just so some people have custom titles - permission maintenance is already enough of a pain.
Well, I think it's pretty much stupid to have a seperate group for members just so they could have their own custom titles. And in this case, I'll then have to update the permission / forum masks for the new group which I can't be bothered to do so.
Not to sound snippy, but you "can't be bothered" to take 5 minutes in the ACP, but want a custom hack made, unpaid? :\
The point is this is _exactly_ what the system was designed to do and your ignoring it. IF you had sat down and done a well planned out usergroup implimentation it wouldnt have been an issue to start with. If your already doing other normal promotions incoperate this one into one of them.
OK, maybe I don't understand how the system is _supposed_ to work, then. On the site I run, the host guild has 7 usergroups with varying permissions to various forums. There are three guilds in the alliance, each of which has three levels of permissions on their own. So off the bat, there's 16 usergroups plus regular forum members. Now, in order to accomodate user titles for all these groups, I need to make another version of each group with identical permissions except with custom usertitles? No? What am I missing, here?
Forgive me for asking dense questions, but I inherited this job and do not have a lot of experience as a forum admin.
