    Some times I see people pretending to be staff to new players on mc-war and other servers. I think there should be some sort of punishment for people who say, 'I am a staff member that is against the rules!' When it really is not. Maybe we could add the word 'staff' behind a staffs IGN, Example: {Staff} Lord_Roke or {Admin} Chickenputty. I was thinking the punishment could be a kick for however long you guys think is fair. Its just not very nice to troll new players like that.

    Well, the Admins do have the word Admin next to them, and it is clear who moderators are due to the purple nametag. As long as it is not harmful, I don't believe there is anything wrong with impersonating a staff member.

    I think this should stay as it is. It is the fault of the players themselves that they don't notice the pink or purple name.

    I don't know about war, but in survival pvp it shows the word, "Admin" or "MOD" next to a player which is either mod or admin. If this is not in mc-war then I think they should add it. And also it's fine if a player helps out a player acting like mod abit. But if their saying stuff like, "Shut up. You are not allowed to do that and I AM mod (which it's a regular player saying it) and I WILL kick you)
    First, mods aren't supposed to act like that and I know they don't.
    Second, that's just wrong and abusive to say to a player like that.

    On Mc-Party and Survival PVP the staff all have a 'Gmod', 'Mod', 'Smod' or Admin tag next to their name. In the McWar spawn there is a sign telling people the staff ranks, plus people normally associate purple / pink with staff so...

    With our new plugin coming out in the near future, there will be a punishment for staff impersonation.

    Locked - PM me if you are confused.
