You may have noticed in your house, you have a message that says "Current priv (Can't be changed): <number>". Chances are you got to this page by clicking on the word priv. Your priv is your member privilege level. For most members, this number is between 90 and 101. A priv enables you to do something special on Elftown -- be it uploading an image directly to a wiki-page, banning a member, or editing Main Street. The following information describes what these strange and mystical numbers enable and who generally has them.


<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


Priv 101
This is the priv of the normal member. All new members have this priv. It doesn't enable any special features.

Priv 100
If you select that you want to be a member of the Elftown Crew in your presentation, your priv will be 100. It doesn't enable anything, either.

Priv 99
A priv of 99 enables a member to upload any image type and size to a wiki-page, using the wiki-upload option in the right side bar. Press the "Upload a file" button to make the upload box appear. It also enables the ability to invite other members to join Elftown -- a link to inviting members will appear on Main Street, and in your house. (Inviting bypasses the application process.)

Priv 94
Priv 94 enables you to upload any file to a wiki-page. It is mostly used for artists who wish to upload their works in formats other than general images. The upload box is used the exact same way the image upload box is. If you have this priv, please do not upload copyrighted files or large files to Elftown. If you want to upload a large file that you created, message [Hedda] first.

Priv 90
Priv 90 is the lowest priv a normal member can have. It enables the use of the iframe tag.


The following privs are Crew-Only

Priv 89
Council Members have this priv. It enables the editing of Main Street articles and polls, the ability to make any page an index page, the ability to edit your own badge slot and the ability to give members a priv of 90 or higher.

Priv 79
Council members who give out badges have this priv. It enables the ability to give other members badges.

Priv 49
Wiki Bosses and some Council members have this priv. It enables the ability to view any wiki-page, and all wiki-pages can be edited with page owner rights.

Priv 29
Guards-in-Training have this priv. It enables seeing and editing to-Guards tickets filed on members, deleting posts from any forum, changing forum bosses and handling member applications.

Priv 14
Guards have this priv. It enables writing secret-service comments on member houses, seeing IP-Addresses, changing other members' data, writing alarm notes and banning/unbanning members.

Priv 13
Guard Sergeants have this priv. It enables deleting all wiki-page comments at once and erasing all the past versions of a wiki-page, making the current version the newest (and only) version.

Priv 4
The Guard Captain and Lieutenants have this priv. It enables being able to change anyone's priv to any priv from 1-100, reading all private messages, making forum-dictators and changing the Main Street stylesheet.

Priv 2
The ViceMayor has this priv.

Priv 1
The Mayor has this priv, it enables being able to appoint more "titles and orders" in a member's house.

2005-02-19 [X-TheDarkened-X]: Sunrse, how do you get Privs?

2005-02-19 [Sunrose]: Member Privileges :)

2005-08-18 [Stephen]: You should put a link to Member Privileges on this page.

2005-08-18 [Sunrose]: There is, 1 comment above your comment...

2006-01-27 [iippo]: Are wiki boss privs given to people who need it, or only when a new wiki boss is needed? *frustrated with the endless chatters at Role-Play Tournament*

2006-01-27 [Sunrose]: Uhm well when the person is trusted with it, you don't have to be a wikiboss (see [Hackworth]). But if you bitch at people that tends to help also :P

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Shouldn't priv 79 be listed here? :)

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: Ah yes, good point :P

2006-04-12 [Zab]: I'd do it myself..but I wasn't sure + I don't know how to say it..O__o

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: :)

2006-04-12 [Zab]: :) Can we access badgeslots? We can't change in them, just add a badge without even being in the house/slot as far as I know?

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: You can access them after you added a badge, to correct errors, so it comes down to the same thing :)

2006-04-12 [Zab]: We can? O__o Oooooh! :D Then, can we remove old badges as well then? *concidering to centipede Pixie_shimmer if she hasn't done it herself already*

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: You'd first have to add to the badgeslot. This feature is used for badging contestwinners, not removing or adding an occasional badge. Though when adding one, you can also remove things.

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Well, I was thinking first to add the centipede badge, seeing she havn't done that herself, then removing the ant badge, sinse the centipede is an upgrading of the ant..*shrugs* but I can let it be :)

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: That could work :) This is an old post, don't mind so much the rest of the text: [335181 (Unknown or private posting)]

2006-04-12 [Zab]: That was the post I found searching for that page/site/form that lets me badge.. well, I could test, Pixie can at least fix it herself if it doesn't work..>_> I'll ask if it's okay with her..

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: I tested it myself just now with my own house and I was able to edit the badgeslot before I actually badged myself (in a different manner than Guards can, and of course I didn't actually press the button to badge myself :P) :)

2006-04-12 [Zab]: *blink* O__o how? I mean; how could you edit it ''non-guard-ish''?

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: Because when you use the link, it doesn't look the same as what Guards see when they edit a badgeslot through the house. Guards normally use the 'change personal data' button to badge someone :)

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Thanks, but I asked 'how'..oh well, I'll just try. I have no idea.. I'll try. :)

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: I just told you how: by using the link of course >_<

2006-04-12 [Zab]: XD yes, but I ment how can you access the badgeslot through that? *hugs* Nevermind it Sun, I'll see what I can find out myself without messing anything up, and if I still don't get it I'll ask you :)

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: You first have to fill in the forms to get access, after doing that you can add to and remove from the badgeslot what you want and press the badge-button..

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Without pressing ''badge these members''? okay..

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: 1. Open the link. 2. Fill in the forms.  3. Press 'badge these members' = 4. Access to badgeslot.  If you don't press that button, nothing happens obviously. You'd just be staring there for hours at a page with filled in forms.

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: 4. Access to badgeslot: you can add to or remove things from the badgeslot and then you press the badgebutton again for actual badging.

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Okay, that was what I thought. :) Thanks, I'll test on my self. (so I'm not trying to give myself double wolves or so even if I have it tonight...>_> I 'll remove them if it get's wrong..XD

2006-04-12 [Sunrose]: =P

2006-04-12 [Zab]: Wheee! I got it! Thanks! Now I'll badge Pixieshimmer...just because it's not as fun for her to badge herself..XD

2006-04-13 [Sunrose]: =) :P

2006-04-21 [NightTheOwl]: Excuse me, but do you think I may have priv 99 so I can upload images that i've made into Elftown?

2006-04-21 [Sunrose]: You have a bit too many recent Uploading Art Rules-violationsreports on your house. You should ask again in 6 months, and not violate the rules in the mean time :)

2006-04-26 [kittykittykitty]: could I be changed to priv 99? I really want to upload some of my drawings as I've just got a scanner ^_^

2006-04-26 [Sunrose]: Fixed :)

2006-04-26 [kittykittykitty]: Thank you muchly ^_^

2006-05-21 [Jade Lee]: could I have priv 99 please? I want to upload some drawings and stuff, i have experience using it from Elf12.

2006-05-21 [Sunrose]: But do you also know Elftown's Uploading Art Rules? :)

2006-05-21 [Jade Lee]: yep been on etown for ages... well.... about a year anyway... :)

2006-05-21 [Sunrose]: But you also a couple of (recent) ruleviolationreports on your house...

2006-05-22 [Jade Lee]: huh? well it must just be cos they only just got found recently cos ive been off elftown for ages until very recently and I havent uploaded anything since then. But seriously, I do know the rules now.

2006-10-19 [prowlie]: um, could i have priv 99 so i can enter some art and photography competitions easier?^^

2006-10-19 [Sunrose]: Done :)

2006-11-28 [xerya]: If it's not too much trouble, I'd also like priv 99 to upload my photos for competitions. I'm aware of the rules :)

2006-11-28 [Sunrose]: Okay :)

2008-01-09 [nehirwen]: can I have priv 94, for uploading an .abr file?
(for Digital Art Resources)

2008-01-09 [Hedda]: Yepp! <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

Fixed.

2008-01-10 [nehirwen]: Yay, thank you <img:44166_1164145221.gif>

2008-07-18 [Sagacious Turkey]: So many privs... are there any unlisted privs?

2008-07-19 [Hedda]: Probably.

2008-07-19 [Imperator]: Ha ha! :D

2008-07-22 [Tingis]: can I have priv 94, In the future I wish to make an mp3 wiki of songs I sing:3

2008-07-23 [HardRockAngel]: Erm, I was wondering if I could have the priv to upload some songs (covers)?

2008-07-23 [Tingis]: yeah me too =P

2008-07-24 [Teufelsweib]: you can better go to the guards page with that question, I think they'll get to it sooner there:P
(and that's where they ask for privs most of the time)

2008-07-24 [Tingis]: allrighty captain sla

2008-07-25 [Hedda]: [HardRockAngel]: I've given you priv 94 now. (And [Tingis] got it on guards.)

[Teufelsweib]: I watch this page too, so it's a little annoying with the same request on two pages.

2008-07-25 [Tingis]: ok :)

2008-07-26 [HardRockAngel]: Thanks ^^

2008-08-15 [windowframe]: is there actually anything that needs listing for priv 100 now?

2008-08-16 [Artsieladie]: Priv 100 gets turned on when a member marks 'yes' next to:

Elftown crew wannabe
Are you or do you want to be an Elftown volunteer? (This turns on some features for Elftown-testing)

2008-08-16 [nehirwen]: I believe those 'features' are gone now though. (the techpage?)

2008-08-16 [iippo]: Please leave the question for someone who can actually answer it.

2008-08-16 [windowframe]: Yes, the tech-page is gone now, that's why I was asking (not because I can't read :p).

2008-09-14 [Mortified Penguin]: I'm getting tired of receiving a "Too high priv error" every time I mess around with stuff on elftown... So I'm requesting priv 1...

2008-09-14 [Imperator]: Ha ha! :D When you have priv 1 can I have priv 2?

2008-10-16 [Nita]: Well, it looks like priv 100 is mostly informative at the moment :)

2008-11-02 [Byne]: How do these work exactly? And... could I have prive 99, I believe it is? To upload files of images onto a wiki? (It'd make my photography uploading to here significantly easier.)

2008-11-02 [Hedda]: [Byne]: Fixed! You now have a file-upload button to the right of wiki-pages. It works about the same as using the "Upload a folder of images" button in your house, but you get the code to include it into the current wiki-page instead.

2008-11-03 [Byne]: Ou! Perfect. Thank you very much [Hedda]. I'll be able to get a lot more of my work up here now. x3

2008-12-02 [Hedda]: Everyone will have the file-upload button to the right of wiki-pages after the next update.

2008-12-02 [Sauron]: Wait, isn't being a member and be a bit active enough to be a normal member? O_o
I'm confused!

2008-12-02 [Hedda]: Confusing is good. You might learn something.

2008-12-02 [Sana]: I dont get it. Im slightly confused

2008-12-02 [Mordigen]: I'm still confused about the iframe tag.
I'm not exactly sure how the iframe tage would be helpful, or relevant in ET. *thinks*

2008-12-02 [Hedda]: For thinks like Stuff people bought on Amazon or for something worse: www.elfpack.com/_leekspin

2008-12-02 [Angelic nightmares]: Do I still have i think it was priv 94? I know I got it at one point, to upload pictures straight to wikis.

2008-12-02 [Mordigen]: You should be able to see people's privs now....or is that only for specific privs aswell?

2008-12-02 [Mordigen]: ahhh, nifty. Can I have Priv 90 then? I might be able to do something useful with that on my book wiki, me thinks.

2008-12-02 [Mortified Penguin]: What's up with the new ability to see other people's privs...?

2008-12-03 [Hedda]: [Mordigen]: OK.

[Mortified Penguin]: It was sort of a bug. I've changed it so that you can only see your own priv as it was supposed to be as it's just confusing for people.

2008-12-03 [rinkydink]: Hell, it's still confusing to see your own. I seriously don't care, unless you need somebody to step into the higher priv ranks...and even then, I thought God was already taken.<img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2008-12-06 [Nocturnaliss]: I have a question: I can already upload files to Wikis, and I'm priv 99... so what's the difference with priv 94 ?

2008-12-06 [Hedda]: [Nocturnaliss]: You can only upload image-files. With priv 94, one can upload sound-files, video-files and binaries.

2008-12-06 [Nocturnaliss]: Aaahhh I see. Well, image-files-upload-privvies is all I need anyway. But, it's good to know the difference.

2008-12-08 [Nocternity S.]: hmm... mhmm... hm.

2008-12-09 [Angel of Ice]: *punches fist into the air* Woo-hoo! I can invite people!! =D Though I did a long time ago, and they joined and aren't active... *shrug*

This whole priv thing confuses me... *scratches head*

2008-12-10 [Hedda]: Being confused is a bonus feature. If you are it again, we should charge you extra, but you'll get that for free too! <img:stuff/zabuN-gif.gif>

2008-12-10 [Mortified Penguin]: What can the rare and seldom heard of priv 92 do?

2008-12-10 [Hedda]: Same as priv 94

2008-12-10 [Mortified Penguin]: That's what I figured, but a man can dream... *eats ramen*...

2008-12-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: is there actually some one that got priv 1? and if yes can we be told who it is?

2008-12-12 [Hedda]: It's me, of course.

2008-12-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: ohh ok i thought that you where the mayor and had the priv 2^^' my bad

2008-12-12 [Elwyne]: I've got priv 99... I invited my sister to E.T. once she had fun but she quit. Unfortunately I don't have anyone else to invite <img:44166_1164145230.gif>

2008-12-12 [Angel of Ice]: Of course Hedda has priv 1! Who else would it be?

2008-12-12 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i don't know i just thought that cous it says that the mayor got priv 2 and seens hedda is the mayor...ohh well

2008-12-12 [rinkydink]: So...a mayor with a diety complex?<img:stuff/cheshmak.gif>

2008-12-12 [Kyo-kun]: Once upon a time I could upload images to wiki's but apparently I can't now for some reason.

2008-12-12 [Teufelsweib]: you still can, the upload bar just moved to the right side of the wiki page :P

2008-12-14 [Anvikit]: Okay this is new.. I have never been able to see my priv before.. Did I get my privs dropped or??

Says 94 can upload pics to a wiki page.. my page said I have 99?

Is the list wrong or can I no longer add pics to wiki's?

2008-12-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: pic files are a 99 priv and priv 94 are all other files, ex. videos and sound files...

2008-12-14 [Chimes]: You can upload, I think. You should be able to anyway.

2008-12-14 [Hedda]: Nowadays anyone can upload images to the wiki (button is to the right).

To upload other files you need priv 94

2008-12-14 [Ghost the Hybrid]: so the only difference from the other once are that 99 can invite people?

2008-12-14 [Hedda]: Yes, exactly like it says in the list.

2008-12-15 [rinkydink]: Could you give an example of one who can upload videos and sounds (outside of yourself...I haven't seen one lately)?

2008-12-15 [Chimes]: I can. :]

2008-12-15 [Hedda]: [rinkydink]: You can now. What are you going to use it for?

2008-12-15 [Anvikit]: okay thanks :)

2008-12-15 [Ghost the Hybrid]: i know what i'd do. i'd uppload some anime music on an anime wiki^^' that's how big of an anime nerd i am XD

2008-12-15 [Kyo-kun]: Me too. =/

2008-12-15 [Ghost the Hybrid]: or upload an AMV that's be sooooo awsome to do
