[General Play] VIP colours

[tomozj]

Mods and admins are there to be recognized, they have a duty to do, whereas VIP's don't

Aye, this is what I was thinking when I first read this.

VIPs should stop crying for VIP-only features -- I personally would want people to donate because they want to help out -- otherwise it's like paying for a lifetime membership of the premium club. Regular players would just be alienated even more. A colour for VIPs is useless, as how does that help anyone? Every player should be setting a good example for the rest, not just the VIPs -- that argument is invalid. A /setcolour would open the doors to abuse, such as mimicking the colour of gangs.

And dab -- why do we need to be organized like so? That's simply creating more ranks, creating the illusion you must donate in order to work your way up the ranks and become a moderator or an administrator -- when that isn't the case.

In a nutshell -- accept you donated to help out LVP, and not for your own good (I hope). The majority of LVP players are non-VIP, and they shouldn't be pushed around with those who've used their wallets to get features. Before long we'll have free money for VIPs if we start on this track, and it's really really not necessary.
