More User Categories

Just a suggestion, but maybe have more user categories other than just Peon and Grunt.

This is, of course, for the regular, non-mod, non-Alien users.

I'm sure the folks here can come up with some great suggestions, if you guys don't have any already in mind.

From another BBS:
"hmm... Cyrix III, huh? You can put syrup on sh*t, but that don't make it pancakes."

 

Thanks for the suggestion,

We're considering this, perhaps as early as the next update, depending on how easy it goes. Hopefully it will be available in the next few days or so?

Everyone is welcome to list some cool user levels right here in this thread if they wish, you might just get yours selected. .

Current levels are Alien Master (admin), Alien Apprentice (mods), Alien Grunt (members with 25 posts), and Alien Peon (those with under 25 posts). We'll add a bunch, just give us some good ones. .

rainbow. ...and Midian is where the monsters live." -Nightbreed]

 

*bump*

This code is basically done...

Recommend the status levels you would like to see please (about 10-12 of them) and I'll have them going next update... .

Alien Commander, Alien Guard, Alien Hive, etc... Ideas people!

How about:
Alien Worker
Alien Drone

Let's be honest: we're all really drones around here anyway. .

From another BBS:

A grunt is sorta a worker. .

I like drone and hunter, c'mon everyone, give me moreeeeeeee!

Early ones could be Alien Bait or Alien Meal (reference to the Alien movie series)

Alien Probe?? (ouch)

Alien Invasion?

Alien Invader?

Ok, not so great ideas...

Definitely NOT Alien Elite... Please, I'd have to shoot someone if that is a level .

Scotty, the native people here ARE friendly... (AnandTech IS Suck!)

 

alien gatekeeper?

alien spider?????

oh heck, i can't think ... give me a few more days to mull this over.

------------------
"it's easier to stay out than get out"

 

Keep 'em coming. .

...and I think we'll leave anything 'elite' off the list. .

Some of my favorites you've mentioned are drone, hunter, commander, invader, in addition to some others I've previously added.

I'm going to put a couple more hours into some more code updates tonight, I really gotta get this up soon. . Just a few more bug fixes and 1 more hack to finish this weekend...

Then I can finally concentrate more on the other areas of the site as well.

Few more...

From another BBS:

Of the ones that've been posted, I like Commander, Drone, and Hunter...

And there's just something about "Alien Prober"...sounds kinda sick at first, but it grows on you...

Plus, it can either mean the best of the best (I mean, come on, who's going to mess with a Prober) or the lowest of the low (I mean come on, who wants to be a Prober)...

Just my $0.02 .


------------------
My knob tastes funny.

 

Looking forward to this enhancement!! Are we there yet? Are we there yet!??

Soon. . Now that my net is back up (read announcements) I can put the finishing touches and bug fixes into effect. .

------------------
Alien - Administrator / Owner
["Everything was true. God was an alien. Oz really is over the
rainbow. ...and Midian is where the monsters live." -Nightbreed]

 

These are the ones we like so far:

Abductee, Larvae, Peon, Grunt, Drone, Hunter, Soldier, Invader, Prober, Commander, Overlord, Hive Mind

These don't include the admins or moderators.

What do you think?

sounds good
maybe you could do like
"Alien Overmind" could be you
and "Alien Overlords" could be mods
(me play starcraft? never .)

Have you decided what post #s would correspond to each of the user categories?

I need to get going on these posts. Don't want to get stuck as an Alien Prober (There's just nothing attractive about being a "Prober"-eeeew).

*Probee or Prober- Which line will you be standing in?*
