People
Everyone who has signed in and joined this site. Changing a tier or suspending somebody takes effect on their next request. Nothing here sends an email.
Nobody has joined yet. The account page is where they sign up.
Tiers
What the tiers are called and which outranks which. The lowest rank is what new members join at. Leave this alone and the site uses Member, Premium and Admin at 10, 20 and 30.
Members-only items
What appears in the members area. This is the only place private words belong: it is fetched by the reader’s browser and the database decides whether they may have it, so it is never written into a page that everybody can download.
Where members-only things appear
The members area is at /members/ and the account page at/account/. Both came with this module.
No other page hides anything from non-members yet.Anything hidden that way is still inside the page for anyone who looks at its source, so it is a courtesy rather than a lock. Private words go in the list above.
