What are the standard user role names that a majority of sites could all use? Below is a list of the best roles that I could think of (in order of importance). But I am hoping to find at least ten role names for a user system I am working on.

:UPDATED:

admin    //Manage everything
manager  //Manage most aspects of the site
editor   //Scheduling and managing content
author   //Write important content
contributors//Authors with limited rights
moderator    //Moderate user content
member   //Special user access
subscriber   //Paying Average Joe
user     //Average Joe

Another thing that I'm interested in, is whether or not these names translate over correctly into other languages.

To get to the aspect of content production:

editors //Doing some stuff beyond writing: scheduling and managing content
contributors //Authors with limited rights

Nice, there can be more than just "authors" after all.

Old question, answer already given, but hell, why not?

critic // can rate and review content, but not create original content
ambassador // site rep for external communications, has access to site email, PR materials
guest // duh
emeritus // retired key users who no longer contribute, but whose contributions are honored
