Guild Rank Management Suggestions
A few suggestions, in no particular order, that I would find useful for managing guild ranks. Some more difficult than others in terms of feasibility.
Use Case: Allow members to invite while restricting who can promote and kick.
The current “Admin Lower Ranks” permission combines invite, promote/demote, and kick privileges.
Suggest a change to separate out permissions for more granular control. For example:
- “Extend Invitations” – Allow a rank to extend guild invitations.
- “Manage Lower Ranks” – Allow promotion/demotion of ranks, as per the current system.
- “Revoke Membership” – Allow a rank to revoke guild membership, as per the current system.
Use Case: Centralize Permission Management
The current user interface for managing per-rank permissions is decentralized. One can only view one rank’s permissions at a time.
Suggest redesign of the user interface to centralize information. Concrete example is something comparable to a spreadsheet, with the discrete guild permissions along the vertical axis and the ranks along the horizontal axis. This would allow “at-a-glance” management of all rank permissions on one screen.
Use Case: Organize Ranks into Tiers
The current rank management system is entirely linear. Ranks are ordered from top-to-bottom, in a fixed linear order.
Suggest the capability to group ranks into tiers. This could be something as simple as allowing ranks to be color-coded (e.g., group ranks into red, blue, green tiers). Or it could be as complex as allowing hierarchical, or tree-based rank structures.
