I recently saw a rank that I have not seen in a long time. The Bungie.net Super user. I have no idea what this is. Is it bungie employees? or people who have helped out alot with programming or something? Moderators that have been around from ever?

I ahve only seen 2 of these people. Sawnose being one. He used to do the Caption contests. And weresnail. Who I don't know anything about.

So who are they?

P.S. they got the cool yellow text too. Lucky guys and/or gals.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

I can't remember the extent of their powers but it's vast. Achronos once posted about it and to sum it up, they usually help him with the site by adding and editing content, implementing features, and fixing bugs. I believe they're only a step or two down on the totem pole below the Overlord.

Maybe they're like ghosts in the machine.

Well Kusanagi does have an artificial body, and in Ghost in the Shell 2 She is even a part of the intarwebzzz, and she does have a "ghost".

Stop looking at me like that!
Anyway, I thought Super users actually were Bungie employees who just happen to have an B.net account. But I'm not too sure about that.

Not true for all employees. Fact. At a guess i'd say more specifically web team employees...

Me thinks just another fan has been talking to surge ;]

That's possible too. And no, I haven't been talking to Surge lately.

A superuser is a user that can fly and has x-ray vision. Having x-ray vision is the reason you don't see them post here often... because... y'know... they are doing other thing.

he doesn't have super intelligence at all. In fact, after years of study, i've found he has something completely different: super stupidity. Yes, he can punch through a wall and bend metal and fly, but does he know how many fingers he has, or how to really use them meaningfully? nope.

A bungie.net superuser is someone who, for the purposes of their job, needs to have "Superuser" level access to this site (as in, they are not subject to any security restrictions). Very few people need superuser access - I try and make sure it isn't necessary for most things. For example, it isn't needed to post new top stories, but it is needed to delete a user or group.

Are you above them or are you equal with them or lower?

So do employees of Bungie have the same power?
