I don't know whether adding an extra group would really benefit the things you say, seb.

Apart from that, it's a pain to implement user groups in invision 1.3 - let me explain - since you can't assign multiple user groups to a user (like for instance you can in invision 2), this means all forum access permissions have to be adjusted on a permission mask basis for all fora + all members have to be categorized. The more possible member groups we create the more possible combinations member group / permission masks you get, the harder it gets to keep track of things...

To give you an idea for VIP member class we have now for instance 5 permission masks: regular VIPS, VIPS who help to update the main site, VIPS who do translations, VIPS who do translations and update the main site, VIPS who help in the grammar squad.

Depending on the permission mask the user in question has access to different fora.

Edit: having said that implementing it would be technically possible, even in an automatic way if we base the new "class" on postcount. So if you think it 'd be worth the trouble I'll have a look at it... :whistle:
