I am charmed with your offer, it would give him a more animated touch and it stimulates the people to want to grow to be a "supermod", also might be added the stars of user's distinction next to the user who does the post or in the image of the person who answers to a post, like I put in the images of sample.

I like the idea.  Most forums have a similar structure.  But 'dust' for a beginner seems demeaning.

Brilliant... this would be another incentive people to power up or motivate people to participate and become Hero Members or whatever..

THIS would be the best tool by far to upsell people into powering up. Status symbol with additional perks is a genius idea.

Great idea! These kinds of lists and status symbols motivate a lot of people. How about sticking with the aquatic theme? Whales, orcas, dolphins, big fish, little fish, minnows, krill. After all, Steem is what happens when water gets hot.

Steem go to top of projet with steem power and blockchain we win $
I am intersted. Foward & sp wow

Status symbols reminds me of the 2go messenger app I used as a teenager. It was so addictive and we would spend hours trying to move to the next level. Don't like it though. Wait. Why the need for a moderator?

> What names would you use?

In increasing order of SP:

* Pleb
* Nub
* Legit
* Leet
* Whale
* Boss Battle

So whales are moderators? Sounds not good. Mods should be voted as witnesses.

steem-dust
new-steemer
steemer
super-steemer
hero-steemer
power-steemer
ultra-steemer or god-steemer

* Newbie
* Novice
* Rookie
* Beginner
 *   Talented
 *   Skilled
*    Intermediate
 *   Skillful
  *  Seasoned
   * Proficient
   * Experienced
   * Advanced
   * Senior
   * Expert

PS  You can use less of course, choose the best! But I like the idea to use us much us possible  ;)

I'm learning a lot during my first day as a steemian.  Thanks for sharing this idea.  Check out my post in #introduceyourself if you're curious about who @relativityboy has dinner with when he's not in Portugal with @eveuncovered :) Have a Happy New Year! https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@mininthecity/introduceyourself

I've seen this idea floating around however it's really good to see the groups broken down like this. 

I'd go for labels like "superhero" and "legend" instead of "mod" or "supermod"

NB - IF (and I'm not certain it's desirable) Steemit goes down the route of moderators (in the true sense), I don't think this should be based on SP only. It should be reputation based and maybe voted on (a la Witnesses). People being able to 'buy' moderation privileges is probably not a good idea.

Yes I am a newbie/minnow just trying to figure this big water tank out. I would like to swim with the big fish and whales. With sparkling eyes.

Perhaps you could reclass the whole distribution using Fibonacci, with input of the highest & lowest account value and five resistance/support levels at any given moment you recalculate the thresholds.

I agree with @donkeypong and @cryptoctopus This could be a great motivator to people. Great idea!!

Keep in mind, Mods and Powermods are what are destroying reddit. There are groups that will work tirelessly to gain control of this forum.
A lot of thought needs to go into this before removing or granting powers that control users actions and abilities.

>What names would you use?

Personally I like the ones you listed: dust, newbie, user, superuser, etc...

Great article! Where can I find the recent table that shows accounts grouped by log10(SP)? I would like to know how much steempower is required for superuser. Cheers

what are vests?
