All-edit topic?

(1/3) > >>

SalsaInABowl:
We could create a new type of topic, and in the additional options, we could be able to put "Anyone can modify the first post." or maybe have a new forum code where it's a place anyone can edit. For example:I have a topic, as most of you know, and it's called WAR! So basically, they have to state their team, and I ad them to the teams page in the first post (in a spoiler). So what we could do is...


--- Code: ---[allowedit] Blue Team: SnapeTheSnipe, theone7142, proush600563[/allowedit]
--- End code ---

Or even, of possible, we could allow only specific people to edit the part (with the exception of moderator+ of course) by typing:


--- Code: --- [allowedit=CazualxGrenade] Red Team: CazualxGrenade etc.[/allowedit]
--- End code ---

And if we want to allow multiple players...


--- Code: --- [allowedit= opticalza Nick3306 Relkeb] Hello Opticraft![/allowedit]
--- End code ---

But some players will abuse this. To make sure this doesn't happen...

--- Code: --- [allowedit=rank=Moderator] Sup guys.[/allowedit]
--- End code ---

And so only players of that rank may change it or above. We could also be able to lock an allowedit section temporarily too.

This could prove useful to a lot of topics, such as the ranks registry, my WAR topic and much more. Let me know what you guys think, and hopefully you read the ENTIRE big wall of text and my excess usage of
--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

DeeKay:
It would have to be an existing SMF mod, since I don't think Optical would be willing to create something like this.
(That's even if he knows how to create forum mods)

Hasan (Tabooti):
He knows how to, But if you remember from my Spoiler campaign, I recon it took 2 months to motivate him to install it.

If you're going to pitch for a mod to be added, at least specify why. If a mod like this is to be created, What solutions is it going to solve?

For example, spoilers could be used to contain large portions of information, pictures & so on and forth in order not to spam a page.

"Allowedit" Is a hypothetical mod that makes it easier for people to be lazy.

Plus, moderators can edit posts regardless of permissions.
And I could recall that allowing a player to edit a post would be an option that you toggle for the entire board. for example "Allow rank to edit posts"

What you are presenting is a text code, a text code only modifies something within the post. For example [allowdelete] You can't actually delete this thread [/allowdelete] won't allow you to delete the thread.

You should research more about SMF and coding before suggesting something like this.

iGenerator:
I would enjoy this feature

Xeadin:
Umm... what would be the benefit to this? Just that one topic?

There are only a few places where this kind of 'all-access editing' is allowed -- Wikipedia and Wikia are two such places.
