Organized Usergroups, Colors, Fixed Forum Permissions, Recruitment...

As you may have noticed, changes have been made to existing usergroups in an attempt to help organize the forums for future refrences.

Usergroup added: "Clan Member"
A new usergroup has been added titled "Clan Member". This group is for members who have gained acceptance into the clan (in other words, have been accepted and are now a part of UnDefiable.). Members in this usergroup can easily be recognized with a purple name color. In order to become a part of this group to signify you as an "official" UnDefiable. clan member, InvokedFury or DyingHeaven must check to make sure you are a member of the clan; once done either of the two will add you to that group giving you access to view the "Clan Discussion" section.

Usergroup added: "Retired"
This usergroup is for clan members who have registered onto our forums, but have left and are no longer a member of our clan. They still have access to our forums, but can no longer view the "Clan Discussion" section. A retired member can be recognized by their dark grey name color.

Recruitment Forum
A Recruitment forum has been added for any visiting guests who have stumbled upon our website to leave an application if they would like to join us. This was created to give the "regular users" group some use, and it may be useful in the future if we become a well known clan or have a recruitment thread on the CA forums. Currently it is set to only Registered Members can post, but I am debating on letting guests reply there, but having to leave a valid application otherwise it will just be deleted... Any suggestions on this would be appreciated!

Forum Permissions
Although it may not have been very noticable, some forums had their permission's set so that members couldn't view/post on a topic in a specific section/category. Each individual category has been checked and the permissions have been manually cleared and checked again so that members should now have the access to view forums that their usergroup allows them to.

*Settings have been changed so that only members in the "Clan Member" usergroup can view the "Clan Discussion" section(s). This section will appear invisible to "regular" members, Retired members, guests, and Banned users; however they have access to the "General Discussion" and "Combat Arms" sections.

Usergroup Colors
Some usergroup colors have been slightly altered, the list is as followed:
Forum Administrators
Super Moderators
Clan Admins
Moderators
Clan Members
Retired
Banned

Don't think of it like this. We value every member in the clan, but it's also necessary to make sure people we don't like don't have access to sensitive forum areas. For that reason, we have to categorize members for that to work. No person here is "lower" or "higher" than anyone (not even admins). We've just got a little more power than most, which we TRY to use in the most democratic way possible. We're not e-Stalins or e-Hitlers. =D
