• The Directorate, division leaders, community advisors, technical administrators, community advisors, server managers, server admins, and members all have their own coloured markers on the member map.

I was hoping to add supporters and VIPs to this list as well, although the coloured markers do not seem to interact with secondary forum groups.

09/02/17

• Added forum badges to be given to head admins, eSports competitors, operators, TS3 admins, and trial admins.

These badges were provided to us by @qDogg. Many more badges exist, although we currently do not have the means to efficiently implement them. Please contact me or any of the other directors if you or anyone you know needs to have a badge added or removed.

• Removed the eSports Competitor forum group.

With the addition of these forum badges, this forum group is no longer needed.

• @Snoopy added forum badges to be given to staff members, member acceptors, and contributors.

These are some of the other badges provided to us by @qDogg that Shuruia mentioned above.

• Assigned aforementioned badges to staff members, member acceptors, and contributors.

• Readded the Community Advisor forum, but this time in the Trusted+ forum

The Community Advisor job role will be changing slightly in the near future and it'll require them to record a decent amount of data, hence the new forum to keep things tidy.

19/03/17

• Added a block for forum and server rules to the homepage and forum index.

Using blocks to display the rules may or may not be temporary, as adding the rule pages under the community drop-down menu is being considered.

03/04/17 - Update 2

• Added colours to the pips so that people can "prestige" when they reach a certain post count.

 

Thank you to @Azura who made these pips for me.

• Converted the Pip Rank Points so they work on reputation instead.

[Shuruia 3,145 / 28,023]

16/04/17

• Updated the GMod subforums so that they have a uniform process for admin applications.

This includes the applications bearing the trait of only being visible to admin+ and the OP. This was accomplished alongside @Zebra.

• Updated the Sourcebans server list to be representative of the present.

[queue 917 / 10,419]

03/06/17

• Added "Player Reports", "Admin Applications", and "Mute/Ban Appeals" sections to all server sub-forums along with some general clean-up of unneeded sub-forums. 

Much of the servers had varying section names and often were missing these sections entirely. Now, the continuity has been improved across the division area in that regard.

• Deleted "Admins", "Improvements", and "Questions" sections within the Server Manager forums (not publicly available).
• Added sub-forums for each server within the Server Admins forums (not publicly available).
• Deleted the developer sub-forum (not publicly available).
• Added a "Solved" section for the Hardware and Software sub-forums within the Support Bucket.
• Added an "Accepted" and "Denied" section for the Creative Team Applications.
• Added a Teamspeak Application section to be worked on (not publicly available).

• Creative Team members can now change their display name.

Added

Set per content upload limit for Players to 16 MB and Members, Supporters, and Server Admins (These are the groups that most of the players are apart of) to 32 Megabytes as an attempt to slow the rate that the site's uploads folder is growing, if you need to post a video or something that's larger than the your limit then consider becoming a member (if you're a player) or use an external site to host the content.

28/01/18

• Merged the Art & Media subforums.
• Added "Advice, Recommendations & Critique" and "Writer's Club" sections to Art & Media.

This was implemented due to a suggestion made by @Benroy. The original suggestion thread can be found here: https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/24475-merge-art-and-media-in-one/

• Display names can now contain spaces. (Happened a week or so ago)
• You can now hide your own content. (This does not hide it from staff)

• Added an operator forum group with the same permissions as server admin
• Anyone with the operator badge has been added to the group, if you are an operator and you did not receive the group, contact a Council Member, Division Leader, or Director.

If there are any issues with the operator group's permissions, let us know!

Turned on file listing for fastdl, you can now browse the fastdl (just like you used to be able to).
