@theandyreport –

Putting members into different categories isn’t a built in feature.

You could perhaps implement your requirement using groups, i.e. assigning your celebrities to a group. You’d then have to do a fair bit of template / loop manipulation, and enabling / disabling features dependent on whether members were in the group or not.

If @modemlooper finds something with roles, it would be interesting. However, similarly to grouping, you would still probably have to do a fair bit of template manipulation to enable / disable features based on role.
