Name tags for the ranks
« on: December 30, 2013, 05:21:31 am »
I think the server should add name tags for all the ranks not just admin and mod and op and what I mean is so this is not so confusing is like for example [Trusted]isabella1633: not just isabella1633: and also for the other ranks to like Member and Guest. Also I think it would save a lot of time explaining to other people what there rank is :)  ;D

We used to have this but I think it was removed when titles were introduced? That would cause even more confusion. Though it may have been another reason.

Also, if someone's confused, tell them to do /ranks.

Your opinion is noted, izzy123.

Here's the thing:
The usernames are coloured to distinguish ranks, other than aesthetic purposes.
The nametag idea of yours offer nothing much other than redundancy. The /ranks command is available to clear up any confusion.

Besides, there are customizable titles as donation perks. Having two nametags would sound ridiculous.

We used to have all the ranks have their own title, but when we introduced custom titles we got rid of it.

I believe the only reason staff still had nametags designating their rank (when they don't have titles enabled) is so that lazy players who don't know that we have a command like /ranks can know who's a mod and who's not by simply seeing the default "[Moderator]" tag or "[Operator]" tag.
