    Or, here's an idea.

    Why not just put an extra tab in that says. (Citizen) would save trouble. Sure its a few extra letters. But who cares?!?!

    +1, I beleive some colors should be changed, because sometimes i see a VIP but i think they's Helpers, so, long story short, I have messaged to many VIP's.

    Why not keep things traditional?

    In addition, I would prefer the old fashioned "Trial-Mod" instead of "Helper"

    Horrible Idea Cause Then New Members Will not Know What Your Rank Is.

    Ehhh how is 'Trial-Mod' better? 'Helper' perfectly describes the current role, whereas 'Trial-Mod' described the old role; they are actually completely different roles.

    'Helper' constitutes someone who primarily helps with modreqs and generally assists the server and the other staff members. There is no definite time between becoming a Helper and becoming a Mod, and you need to apply for Moderator in order to become one. You could stay a Helper indefinitely if you so wish. A Helper is as much a part of the team and has as many chances as other staff members. They do not have a 'trial' period to prove themselves to the team; they are a part of it from the start. Their merit is based upon all of their work and the quality of their work, rather than the amount of modreqs they do.

    'Trial-Mod', on the other hand, is someone who is in a training or trial period before becoming a full Moderator. I believe in the first Meepcraft, the trial period was between 1-2 weeks. If you were not up to par at the end of that, you were demoted. If you were up to par, you were promoted to Moderator. 'Up to par' in this case generally meant doing nothing but modreqs and modreqs and more modreqs. No matter how good of a job you did, generally your promotion was based upon your modreq count. You were forced to either be demoted or be promoted; you could not stay a Trial-Mod forever. You did not need to apply for Moderator, as it would be handed to you depending on what you did as a Trial-Moderator.

    Do you see the difference? Not to mention that Trial-Mod is associated with a time when nearly all of the staff members abused their power in some way, shape or form, leaving me reluctant to accept it back as a term used when our current staff team is miles ahead of what that one was.

    Here's a good quote by a person who was actually staff at the time of it's use;
    Anyways, signing off. This is a lot off topic, but I felt the need to address it and nip it in the bud before it got out of hand :)

    I agree with this. Also, I think there should be a non-donor rank with no perks for Citizens who have actively played Meepcraft for a ceartian amount of time. The rank could be called "Veteran" or "Regular" or something like that. It wouldn't do anything other than show up in chat. It would just be a way for the rare citizens that are not noobs (like me) to show that. I just hate how everyone assumes I am a nooby, stupid 10 year old just cause I have no rank. In reality, I am rankless simply because I do not spend money on in-game purchases, because when the game stops working or I get bored with it, there is no way to get back the money that I spent.

    Did you even read my thread? The chat would still be purple for supreme and orange for ultimate. It would just look like this : ChaaseOG: This is the way it should be.

    Don't bump your threads. It is annoying and nobody likes it.

    Why would they ban me because you bumped a thread?

    I don't mind it. Therefore I just proved your logic wrong.

    If a thread is good, people will read it. If people are not reading it, obviously they do not want to read the thread, so don't bump the thread to try to get people to read it when they don't want to. If they want to read the thread, they will, and if they don't want to, then bumping it just annoys them.

    Often times with threads, there is so much content that it will get buried. Bumping it is a way to revive the discussion.
