I saw this on a forum I went to several years ago, and I haven't seen it since, but how about a usergroup for exceptionally good members that don't yet deserve to be moderators? Y'know, so they're just not another member; they deserve respect. (This is a little personal, because on most forums I go to I'm terrible at managing to become a moderator. )

sounds complicated
but it really depends if MyBB can support it.

Really, it's just an extra group with no additional permissions that the admin (in this case Timby) puts certain members in.

This sounds cool. If Timby DOES do this, I hope I get in that group!

Ive seen it on some forum me to

I don't mind this idea and it wouldn't be too tricky to implement either. I kind of feel that our current user levels reflect this already though. It may take the fun out of levels a little as well in the sense that this new title/status would always stay the same unless that person was promoted to moderator/administrator/something else.

As far as becoming a moderator - there is no right or wrong way to get to this title. The fact is all our previous mods and admins were just really great people that stuck with us for a long time. Being a moderator is based much more on positive contributions to Mario Mayhem then anything else!

Copycating spambots?
...
NO.

Good idea. Certain members (*cough) deserve a little more respect.

I vote yes for this.
