The following is a list of Groups on the forum. This is for reference, mostly for people who are new to forums.
Guests
Guests are at the bottom of the hierarchy. These are people who have not yet made an account. They cannot post or vote in polls, but they can view the forums with no trouble. Some special forums, however, cannot be viewed by guests.
Members
Normal people on the forums; most people here are Members. They can post, vote in polls, etc.
SMYN Guests
SMYN Guests are, as the name implies, people who have been on at least one episode of Show Me Your News! They do not have any special powers above a normal member. They are indicated by a pink name.
Moderators
The "police" of the forum. These are members who have proven themselves as respectable members of the community, and have been chosen by the Forum Staff to be appointed to this position. In addition to all the powers of a normal Member, they can move threads, lock threads, delete/edit posts of other users, edit other users' profiles, and give members points. They are indicated by a purple name.
The current moderators are:
Administrators
The top of the hierarchy, the Administrators are the ones who run the forums. They have the power to change nearly everything on the forum. Administrators are few in numbers; normally a user can only become an Administrator by proving themselves to be dedicated Moderators for an extended amount of time. They are indicated by a red[/b] name.
