New "Control Panel" Menu

This idea is that in the "modify level" area there would be an option to have all of the information and commands are in one compact, easy-to-use, "control panel".

DUE TO MY INADEQUATE SKILLS ON PHOTOSHOP, THERE ARE NO GRAPHICS AS OF YET.
WHEN I DO, YOU WILL LAUGH AT MY FAIL.
IF ANYONE COULD CREATE SOME GOOD GRAPHICS I WILL USE THEM IN THE POST AND GIVE +REP
SO PLEASE HELP

It would feature the following tabs: (all will be explained in more detail later on.)

1. Main - these would be the main/important features
2. Stats - a whole bunch of stats
3. Players - a basic list to give players editing priveliges, and kick them, etc.
4. Ranks - a much more detailed list of players with the options to promote and demote them up and down ranks.
6. Misc. - Would have other fun commands just for the laughs (or other commands not included elsewhere)
5. About - Would have information about all of the information
7. PANIC! - all the useful commands for if your level is being trolled, etc.

1. Main

In this space you would have the main commands from each of the other tabs.
Would have the loadlevel, reset, name change, etc. commands.
Would have a selectable option to have a kind of "tutorial" information about each option.
Also would be the original tab that would be first seen by players opening the control panel.

Discuss: Merging tabs 1 & 2

2. Stats

On this tab you would have the following stats:
*Number of plays
*Number of players currently on
^ Could be represented as a kind of "fuel guage" kind of thing, pointing from empty to full, or something.
* The most commonly used smiley/ graph of all smileys, etc.
*Number of previous plays, and times, graphs etc...
*More graphs about other important stats (I couldn't think of any more...   Suggestions please!)
*Anything else relevent to stats.

3. Players

This would have a basic list of players, when you click on one you have a sub-menu with the following options:
* Kick - The current five minute ban with option to give a message
* Ban - Same as kick, but for a designated amount of time; ~ Days; ~ Hours; ~ Minutes. (would also have the option of a message)
* Give God Mode Priveliges - Would allow the player to use god mode but not edit
* Give Open-World Style Editing - Would allow the player to edit open world style, i.e. no god mode, no click-and-drag editing.
* Give Full Editing Priveliges - Would allow the player to edit in the same way as now. (god mode and click-and-drag editing)
* Reset - would allow you to reset that player back to the spawn point, removing their coins.

4. Ranks

Would have the same list of players as #3, but they would be coloured depending on rank.

The ranks are:
Troll - These players have been deemed unworthy of any editing privileges.
They are unable to edit or use god mode.
Idiot - These players are only able to use god mode after getting the code.
Average - The average player. Everything is as it is now. ie: After getting the code, the have full editing privileges.
Observer - This player is automatically given the ability to use god mode.
Builder - This player automatically has Open-World Style Editing - See above.
Architect This player automatically has full editing privileges.
Trusted - This player automatically has full editing priveleges, AND has access to the main tab's commands.
Co-owner/Moderator - This player automatically has full editing privileges AND full access to your control panel.
Note: ONLY YOU can promote/demote players above the rank of Trusted.

Debateable...

Another Note: Moderators Will automatically have this rank and you cannot demote them.
(But don't worry! They're moderators - they're supposed to be trustworthy... Right?)

...
The fully coloured list will be available to players by checking a box with the option:

[X] View Ranks?

When it is clicked on, instead of dark grey for gusets, light grey for non-chat and white for chat members, it would look like this:

Warning: May Contain Traces of Fake Names

FiendishLlama (bold because I'm the Owner)
RPGMaster2000 (Because he's a moderator)
Moustache
Fred
BaconShorts
GoodArtGuy
IamGo0DaTEe
PoopFace
IjustFLYaroundCAUSEimAnoob
Guest - 46
Guest - 7
Guest - 23
failman
Trollinator
TheRedTroll
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Upon clicking a user's name, a different sub-menu would appear:
You would be able to promote or demote players to any designated rank that you wish.
You would also have these options from the previous tab.

* Kick - With option to give a message
* Ban - Same as kick, but for a designated amount of time; 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, forever. (would also have the option of a message)

5. Miscellaneous

This tab would have other commands not included elsewhere.
Current Ideas:
* Send message to [Drop Menu] Rank - Would send a specified message to all members of a selected rank.
...
Feel free to suggest more commands!

6. About

Here there would be all of the commands on a scrollable list with explainations about each one.
It would be very much like this post.

7. PANIC!

This tab would have very little text and would just have about ten buttons:
* Disable Code [OFF/ON] - All effects given by the code would be removed. Code would be made redundant and would not work.
* Disable Rank [Drop Menu] - The designated rank would temporarily be demoted to Troll
* Freeze Rank [Drop Menu] - The selected rank would be frozen, taking them out of god mode and disallowing them to move or edit.
* Freeze All - All players of ranks lower than Trusted would be frozen, with the same circumstances as above.
* Slow-Mo Replay - Would replay the previous 5 seconds in half the speed.
* Kick Rank [Drop Menu] - Would kick all players of a designated rank.
* Kick All [OFF/ON] - All players would be kicked.
* Clear Level - The level would be cleared.
* Reset - Same as now, All players not in god mode would return to the spawn with all of their coins cleared.
* Disable Chat [OFF/ON] - In a case of a spammer, the chat would be disabled.

Thanks for reading! Please post suggestions, critiques, inquiries, and more!

Re: New "Control Panel" Menu

Thats only if you have the code in the level, so it'll be the person who gave the person the rank Observer fault that the Observer has the code.

Re: New "Control Panel" Menu

Wow, nice.   Really well-thought-out idea.
You should be able to demote moderators, though.

If the owner, or a Co-owner noticed that people were cheating, they could just go to the "PANIC!" tab and demote that entire rank.
OR they could just ban, demote or reset that player that is cheating.

Besides, you don't HAVE to have a code on the level, you can just set it as "dsf9823r17923" or something and individually promote players as you see fit.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: New "Control Panel" Menu

Now that I think about it a new problem comes up and thats "stealing" the code at the Observer rank, but they can do that only if the code is written on the world.
I suppose you trust the person enough to promote him from Average to Observer, and you have to be aware of the consequences. This idea could be in-game and work.

Re: New "Control Panel" Menu

It wouldn't be good to automatically give people priveledges -- I'd make it so that only you can promote people to observer and above, just in case you didn't want to give people the code.

Otherwise great idea, though.
