ESD Food Chain

Hello everybody. I wanted to address something that has been bothering me since the launch of the new site. We didn't have a system or any real grouping of members. Today I sat down and figured it all out. I opened up microsoft excel. I made basically a "food chain" system that will group members.

Category 1 (Blue username)
Admin- There are and will only ever be two Admins. Jared (Shake Zulla) and myself. We have total control over everything.

Category 2 (Blue username)
ESD Moderator- This group contains members that have really contributed to the site, the admins strongly feel that these members are trust worthy and are capeable of having moderation powers to all forums on the site.

Category 3 (Green Username)
DSM Tech- DSM Tech's, are a group of members that are "DSM Gods" and very knowledgable with all DSM's. These are the people members want advice from. Members in this group also have moderation powers in all tech related forums.
Evo Tech- Evo Tech's, are a group of members that are knowledgeable with Mitsubishi Evolutions. Members in this
group also have moderation powers in all Evo tech related forums.
420A Tech- This group consists members that are knowledgeable with the 420A platform.Members in this group also
have moderation powers in all 420A tech related forums.

Category 4 (Red username)
Supporting Member- Supporting Members, are a group of members that have contributed to Eat Sleep DSM. Most
likely by donating the the forum.
Supporting Vendor- Supporting Vendors, are a group of members that own a business and have donated to
Eat Sleep DSM. Supporting Vendors, are also allowed to advertise their business on our site.

Category 5 (White username)
Proven Member- Members become part of this group by exceeding a post count of 25.
New Member- This group contains the new members to the site that have less than 25 posts.

Everybody can advance to a higher rank with the exception of the Admin group. If you feel like you are ready to move up, ask an Admin or ESD Mod and we will determine your advancement.

In the pic below, swap the green and red colors. Category 3, is green, and category 4 is red. I made changes after taking this screenshot. Also, Admin is also Blue and not Purple.

Thanks AJ. Our site is pretty easy to moderate right now due to it's smaller size but as things pick up we will need help. If you want a position on our staff please start showing your support now. We will be more open to making you a tech if you help out and give good advice on stuff you know about. If you want to be a mod then be sure to be respectful to other members, use proper spelling/pronunciation, and log in to the site often (yes we can tell how often you are on). If none of this interests you then just hang out. These rolls do not make one better than another, the only reason they are in place is so we can have an organized and maintained site. Thanks everyone.

This is actually a very good set up
*Edit* DSM Tech FTW!

Very good setup. I think it will help alot in the long run.

Think of techs as your elders. Lots of experience and give great advice.

.....Someday Ill be a tech lol.
