Wow this has gained some attention now , hasnt it?? heh, either way i liked the idea because we get a lot of new people joining, and lets face it... not many people actually read the signs. So it would be nice to have experienced players offer help rather than mods being jammed down with ' OmGz, hwo Doaz I Uze Teh Sh0p?' all the time. It would also give them the chance to up the ante and start working on tracking down more people duping and griefing ( mods that is ).
Maybe a better way to do the tag would be have it a different color ( the V ) depending on how old that player is. Say like
V V V V V V V V = should be black but would be hard to see.
color would be based on months, so say, a 4 month player has yellow, and 8 month player has light green etc.
from the current results, its obviously quite a popular idea so if any plugin developers can automate this that would be great!
