No forum URL given as this is a suggestion for all forums.
By "Timed Member Groups", I simply mean that, when Staff adds someone into a Member Group (this would be intended mostly for just Private and Hidden Groups), they are presented with a mini calendar (much the same when adding an event on the Calendar) to select when the Member will be automatically removed from the Group. The idea behind this is where Staff could issue "temporary passes" into a board (or boards) for view / access / create thread / post replies / create polls (all based off of the board's permission settings). Such a feature could allow Staff to have such items in the Monetary Shop, for example, to where someone could "buy" (via Monetary System "money") permissions to enter board(s) they wouldn't normally have access to. The benefit would be that the Staff would not need to remember when their "paid time" expired to remove a person from that Member Group. There are, of course, other possibilities for this that other forum owners may think of to make use of this.
It was this thread ( support.proboards.com/thread/577126/select-poll-voters ) that had helped prompt me to post this idea (I had been tossing it around in my head for awhile now).
Thoughts?
