Profile Levels & Staff
Hello everyone,
I would like to share with all of you what user profiles will be like in the near future. But first, I would like you all to welcome @Priscacara and @aussieant32 to The Reefuge Team. They are new staff members in new positions here at The Reefuge.
@Priscacara and @aussieant32 will be here for new users of The Reefuge. They are in charge of welcoming new members and making them feel at home, as well as the go-to people for technical support of our new website. The new website will be laid out simply, but it will have powerful features and users will be able to make the website behave the way they want it to. If users have questions or need live support, these staff members will be there to help.
Now, onto user profiles and how they are going to change. Currently, user profiles are unlimited in everything they can do. With the exception of a few features, most members have a free, unlimited service.
This is going to slightly change. Before I go on, I would like to stress that no member account will be limited to information on The Reefuge. ALL information will still be able to be accessed by the public and ANY profile level alike.
The Reefuge user profiles are going to act more like a game. There will be achievements and features to unlock. The more active you are in the community, the more powerful your user profile becomes. This is to help raise activity within The Reefuge community and to help with running costs. However, we have also catered for the lazy or the people with no time to unlock these features. For those who do not want to wait for features to be unlocked, or have no interest in posting but would like certain features, they will be able to buy them.
This is in a primitive state, and we would like all users to suggest what features should be a default and what features can be worked towards. This is the basic list right now. Prices and actions are not yet absolute, they are simply ideas at the moment.
Thanks.
