just remembered, a similar system actually comes from vrchat
Enjoy a system PG can take inspiration!
in the case of PG instead of Visitor to Trusted User basically what @JG suggested, we change the ranking to for example:
people who follow each other get a client-side label saying something like “Mutuals” replacing VRChat’s “Friend” ranking system instead of showing anything below (or we can keep it as “Friend”)
(*)(normally a professional rank may go up but I dont think we should proclaim users and staff as professionals so we can just not add it)
↑Veteran
↑Rookie
↑Newbie
↑Just getting started
all of this is not something to be chosen by the user but rather like vrchat, it is automated and ranked based on similar factors to the social vr game (which in this case is activity in PG with the ability of manual override by the staff and based on staff’s assessment of the user)
