Future New Underground Membership Criteria

Recently I did what I was hesitant to do for years, I purged all forum Underground (UG) members who had not been active within a certain period.

We need to change the UG membership criteria (from mod voting) and create a new criteria for UG membership which is not based on "voting" because mods are often busy and not inclined to vote on every member unless asked to vote. This is not really fair to member or moderators. So, I have a new TODO to make entry into the forum Underground based automatic based on a combination of various metrics, TBD.

I have not created the metrics yet, but it will be a combination of things like:

Number of Posts
Number of Thanks from Other Users
Number of Thanks Given to Other Users
Time a Member
Recent Activity
Infractions
Bug Hunter Team Badge

Basically, when a member has a certain number of posts, thanks and time as a member, no active mod infractions, and have reported a verified bug in the forums at least once, they will be automatically promoted to UG member with extra permissions, edit privileges, and other benefits, TBD.

When a UG member is inactive for a certain number of months, they will be automatically demoted back to the "Registered Users" group.

If anyone (including Ravinder, hint hint) would like to suggest the criteria for this automatic promotion to the UG, please reply with your suggested criteria.

Group membership limit

On Solaris, a user is limited to being a member of a maximum of 16 groups. Could someone tell me where this limit comes from, i.e. is it NIS, or Solaris, or NFS that is imposing this limit? What is the work-around to remove this limitation?

LEARN ABOUT OSX

mbr_check_service_membership

MBR_CHECK_MEMBERSHIP(3) 				   BSD Library Functions Manual 				   MBR_CHECK_MEMBERSHIP(3)

NAME

     mbr_check_membership, mbr_check_service_membership -- check whether a user is a member of a group or service ACL

SYNOPSIS

     #include <membership.h>

     int
     mbr_check_membership(uuid_t user, uuid_t group, int *ismember);

     int
     mbr_check_service_membership(uuid_t user, const char *service, int *ismember);

DESCRIPTION

     mbr_check_membership() tests if a given user is a member of a group (either direct or indirect via a nested group).  ismember is set to 1 if
     the user is a member or 0 if not a member of the group.  mbr_check_service_membership() similarly tests if a given user is a member of a ser-
     vice ACL group.  Service ACLs are special groups defined with the prefix "com.apple.access_".  The service is then prefixed (e.g., "afp"
     would check "com.apple.access_afp").  There is a special group that grants accessto all services called "com.apple.access_all_services".

     Users may belong to any number of groups.	mbr_check_membership() should always be used to check group membership, rather than calling
     getgroups(2) or getgrouplist(2).  The setgroups(2) and getgroups(2) routines are limited to a fixed number of gids, and so may not include
     all of a user's groups.

     There are two special cases.  If the two uuids are equal, then ismember is set to 1.  If the group uuid is equal to the reserved "everyone"
     uuid (ABCDEFAB-CDEF-ABCD-EFAB-CDEF0000000C), then ismember will be set to 1 for any valid user.

     Group membership information is managed by opendirectoryd(8).

RETURN VALUES

     mbr_check_membership() does not test whether group exists or not.	Querying membership for a nonexistent group will result in ismember being
     set to 0.	The function returns 0 on success or one of the following error codes on failure:

     [EIO]		Communication with openditectoryd(8) failed.

     [ENOENT]		user can not be found.

     mbr_check_service_membership() is identical to mbr_check_membership() except that ENOENT means no service ACL has been defined.
