Ideas for usergroups

[GamerPerfection]

Ok so I recently installed vB Experience on to my forums which is a mod that records a users activity and awards them and stuff like that.

Now one of the things i'm looknig at doing is creating a few new usergroups whereby people will automatically get promoted in to them as they advance through the vB Experience points. This is what i am looking at:

Registered Users - this will be the default group all new members will join in. They will be able to do the usual stuff like read and post in the forums, read CMS articles and post comments and make blogs. They will also be able to view but NOT play the arcade.

Pro Usergroup - same as Registered Users but will also be able to PLAY the arcade.

Pro Gamer Usergroup - same as Pro Usergroup but will also have the ability to give themselves a Custom Secondary User Title that will appear in their 'postbit' on the Forums.

Now what i am asking is what other special abilities can I give these usergroups when people get promoted in to them? I want it to be worthwhile for people to be active.

Please note that these are not Premium Memberships as I don't do those on my forums.

Any suggestions?

Users will do anything for a coloured username, don't make the system too complicated though. If I were you I would just do one promotion to a 'pro' usergroup.

Ok, based on that then i'm looking at making a 'Pro Gamer' usergroup that has a coloured title, ability to play the arcade, and gives ability to have a custom secondary title.

Thanks for the tips. Very quick too. 😀

Yeah that sounds good. A few extra features and distinction from the usual riffraff will make them want to become one.

Do you think disabling signatures for Registered Users and enabling signatures for the Pro Gamer usergroup is a good idea?

I already have some users with signatures.

Don't disable signatures for Registered Users, It will drive them away. You could possibly add more Signature space for the Pro Gamer Usergroup though.
