Discourse has different levels of trust/interaction for users. You can read more about that below. Right now, our only groups are …

Editors (our staff)
PFB+ (PFB+ folks)

I would love to create 3-4 more groups based on trust level/participation. The problem? We need names (and possibly badges like the + or the maple leaf) for those 3-4 groups. Would love to hear suggestions based on how many good ones there were in trying to name this place.

In order:
Editors - Maple leaf
Sheriffs - OSU Badge - I like this because it requires mod promotion
Deputies - orange star - this fits as the ‘Regular’ category
Posse - lasso - Member
Council - PFB+/+ sign (as now) - PFB member
Townsfolk - everyone else - Basic

Seems pretty easy to me!

What are you thinking as far as criteria for each trust level? Time spent viewing? Number of posts? Number of likes received? Some type of combination?

Ok, I think I landed on this.

Staff w/ avatar
Moderator w/ avatar (invite only)
Captain w/ avatar (invite only)
Senior
Junior
Soph.

There’s a clear progression and rewards at each level. Everybody who is PFB+ also gets an avatar and will automatically be installed at junior level.

Well all I know is today I got something called ‘captain’ and access to some kind of VIP Lounge? I want to know where this lounge is, and will I have access to small cocktail nuts, a continental breakfast that is put away by 8:15AM, an obstructed window view of the building’s air conditioning equipment on the rooftop below me and a TV permanently tuned to Fox News or CNN?

I’d like a group called Dizzy’s Dudes.

@marshall, Groups inherently have a definition of multiple participants baked into them. Otherwise, that’s just your title. :slight_smile:

So is Senior the new Level 3 trust level?

Correct.

So am I inherently lest trustworthy if I don’t use an avatar? Asking for a friend.

Edit… my friend doesn’t want to pay for expensive headshots like the Head Chimp or Eddy.
