Give colours by Joinable groups

[ROHAN]

Have a few usergroups with fixed colours and make the group type 'Open".

I have implemented this on my test forum and I think it is better than post ranks giving colours. All that the user needs to do is go to Groups and select a colour group to join. Here is an example:-




I think this is a better system for the following reasons:-

- The user can choose a colour he/she wants and won't be stuck with a certain rank colour.
- The staff don't need to do any work as the user will do it manually.

You can already buy a username colour at the FJ shop.

I don't think we need to implement this at the moment, as 1) if people don't like their post rank colour, they can change it from buying a shop item, 2) it's not a lot of work for me to go and add someone's username colour, and 3) we're going to get requests for "why isn't this colour available?".

And if people don't like the colour they have, post lots to get to the next colour

Just wanted to post:-

1- The colour shop item is expensive. At least in my opinion a user will have to spam a lot in order to get the required money to buy that item. Also you cannot change manually between the post ranks that you have so it is kind of restrictive.

2- Automated is far better than manual but I understand.

3- If you add a few basic ones, I don't see people going around asking why there is not a specific colour. Like make all the post rank colours joinable and people can switch colours as they wish on thier own. For example someone in FJ Legend can switch his group and use a colour from FJ Junior.
