Can we have a select box to chose type of users (user level) that will sync with Mailchimp?
By default, ANY user registered on ANY site gets synced to Mailchimp. However, many of the Mailchimp campaigns I (the network admin) need to send pertain to the site owner/admin, and not necessarily their authors or their subscribers.
In fact, their authors or their subscribers don't even know we exist behind the scenes in many cases.
For example, several of our (sub-blog) users have MarketPress stores, and when someone registers on their site as a part of the checkout process, they then become eligible to get synced with our Mailchimp list. 99% of the time those users (along with most subscribers, contributors, and authors) don't need to be on our Mailchimp list.

Another potential solution might be to use Gravity Forms on the WP signup page in place of the default signup form (since Gravity Forms interfaces with Mailchimp already). Not sure if that would break the "Pro Sites" (Supporter) signup process or not.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your suggestion, sounds like a good idea. I'll tag the developer so he can have a look when he gets a moment.
Meanwhile, any other +1s on this?

@Aaron - I know this is a tricky problem. See my post on this thread:
