đź’ˇDescribe your Feature request
I would like to suggest roles with specific icons to distinguish standard users / loyal users / moderators / and admin. For example, if we will be able to create a role "verified" with icon such as on twitter or Facebook, it will be great. It doesn't necessarily has to have any special feature or access control. It can have same permission as a user, but users in this role will have icon in front of their names. It will be great overall for user management, and to avoid mistakenly deleting content of users who has been there since a long time or are a paying user. Additionally, it will allow users to feel elevated in role who has been with us since the beginning, or has better standing with website owner / or has a verbally communicated agreement to allow uploading certain images which would generally be against TOS. As website grows bigger it is hard to keep track of everyone. We don't always recognize someone with their username, because their actual name or email name where the communication takes place is different.
Besides it will be great addition when in-built comment is introduced in v4 (or 5).

Ideally, it would be great if roles can be customizable by website admin, i.e. admin can create new roles (with same permission as users) and add their own icons to it. However, Just to test this feature at the beginning, we can have it simple. There can be system defined roles with default icons without any customizability. If it works well, rodolfo can determine whether it should be developed further, or this idea should be dropped for v4 or 5 (depending on the route chevereto takes).
There should be at least 1 more role other than user because we want to differentiate normal registered users and more loyal users. Maybe we call it "verified" (but it can be anything else).
So, user / verified / manager / Admin.

- User (no icon)
- Verified (same permission as user but with icon)
- Manager can have their own icon
- Admin can have their own icon and maybe red text for username. But, I think most admins wants to be anonymous; so, for in initial testing phase it should be left as is. Or, there should be setting to turn it on/off.
