Revamping the User Groups

**Casinomeister** · 20th October 2011, 01:18 PM

We are in the process of revamping the forum user groups, in fact expanding them a little.

Up to now, there have only been four levels to work through with not much incentive to do so:

Registered Member
Fully Registered
Senior Member
Meister Member

<yawn>

At each membership level, one has a few extra abilities (can create blogs, go invisible, more space for PMs etc.). But since there were only four levels, it didn't give much room for growth. Plus, these membership levels were made back in the early days of Casinomeister when the site was only a few years old. Membership is based on rep points, postings, and date joined, and back then most people didn't have overwhelming stats.

Anyway, cutting to the chase, we're adding new levels:

Registered Member is now "Noob"
Fully Registered will be "Junior member"
Seasoned Member (or veteran member [can't think of a better name])
Senior Member
Meister Member
and....drum roll please... "Ueber Meister"

Now when this is implemented, some of you may find yourself moved from one group to another. In most cases, you should probably be retaining the same privileges that you had before. The one difference I am aware of now is that going from Noob to Fully Reg is going to take longer, so some members may find themselves back in the "Noob" group

.

When this is finished, we will be publishing a page that details what comes with what membership level. I just wanted to give you a heads up now so you know what's going on.

Bryan -- "Junior" gives me a visual image of somebody about 4 feet tall. Working with job descriptions and employee titles all my professional career; may I suggest you consider:

Noob
Member
Experienced Member
Senior Member
Meister Member
UeberMeister

Just a thought......
