Idea Galen mentioned to me
 

Me and Galen once discussed a idea for playerworlds. I have made out a few features it could possibly have or whatever.

Make a program and/or web app for Playerworlds that would allow you as owner to do different things like:


Examples:
Global = All permissions/access.
Owner/Admin = All access most permissions (cept delete Global accounts like Stefan and Unixmad).
guild admin = add/delete/modify guilds.
guild = add guilds (Can't OW(overwrite).
LAT Admin = add/delete/modify levels, gfx, etc.
LAT = add levels (Can't OW).
GFX Admin = add/delete/modify gfx.
GFX Team = add gfx (Can't OW).
Whatever else.

Other things:
Stefan, Unixmad, and whoever else makes the owner's account/permission.
The owner/admin position can't delete global position, but can make any permission under or equal to.
The Admin of each team can create only permission/access for that team and that team only.

This would prevent: Disgruntled playerworld workers from deleting everything or most everything, and would keep from giving the playerworld FTP password to everyone that needs access/whatever.

This would help: track down persons trying do unauthorized/bad stuff to a server, clear up some confusion between teams and stuff, hopefully make it easier on Stefan and Unixmad.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know this would be a bit of work to complete, but I think we have enough good programmers and the such around Graal or elsewhere that would be willing to work on something like this.
Let me know your thoughts, opinions, comments, etc. on this subject.

I'm sure if I had my playerworld online I would care. But it isn't, and I don't care. Sorry.

very good.

def add some type of ftp pass changing

Well, with a program/web app or whatnot, you really wouldn't need to change the ftp password, because it could be hidden. If there was a password changing option added, then it would be restricted to owner, and global access permissions, which would also send/leave a message of some sort to the global/owner people letting them know that it was changed and what the new password was. (which could be randomly generated I'm sure of.)

I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too big or too complicated, this is just merely a suggestion in hopes that I can get some other people's wheels turning and come up with something to make the struggle of playerworlds easier on everyone. I know it can be a pain, because I used to run a playerworld myself.

Anyways, feel free anyone to drop more suggestions and whatnot.

Time for me to finish installing ICQ and rush to work. :(

Laterz!

now the hard part:


get stefan to make it!

excellent

pretty good

good idea, i don't exactly understand it tho

it is a good idea, but good luck getting it made, you'll need it..
