Default Has anyone tried the new Society stuff yet?

What do you think? Can you break it?

Ah man, I thought I'd replied to this:
Ok so I've had a play around with the society tools. Some thoughts:

1) It would be really cool if you could select your role as a title.

2) Wallets. The salary system is great, exactly how I imagined it. But currently the only way to put money in the wallet is with donations. I'd like to see a automated tax system like EVE has. The society leader could set the tax percentage and then it is automatically taken from any income each member makes.

3) Role hierarchy. There's no way to order the roles, but they do still contain some sort of order. For example, I can as a Society Leader create a role with identical options. But when I assign the new roll it's subordinate to leader in so much as I can't assign myself back.

I tried breaking it.... It's pretty rock solid, or my imagination isn't crazy enough.

Thanks, guys! Kingtiger, I recall your suggestions and they're good ones. They're not going to make it in for 2.6, but we'll certainly keep them in mind for the future.

Eggzie, I guess time will tell whether your imagination or that of our QA is solid enough...

There hasn't been a program invented I couldn't find a bug in. I'll give it a shot.

Having taken another look I'd recommend allowing all roles, including the default ones to be renamed.

Additionally the Society Leader role should be marked with an icon to show it is the 'root' account and an 'are you sure' confirmation added for adding and removing people from that role.

I did some messin' with a soc leader changing roles into a role that doesnt allow leader actions. It switches someone else to a leader, what's the criteria for that?

Some for the post spam I keep playing with it and having more ideas.
I love the salary system, it allows you to give people access to the bank without them being able to run off with the lot.

Any chance of having the same system with influence. That way you can give people access to the pot but in reasonable amounts, stopping them doing a runner with the lot.

You always need somebody to be the society leader.
