Question about Roles

Post by NoreoAlles »

So i and many other new users seem to have "prole" as role and some guys have "party member", "mod", "admin" or "citizen". I know why theres "mod" and "admin" roles but whats the difference between "citizen" and "prole"?

A better question imo is "What even is a prole?"

I've always wondered what a prole is but was afraid to ask because I thought only a prole would not know what a prole was.

It's a short form of proletariat in English, or a term for child or offpsring in other languages.

Yep, it's an old forum thing that you don't see much these days. At most it's just bragging rights.

Hahhaha :crazy: Woah. The most I've heard of proles is in 1984 (Orwell) which is the name of the people that are so low in the ranks their not even considered human. *Nervous laughter*

Heh, at least it's not Lovebaby (tigsource's lowest rank is TigBaby, has a man-baby avatar and everything).
The risk I took was calculated,
but man, am I bad at math.

...no?

Proletariat (noun)
- Working-class people regarded collectively (often used with reference to Marxism).
- The lowest class of citizens in ancient Rome.

The proletariat (/ˌproʊlɪˈtɛəriət/; from Latin proletarius 'producing offspring') is the social class of wage-earners, those members of a society whose only possession of significant economic value is their labour power (their capacity to work).[1] A member of such a class is a proletarian. (or prole for short)

Not sure how that translates to child/offspring unless you meant "prole" in some languages mean that, which is interesting :v
