[Suggestion] Multiple Permission Threads

[Abovegame]

Basically the idea would be that if two or more people are working on the same project, they could create a "shared" thread about it which both of them could edit.
What do you guys think ?

It's a good idea, but i don't know if it is possible to create a shared thread.

I mean there would be a lot of coding involved in such a function.

Don't the mods already have this ?

You mean the shared models? or maybe that mods can edit anothers thread and posts?

This is what i'm refering to.

I would love that.
For map development threads if nothing else.

Yeah the only easy way would be to become a hosted project. Then you and your team could become moderators of your subforum.

 

[Shar Dundred]

To be fair, most projects with "big teams" have been falling apart a lot in the past.
I don't think this would be worth the time or effort to implement if we are talking about "one" thread.

If we were talking about subforums, like the Hosted Projects, that could work, but having too many
Hosted Projects isn't the best idea.

Hosted Projects have it all organized but it's harder to get there than to browse through Maps. Many map threads have few comments. In them the other authors could just post something without having to edit the opening post. The latter could be done from time to time by the main author. However, in map threads with lots of comments, searching for author posts/updates could be time consuming (if they are many and you'd have to search their name by thread each time). Thus, maybe, if it isn't possible to give authority to more than 1 user to one map thread, then maybe it would be possible for each author's post (integrated in the thread as bundles have more than 1 author) to be automatically placed under the main/opening post between some sort of hidden/spoiler brackets?

It's not a bad idea, actually, but wouldn't it cause many awkward first posts to be displayed?

They would be hidden unless users click for them to be shown. I guess the thread master would then be able to further sort things, for instance editing/deleting those posts as to integrate their message in the opening/main post. Or something like the way reviews appear.

I support this. Several times I've wanted something like this (shared thread controls).
