Hi there, hopefully this is the right place, I'm a little rusty on using the forums but I had a suggestion that is hopefully possible.

Could it be made so that clan members names were a different colour to guests? If so would it be possible to maybe have that and maybe go even further by making different ranks different colours? (possibly make this a toggle/ custom option)

Or another option would be if a members rank was displayed beside their name like a pmod as they talk.

If anyone is a little confused I would be happy to explain more.

I look forward to hearing everyone feedback on this.

Have a great day.

I think that'd be *really* cool and worthwhile; it would instill a sense of pride in our ranking system, and also promote clannies to do things for the clan, for example capping and/or being helpful, in pursuit of requirements that different ranks have.

What is the purpose of having guests and clan members being different colors? As in, why would it be beneficial--to help with recruitment? I currently don't see a need to differentiate guests from clannies in the clan chat display. I would actually be against such a thing, since it would draw attention to the fact that guests aren't a part of the clan, making them feel different and unwelcome.

I think that different members being different colors would be too confusing :P The only way I'd see that being effective is if the different colors were a gradient, but I think that's too nuanced. I do really like the "chat badge" idea, though, for within clan channels. :) Even if guests don't have an icon, but everyone else does next to their name, I think it'd be worthwhile and nifty. (And because that would differentiate guests in a way that doesn't make them feel so self-conscious)

The main reason was for in big clans to identify possible trouble makers, of course we do have a setting for higher ranks to see that a certain guest has entered the chat. So I guess it could be a useful tool, but then as you said, could also be used to single out a guest, I didn't think about it that way, thanks for your feedback :)

I think there was a suggestion/future update posted somewhere that would display members' ranks next to their names when talking in a Friend Chat or Clan Chat.

Though I can see the good intentions behind your suggestion, I would prefer the rank icons.

EDIT: Found it Mod Hunter said :

Icons next to peoples messages relating to rank (also to apply to clan chats)
