Are we really just “Basic” Users? Let start off by reading the definition of the word Basic.



Is that what we really are, Plain and unsophisticated. The answer to that question is my opinion and I’m sure in many people’s opinion is NO!

Examples:


These two users just were two guys who came to the site and started to comment on Articles. But then they wanted to go farther, they were dedicated to go farther. And look at them now, trusted users.

We also have these two users



They’re not “Basic”. Dr Doom is a writer he takes time out of his day to write great stories for us to read. That’s not plain or unsophisticated, that’s Genius! (Also make sure you check them out at the link below). Pasto, a man who takes time out of his day to write up Great 101’s for the site, reviews, and more. (Also check out his fansite when you get the chance.) But they just don’t do it for the fame, they do it because they enjoy doing it, and to satisfy the people with something good to read every day.

 https://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=Pasto


And These Four Users Who are just on the site to bring some life to it! 
 

Just because some of these users does not post as much articles does not mean they are unsophisticated, they are ingenious!

Even the Users we don’t even see often have a goal and are dedicated to do something.


 So where not Basic, Were not Plain, Simple, or unsophisticated, were Citizens. Citizens of a Community (CBM) . Each Citizen has their own unique qualities and skills. Therefore, I will use this article to try to make a change to the Site, to make us Citizens!

You're putting way too much thought into the use of the word "Basic".

I think it'd be cool if we had the ability to type up what we are. What I mean is, they add a feature in the account section where you can type in a box what you'd like to be considered as, and it will change. But, they could prohibit fowl language or someone who wants to try to pass as a basic user or a power user or an administrator.

Ex. I could type '(Soldier of Fortune)' in that little area, and thats what I would be considered as.

If they did that, that'd be awesome.

If they added the feature idea I said, they could allow users to really personalize their accounts.

Doop's right, though. Keep it up, mate, and you'll be a Trusted User before you know it.

You've been doing a great job so far, NightWatcher.

:D

This is so stupid. If users seriously care this much about the meaningless words of "basic" vs "trusted", I think you're getting a little too obsessed. Try finding other movie sites to visit and get news from in addition to CBM. Branch out a little. Be part of other online communities too. Be normal.

For some of us, Basic is an improvement.

You guys are lucky they didn't go with "special needs users"..that was the original plan;)


Nah but seriously...what? It's just a damn description of your user privileges, you're reading FAR too much into it. But refer to yourselves as citizens by all means..I'll even do it too.

@Pasto

Damn, Pasto you're back? MrBlackJack isn't going to be too happy about this. He and his Dead Rabbit Gang, were all celebrating your death. Even death couldn't defeat the great Pasto. Pasto lives!

I take the word basic as the highest of honors. I also second pastos idea. "The Most Basic User" "Basically Always Drunk User"

@ dethpillow

lol, rank them by fruit...

Would that make me an apple user, or banana user?

wait...banana user sounds fruity

wait...i guess it SHOULD sound fruity...

Now i'm confused.

Wolf38 - 4/14/2014, 11:59 AM
Honestly, it's never occurred to me to put much thought into user-labeling here.

@BlackJack

They took it down because he's still here. A fact that causes much sadness to the CBM Community.
