Donator user titles

[Duff]

I have just been reading this where a guy was complaining because his user title hasn't been updated yet by an Admin.

Fair enough, there aren't as many Admins as Globals/Sectionals, but why not make it so Globals/Section Mods have the ability to accept/confirm User Titles? After all, it's nothing huge, right?

This isn't anything big, but it's something to make it a little less 'inconvenient' for people who can't wait a few days at max. Just a thought.

 

It's interesting that globals can change avatars but not UIs. I'm sure there is a reason for it.

I wasn't aware of that, but that makes another reason. I think all mods should be able to do it, personally.

 

If you read the thread, he's dissatisfied about his request not being approved in under 24 hours of it being sent. This isn't a matter of inconvenience, more than it is impatience.

1. Username images/custom ranks: Custom image requests have always been an issue because you need server access to upload the files. Server access is severely restricted for security reasons. This doesn't even have anything to do with me, I just happen to have access so I process requests when I can. We've looked into alternative ways to get the images uploaded but that's usually easier said than done. We thought we had found a way but when we tested it with modern browsers it wouldn't work because most browsers have new security features which broke it. I'll look into it again but it's not like we haven't tried to make this simpler. I literally have to be at home on my computer to process these because that's the only place I can get into the server.

2. User titles: these tend to be approved quickly so I don't see the problem here. Last week they piled up because I was out of town for a funeral but I did them all when I had time. A couple other admins do have access to approve these now (Govind and n4n0).

All administrators have the ability to approve UT's and UI's. That is enough. I'm 100% positive that Matthew would not further give out perms to staff below the administrator position.

It seems that every single suggestion thread, you have something negative to say; even when there's no reason why the suggestion should be denied or given reasons against. I said inconvenient for people with no patience. I personally would wait, and wouldn't give a shit; but it's one less thing for admins to handle/worry about.

There are more than enough administrators to handle these requests.
If a request isn't handled within a few days, try PM'ing an admin that has been online.

Meanwhile, Matthew gave this permission to administrators. This is mainly because uploading images to the Sythe servers is a dangerous process AFAIK.
The current system has been a great improvement over the last one, as request sometimes took weeks to be completed.
