Webmaster?

[loki]

Reading thru the site feedbacks, i saw a request for a webmasters status, so I was wondering, What makes a site owner a "Webmaster"?

I have alot of comments on this, but, you guys go first

Webmaster - Owns the site, owns the domain, usually pays for server.
Admin/Mods - Work with webmaster (which in turn is an Admin himself), but not necessarily owns anything.

We should really have 6 type of groups now. KWWHunction is big enough for this.

Admin
GMod
Webmaster
Visiting Staff or Visiting Admin/Mod

I agree with Golden Falcon

About if their are 2 admins which own the site 50% each and pay for everything/does everything together.

Then, they both should get Webmasters Rank/Position. Only fair.

ok,
Is the guy that gets someone to put up his board or use Fantasico to install it,has to rely on host to move it, cant even install mods/graphics without payed help a "webmaster"?.

Or is the guy that installs it/codes it,moves it from host to host, does his own security,does his own gfx ,and actually has a crew on the same level?

Just looking to define the meaning, not KWWHunction related,IMO should be two groups, "Site Owner" and "Webmaster"

This is IMO way more deeper than that. I wouldn't really call a webmaster some kiddo who just discovered the internet, leeched first DDL script he found and put it on the cheapest shared hosting he could allow from his pocket money.

True, but if you own the domain, your pretty much a webmaster. No matter how shitty your site is.

but you have a point, maybe we'll call it the Webmasters rank, but only "good" webmasters will join?

edit: what loki said is good too, we can go that route.

Whatever we decide, its definitely worth a look. We need to seperate actual site owners/admins from regular members who don't have sites. After all this is what this site was designed for.

But most people here are visiting admin/mod ..
If I'm not wrong

Remove the webmaster usergroup alltogether, its pointless.
