Since James opened the comments recently…
This need of course covers the private categories…
Yes, I got annoyed not being able to discuss the we needs. There's a couple of we needs that I felt we didn't need at all…

Fully agreed.
I very deliberately did not open comments on weneeds to avoid creating Yet One More Issue Tracker.
Sigh. Oh well.
You have admin power on this site, feel free to delete / rework weneeds that don't make sense. I did that at the start but with over a hundred now, bleh… :-)

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. Bertrand Russell
I think we ended up deciding that this extra permissions level would be called "trusted members" ? I don't see the discussion on this page, so it must have taken place somewhere else.
When this is implemented, it'd be great if there were at least two extra levels added.
One extra level might be enough, but in the future if someone requires that extra level, it will already be there and they won't need to request it. Surely adding two additional levels isn't much harder than adding one additional level? :)

Initially this weneed asked for "trusted" members but it seemed clear to me that adding 2 levels would be more work than adding N levels.
So the proper design is IMO to add arbitrary user groups, with arbitrary permissions and names, and then the site admins can promote users gradually. Very valuable for building a community.

No, as the author of this weneed, I meant for example "sales department" or "board" or "accounting department".
I was referring to the original discussion on this topic, not this page in particular.

Sorry :-) Yes, arbitrary named user groups is the way to go IMO. If you had asked for a trusted user group I'd have edited it to be as you actually did write it.
/Don't know if that sentence made much sense. Need coffee.

Oh, arbitrary would be great!!
I just thought that you said somewhere it was impossible, or too difficult to do, because the current levels had already been hard-coded in and future access levels would need to be the same way.
