Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Admin name change

Aside from a possible confusion about the terms to people, it seems like a good idea. Not sure about "deckhands/chiefs" though. Maybe "deckhand/officer", "commander/admiral"? Or to go with the mop motif "mopster", "mopboy" or something along those lines? --Serenity 09:51, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Bah edit conflict lost my comments (IE ftl). My point was that the ideas you posted Joe are all enlisted not officer ranks. Perhaps it would be best to have the following?

• Joe - Commander
• Bcrats - Colonel
• Sysops - Major
• Trusted - Ensign
• Bots - Deckhand (bot)

I am also liking the squeegie/mopboy titles --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 09:56, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

I want to be a Lieutenant, especially since it doesn't seem to carry any responsibility. :P --Slander 10:03, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Ranks sound like a good idea. A problem is that the user data template has a rank field now and anyone can give themselves a rank for whatever reason. We'd need to distinguish those from the official admin-like ranks. --Serenity 10:07, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

I agree that there could be a lot of confusion. Rather than assigning ranks, we could assign job types, like knuckledraggers, snipes, Viper jocks, and the ever-beloved mopboy. --Slander 10:14, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
