I'm really into the whole group thing, so I was just wondering what you fellow group founders have as your ranks...

Well i try to advise going for security role names that are mostly well suited to your chapter.
So for example, for The Guide i have roles that fall under different catagories:

System Role: -(even if names or attributes/powers are modified)

NonMember
Member
*Editor in Chief

Extra Roles:

Field Researcher
Editor
B.net Moderator
B.net Online Team
B.net Employee

Special Roles: -(Usually given to one or two people though this is not the case for all)

Sir.Reig [Ex-Mod]

The * indicates a full power security role

So, i've just noticed i have a problem with one of my roles, but you get the idea.

Also military ranks tend to work well also. So like Private, Lt. , Sgt. , Master Chief, Commaander and Cheif.

I have a sniper group and the ranks are:
Sniper Level 1
Sniper Level 2
Sniper Level 3
Sniper Lt.
Staff
Training Commander
Commander
Specialist Commander
*Sniper Master/Leader

---------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to add that ranks are limited to a certain amount of charecters. So pick wisley....

Some other good ideas are

Basic Member
Active Member
Special Member
Moderator
Master Mod.
Admin

Or you could just use the basic ranks which work well for small groups

Non-Member
Member
Admin.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

Some ranks fall into place, others require a bit of thought. Mine were a bit of both.

Normal ranks for my group fell into place:
Student
Philosopher

The moderator ranks were a bit harder. Since I often referred to my group as a "table":
Table Bouncer
Table Guard

And administrator ranks were simple:
Name of any famous philosopher (I took the name Socrates)

Since my chapter is called "The Bar", it was really easy to pick ranks:

Tee-Totaller - those who have left the chapter
Punter - your garden-variety member
Bouncer - moderator
Lovable Drunk, Real Ale Drinker & Power Ranger - special roles - guess who has which
Landlord - administrator

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

in MBT we use Navy Ranks for the most part.

I don't. I don't give special titles or "ranks" to my users. Nor do I give users more priveledges than posting in the forum and submitting news.

"Safety First." Sensible approach to things. I also agree with this..sort of. Although i have several security roles, all get only the powers they need to fulfil their job. Infact, 9/10 of my roles are also only forum posting and news submitting. It is a shame many forget this.

Actually though, there’s a fantastic saying I heard the other day that we must not forget either. “Trust is good, but control is better.” Appropriate, i feel, for the computing world.
