Special User 

Used by IT support people when referring to users who need "special attention". Usually non-technical people (especially HR) who:

- do not have any clue how to use a computer

- cannot see the obvious

- cannot read or follow simple instructions

- will constantly complain that "the system is broken" because they don't know how to use it

- don't know what a web browser is (sure sign they are using IE)

- are the very reason people should be licensed before being allowed near a computer

- are the bane of existence for all IT support people

Special Users are not limited to non-IT people. Especially ones who announce that they have 14 years of experience in IT, and then use terms like "reverse backslash".
IT support person 1: "Someone from HR just logged an incident. It says 'I can't can't submit this online form. It keeps giving me an error message. The system must be broken. Can you please investigate?'. And they have included a screenshot which clearly shows that they have not completed a mandatory field . . ."

IT support person 2: *Facepalm* "I'll flag them as a Special User, then send them an email explaining what a mandatory field is and what they need to do to "fix" it."

Discord Power User 

Commonly found with four or more Discord badges, these users seem to think they are the ideal users of Discord, while treating others as inferiors. These users often have a concerning interest in anthropomorphic characters; where said characters manifest themselves in the day to day activity of a power user. Power users always have an active Nitro subscription, which is most likely set to auto-bill at monthly intervals. A power user's profile most likely contains an image or reference to a fictitious anthropomorphic character, while containing a biography which includes the power user's pronouns, neo-pronouns, their exaggerated moderation experience, and various useless tidbits that are heavily frowned upon by the general Discord userbase. While pretending to be oblivious, power users are generally aware of their "popularity" among the platform. The average power user will usually make the facetious claim that "badges are irrelevant and do not matter", while ironically displaying their numerous profile badges. It is advised to avoid interactions with a power user at all cost. If left with no choice, approach a power user with understanding, liberalism, and an intense knowledge of the Discord moderation program.
Jim: Dude! You got so many badges!! How did you get them all?
Moderator: Badges are irrelevant. Refrain from mentioning badges or you will be banned from the server.
Bob: That mod is such a discord power user tbh

miserable user 

"Miserable User" is the name of a hack for Virtual Bulletin message boards. An admin can set a poster to that status to encourage the poster to leave the board.

Here is what happens to a miserable user:

- There is a random 60-120 second delay each time they click on a link.
- 90% of times they have no search engine acccess.
- 75% of the times they get the server too busy error.

If they don't get the server too busy error:
- 50% of the times they may get a blank page
- 30% of the times they may get forwarded to the forum main page
- 20% of the time they may be able to see the page they asked for.
Miserable User is a fate worse than permabanning.
