Proposed Changes :)

I would like to make some minor/major changes and I want some feedback before I try anything.
Since we are working on getting new members I thought it would be nice if I just allot some users with different section to publish on various sites. The problem is we need to have some sort of filter or chain of command to make it work. Since, I do most of the marketing Totse gets pretty handicapped when I am offline or I lose my Internet [happens quite regularly]. Since, I want Totse to be self-governing I thought why not introduce new user ranks.
With the new ranks, I can easily assign certain users to different task. Since, we plan to compete with cracked.com in future, we need some editors/marketers/developers and a dedicated forum for them to post in.
Here is the plan:
Change The Marketing Forum to Team Totse. (as Proposed By Mayberry)
Add a sub forum for Articles.
Add a sub forum for Developers.
Add a sub forum for Marketing Department.
Restrict access to that forum. Only Regulars or higher users can view it.
Set custom user title for developers [Developer], Editors [Editor] and for Marketing Department [Publisher etc].
With define user titles, it will be easier manage everyone. And with a dedicated forum we can brainstorm new ways of making Totse popular without spilling our dark secrets to the whole world.
This is just a draft but we do require this form of chain if we plan to take out Internet giants in future.
Suggestions, comments are welcome as always.

Also, I think "Team Totse" might sound better.
Team....Rocket???
Blast off at the speed of light!
The article forum is for editors to suggest new articles for the main page. It's hidden because we're making changes to the main page and discussing which article should go first etc. It's like the editor looks up some guide threads using the search function. Make a thread about it and adds some content/fillers and then publishes it on the main page. We're talking about the backend team. On Zoklet there was no way for editors to communicate with each other. btw allowing regular users will get us reliable feedback instead of allowing everyone to view the forum.
Example:
How to make bombs. <-- Article suggested for publishing. [By some user or editor] (remember we don't want to flood Totse front page, only the best of the best should be published).
Editor reviews it and users give some feedback.
Editor edits the articles and then publishes it.
The process takes longer but quality control is ensured. It's a bitch to fight on reddit about some guide. It only brings negative remarks.
Ok cool I see what your saying. I totally forgot about the mainpage:facepalm::facepalm: I thought it was gonna be like only regulars and editors could see the articles. Retardation on my part. With that I like the suggestions then.:)
Yeah, but getting the front page out is my top priority.
http://www.totse.info/bbs/register.php.htm
That is the link, I'm not positive but i think its the .htm at the last part of the link that is messing it up.
mhmm indeed. Great work Dfg, this is going very well
This is the most important one.
Well we're at it we might as well fix the others as well:cool:
Like the Editor titles d00ds
Awesome ideas Dfg bro:thumbsup:

Corrections just need to be added to that area of the code. (My previous post)
Favicon works for me bro. Try clearing your cache and refreshing.
LOLOLOL OMG, what has my Totse turned into.
Maybe you want to find yourself a fucking soul and realise that content isn't a repost of a repost of a repost with lovely formatting.
Thanks for the input. But the above changes are to facilitate Totse in future. Right now Totse is a dead boat. Btw thanks to those minor changes we managed to get Totse rolling, so think before jumping the hate bandwagon.
Those loose ends are being worked on. Adding forums and managing them is a simple task which takes only minutes.
