Maybe there can be a change of "Member" -> "Bhaalspawn" in terms of forum role names?

https://blog.vanillaforums.com/help/how-to/differentiate-members-using-roles-ranks/ describes how an admin can change role names.

Right now forumites have roles "Member", "Moderator", "Administrator", "Developer" and so on (as seen on a personal page of every forumite).

Maybe there can be a change of a role name "Member" to a role name "Bhaalspawn", to reflect that this is a Baldur's Gate forum?

I like the extra flavor, but

we need to keep in mind that the term "Bhaalspawn" is kind of a spoiler. There may be forumites who are just starting to play BG1 for the first time and haven't played BG2 yet, although admittedly that sounds crazy in 2015.

How easily we tend to forget...

So... it's OK to have extra flavor which doesn't spoil? Then I propose a particularly honourable theme for our esteemed forumites:

"Member" -> "Gray Ooze"
"Moderator" -> "Ochre Jelly"
"Administrator" -> "Mustard Jelly"
"Developer" ->"Fission Slime"

How about:

Wizard slayer
Barbarian
Sorcerer
Kensai>Mage

Nimran

Or...
Ferret Lord
Ferret Force Fiver
Ferreteer
everyone else
