Description

A new user with a few reputation points, is listed as a "Reporter".

Which is very confusing, other Platforms (GitHub, GitLab, some Forums) show posts by the Ticket/Thread creator as "Author" or "Reporter".

And Contributors (Developers) working on the project are shown as "Contributor"


The Reputation ranks using the same name, can lead to confusion.

Users who are not the Author/Reporter/Creator of a ticket, are shown as "Reporter" https://report.bistudio.com/issues/FT-5

And on their next level they would be shown as "Contributor" which could be missunderstood as them being an Employee. Which could also lead to it being abused to impersonate developers and harm other users.


These two reputation levels should be renamed.
