Team Samurai Samurai Appliance Repair Man Posted January 15, 2016 Team Samurai Posted January 15, 2016 Appliantology has been around in one incarnation or another for over 15 years, going back to the old ApplianceGuru days. We have a lot of tech member groups that made sense at one time but don’t make sense any longer with where the site’s at today, which is just confusing to users and complicated for me to manage. So it’s time to clean house! We are going to streamline the member groups as described below. There are currently 9 tech member groups: Appliantologist - legacy honorary group Appliantology Fellow - legacy merit group based on post count Chief Appliantologist - legacy group Grand Master Funk - moderator group Master Appliantologist - honorary group Professional Appliantologist - subscribing member group Scholar of Appliantology - legacy group Senior Appliantology Fellow - honorary merit group based on post count Sublime Master of Appliantology - legacy merit group The following groups will be consolidated into a new, single group, Legacy Tech : Appliantologist Appliantology Fellow Chief Appliantologist Sublime Master of Appliantology Scholar of Appliantology The permissions and access of the new Legacy Tech group will be roughly based on the current Chief Appliantologist group. The Grand Master Funk and Master Appliantologist groups will be eliminated and those members moved to the Senior Appliantology Fellow group. In the end, the existing 9 tech member groups will be reduced to just 3: Legacy Tech - legacy member group Professional Appliantologist - subscribing member group Senior Appliantology Fellow - honorary group MUCH simpler and less confusing! The tech member group consolidation will occur sometime next week. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, let’s hear ‘em! The next step is to clean up some of the forums through consolidation and elimination. Some of the seldom-used forums will be merged into other forums or consolidated into new ones. I’ll announce details on that after the tech member consolidation is complete. 1
