I think these servers should start off with ranks when i first start a server i would like to have in front of my name like guest and move up from there but on this server you are just your name you don't get a rank so those people who have played since the start have no ranks and no one knows how long they have played.

I would be happy to config the ranks for you and set up autorank for you as well if you wish.

All the servers on Minetown have types of ranks. Just it would clutter chat completely to have every single rank, role, and custom prefix added to a person's name. If you want to know how long someone has played, use "/seen".

btw, you brought this up on my server (Pearl) from the get-go of logging in for the first time, before you even moved up from the guest (spirit) rank. Here's a hint, if the only way you can determine how to act with other members is by their rank prefix, then my server is not for you. Ranting at my admin about how you think ranks are absolutely necessary and that staff must be lazy to not make a big show of them is not the way to go about making a case for something.

I just said "is" the staff lazy or something and i had moved i had played for about 5 minutes and why do you not want ranks? I have seen servers like that it does not cluster names as long as there is no bold your fine.

Why do we need ranks? To determine noobs from vets? New to the server doesnt mean new to the game. Why should it matter? If a person has good or bad advice judge them by the merits of their comments, not some vanity tag in front of their name.

We do have prefixes for users who donated a lot on Classic and Agharta. Donators also have a prefix on Prison as long as they donated $5 or more. Staff have prefixes on all servers. However, it was never necessary to say someone was a member, or even the amount of time they have been with Minetown. Guests on the greylisted servers do have <Guest> in front of their names, as you pointed out. As another example, Prison has prefix for new players on that server.

Minetown is not "other servers". We have our own way of doing things, and its worked extremely well so far. Also, before this goes any further, let me point something out to you that is in our rules:

The prefixes that are available on the servers are what's available right now. Please don't escalate this any further, as you may find yourself in violation of the red and bold points in the quote.

Thank you.

Ok you guys made fair points but i would still like to see a starter rank! Just think about it please and thank you!

There is no need for a "starter" rank? You are guest, thats what you start as, then you go to member after you donate/apply. Thats how you get started. No need to think about it.

No i mean like have in front of my name why not it takes like 1 minute to set up?

Guests have tags infront of their name....

I know i want tags infront of there names
