These icons are pretty awesome.

Way better than the 2829382930239 titles people had under their name.

Props to whoever made 'em.

I don't like it... they're just random little colored shapes to me. Sure, I can mouseover them and see what they mean, but at a glance they're just random colored bits, and I don't think I'll be mousing over enough to actually learn them. Maybe if they were a bit bigger (twice?) and the icons were closely related to their meanings, I'd like them more. Like a musical note for Music Producer, an arrow for Simfile Author, a clock or calendar for Veteran, that kind of thing.

I thought about that, but after the obvious music note and arrow thing, it gets trickier. Some people might not make the same kinds of connections, like a calendar could be for Event Staff, because they schedule events or if you think of events as being on a calendar.

I figured it would be more intuitive to have different shapes for different kinds of positions. Content Creators and Player Statuses got lumped together because they're both things you earn once and never lose. And the colors are the colors we're all familiar with, with a few slight tweaks, like the Music Author being more yellow again and Difficulty Consultant being halfway between Simfile Judge and Sectional Moderator.

The system will be more difficult for new people who had never seen title colors before, but the bottom of the FAQ lists all the titles and stuff. The original choice of colors may have been arbitrary, but it's consistent and shouldn't be hard to learn, with only Retired Staff, Event Staff and the Player Statuses sticking out, because they aren't in a group. Hmm. I suppose sectional moderators could be an even lighter green than profile moderators to keep with the "moderators are green" theme.

would an option to toggle between icons and titles be possible? I think the icons are neat and help relieve some clutter (an example would be halogen's old set of titles, practically had a fuckin resume), but they're not very intuitive

So, I don't know about you, but apart from the blue of veteran and one or two others I never learned these. A lot of them only appear on a couple of people, and get associated more with those people than with the titles (especially since people can choose their own username color), so you can only get used to the full set of colors by consciously paying attention to it and trying to memorize them, and I definitely never cared enough.

Anyway, maybe people could work on a basic set of shapes that make things more obvious. The geometry is good if you know what it means but no new user is going to realize how much more important a square is than a triangle. Even a letter (like an M shape for moderators) would help.

PS: What's the criterion to get Retired Staff? Were you a pentagon or up? Square or up?

With the exception of Hammy and maybe Shashakiro (not sure if he was ever administrator), everyone on that list was at least an events manager, which is a pentagon.

In fact, except for those two users, they would have all had a star as they were all administrators at some point.

iirc shash was only a profile/mp/vidchat mod (one of those since he was lighter green)

We're still not really in concrete agreement on what staff status gets Retired Staff. Anyone who rage quits, or does something awful, etc... wouldn't get the status.

So are FFR Veteran and Retired Staff the only things that are going to be represented on profiles now?

The highest "current" title Shash ever held would be Game manager. For a while he was uploading simfiles to the engine and testing files for FFR.

Almost 100% positive he was never an Admin.

Going off of the showgroups.php page he was only a mod for BB and TWG, so I don't think he ever held an admin title

using animated tooltips for each group instead of the default link tooltips would be nice. i can't imagine it would be too difficult to do this with something like jquery.

"FFR Legends" was replaced with "Retired Staff" so we can recognize those who have had a significant influence on the community, but are not considered 'legendary' or Hall of Fame recipients.

edit: The latest additions to this group are Summerschool and HammyMcSquirrel.
