"Donor" - give money (see donations page for details on what is required for "Donor" status)
"Contributor" - write an article, or contribute a large number of photos to either Caudata Culture or the Magazine.
"Moderator" - selected by John Clare
People who have more than one status (for example, a contributor who is also a donor) have to choose one to display on their profile, as the forum software allows only one "status symbol".
