Comment (by zoonini):

 Totally agree that "Subscriber" is confusing and can be improved.

 My vote would be for "Registered" as the word makes the role capability
 fairly self-evident.

 I also like "Participant," but you can participate in (most) sites without
 being a registered user, so I think "Registered" is more precise.

 "Member" is also descriptive, except (as discussed a bit in Slack) it
 could be confused for being a member on a site with a membership plugin,
 so that ambiguity should probably be avoided.
