Simplification of user groups
I think the abolition of the Board of Directors is a good opportunity to simplify the confusing user group structure to just six groups:


 * Administrators
 * Moderators
 * Confirmed users
 * Bots
 * Users
 * (all)

What are your thoughts on this? --Pingu (talk) 07:04, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  The design flows really well (reminds me of 21 Laps all the time), and with the four colors intact, gives off a sense of professionalism and playfulness at the same time. Also, as with some other designs, this one is highly customizable too, and could be fit for any special occasions. PM pinter (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  As someone who wants to join the world of film and tv production, this logo makes me die inside. It's too reminicent of AVID technologies' logo and I personally cannot stand to use their software. It's so idiosyncratic and it's meant to be that way as it's supposed to keep novices out. It's meant for professionals and professionals only. This is coming from someone who is considered "AVID Certified". No dice. RalstonSullivanMarshall (talk) 00:27, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  I know this logo is probably going to win, but I'm not gonna vote on it because one, I prefer (and also chose) Colorband's proposal and two, I'd hate to vote against a logo that went through a lot of trial and error but managed to come out looking good at the end.
