    What should be added

    On your forum profile it could show what rank you are. You should also be able to change what servers rank you want to show.

    Why

    It would help people see what rank you are.

    Extra

    Reply if you have any suggestions and I might update this post

    I believe the reason we don't include in-game ranks on forums is to try and create an 'equal space' here.

    Sometimes, the game itself can be quite dominated by rank - it's quite nice to have discussions away from the server without any idea what rank the other person is. Trust and negotiation can also be done without prejudice that way too.

    (As a side note, please don't include screenshots from, or mention other servers here! ;))

    I feel like people will try and make an account to act like a player with an in game rank

    Doesn't "Premium" destroy this statement?

    I can see your point, but I don't think it does.

    The premium rank is vastly different from any in-game ranks, especially as it's targeted primarily at forums users and doesn't have 'tiers' of premium - only how long you choose to purchase the equivalent privilege for. The point is, in most cases it expires, and disappears from the user as they don't have lifetime. In-game ranks are all 'lifetime' ranks, which is what the main differentiating point is.

    I've also never seen the premium rank used to exclude people like I have in-game ranks.

    well then couldn't there be some sort of verification thing where you have to log into Minecraft and approve it yourself to link to your forum account? I've seen others servers do it and it's fine

    Staff ranks are not donation ranks. They are there to expressly notify forum members of who they can go to if they need help.

    Therefore, your point is invalid.
