if you're not optimistic there is no reason to life

Excellent way to view life.

Ahem....sluuurrp.

[DarkCloud]

unless of course, you see death as worse than life

Mark, you should be a kind of philosopher! .

So, now with that in mind.. I would like a civ related title...

How about "worker" for mods or admins .

And citizens for the suscribers. They could be scientists, taxmen or enternainers depending on... post count?. Type of subcription? (thinking on future)

[Unspeakable Horror]

I think that "Citizen" would be fine

[MarkG]

hmmm could one be a "King" or an "Emperor" as well as a "Citizen"? doesnt match in my head.....

Subscribers -> "Leader"
Life subscribers -> "Hero"

[DrSpike]

Tbh Mark a Civgroup icon like DC's star does seem the best suggestion to me. It's noticeable but unobtrusive, which is the goal here right?

I'd avoid the cutesy civ-crap. I think it's likely that the majority of cash-paying members could easily be deemed as 'institutionalizable' so 'inmate' seems to fit. As for anyone paying a 'lifetime' membership, I'd think 'idiot with more money than sense' would be appropriate.

[Mercator]

Inmate and lifer only if you change admin to "warden".

(But frankly, I find the badges rather ugly anyway)

[curtsibling]

The badges would be more nice if they had a steel colouring or such.

My vote is 'Citizen' for subscribers.
And 'Hero' for lifetimers.

[Lefty Scaevola]

"has money"

[alva]

"had money"

[Urban Ranger]

Stars would be good too, though they might get confused with the civgroup icons
