Membergroups

[Kelly]

Members on this forum are assigned to different groups according to how many posts they have made. These are displayed below the member's name to the left of their posts.  Currently the groups are:

Newbie
Jr Member
Full Member
Sr Member
Hero Member

I have been considering changing these to more fitness orientated terms.  So far I have come up with:-

Newbie
Warming Up
In Training
Champion
Superstar

What do you all think?  Have you got any better ideas?  Or should it just get left as it is?

[JWJ]

It's a GREAT idea and something I'd like to do in my own forum. (I just can't think of any suitable grades)

Your suggestions are brilliant and so fitting for a Keep Fit forum. It's a shame you can't change 'Newbie' but I can't think of any sensible and appropriate alternative.

Also, I don't know what levels you have set but may I suggest you review them to make sure that members can quite quickly move up through the ranks, at least as far as 'In Training'. People like to feel they're getting somewhere.

I had thought of using Warming Up for Newbie, but then couldn't think of another intermediate grade. Perhaps:

Warming Up
In Training
In Competition
Champion
Superstar

[JWJ]

Yes.

Or, given what happens before Warming Up, what about "In the Changing Room" or "Stepping Up" for the Newbie?

"Working out" is another, but not sure what order it would come in. What about "Contender"?

[Kelly]

Great suggestions John

So it could be:

In the Changing Room
Warming Up
In Training
Contender
Champion
Superstar

I think I like it

OK I've changed the membergroup names, but I'm not telling how many posts you need to progress from one to the next 

If anyone has any other ideas for membergroup names, don't be shy, do share them with us all
