Breaking up ranks into smaller bits has been discussed before, and the fact of the matter is that it gets messy when we have multiple ranks.Also, people can often get confused if the trusted rank was split, if their rank said "Trusted" but they were a different type of trusted. So this is most likely not gonna be implemented.
More privileges means more reasons to brag about the rank-- we want to avoid that.
Status idea: Veteran
How to get:
1) You must be trusted. No exceptions.
2) You must be a member on the server for at least 1 year. No exceptions.
Difference between veteran and trusted:
1) Veterans are no different from trusted except they can pickup and place lava with buckets. This used to be given to trusted members, but obviously due to problems with grief it was taken away. Veterans must have a year or more on the server to be given the rank. It is highly unlikely someone will become trusted by the admins, and get a whole year on the server just so they can grief. This is the only reason for recommending that Veterans receive this even though we want to avoid making players "better" than others.

Has smp been around for as long as a year?As 2Crzy stated, The SMP server has been up for over a year now.

So you want us to implement a rank that would basically show off how long you have been on the server? Cause that is all this is doing.It depends on how you view it, but without doubt, that is how people will view it.
Why is it everyone here looks only at the down side of things?
Worded perfectly.Why is it everyone here looks only at the down side of things?
It is not a down-side-- we are looking at this realistically. If you're thinking that we're just looking at this and going, "Oh, no. This is not a good idea," and then moving on to the next idea, then you really need to step into our shoes more often.
The thing that I would disagree with this
idea of trusted lava is that, Why do trusteds
need lava? Most of us don't need it
often, and it doesn't hurt to call a mod+,
I for one own Lava City,
Even I usually don't require mass lava.
Yes, but my point is, how often would trusted need lava?The thing that I would disagree with this

I just thought of it for ex-mods honestly (What chief posted came from one of my suggestion topics) for the purpose that at least we know they were once a moderator. It shows they can really be trusted. It would NOT be given to those who were banned.
I don't think a veteran trusted rank would be a bad thing ... I mean.. Who doesn't like a nice title?Every part of this reply should be an example to why we shouldn't have this rank. I'm sorry, but you made this rank sound so stupid it's not even funny. All this rank will be is an excuse to brag about how long you've been on the server for. It won't take long until people will see the rank as an ego boost rather than something people should work towards.
Also I have never wanted to be a mod just simply because I like having time to actually play minecraft, however I sometimes feel like people look at trusteds as those who aren't cut out for mod'ing .
In no way am I saying its necessary, and I think lava is a bad Idea (really who needs it that often that they can't call a mod?)
idk maybe /tp at most
Anyways though back on subject I think it would be a good idea to have a veteran rank just to show who all of the trusteds that have played for a long time, have caused no trouble to opti staff, and are a bit more devoted to the game are.
Just a thought. Like I said though its not a necessity, just a cool reward for players who've been on a long time.
(And I mean long time by smp server standards)
*also just a side not I have not yet read the first page of this post so sorry if I say anything that has already been discussed.

'to show who all of the trusteds that have played for a long time'
People who have played for a long time are already given a rank, it's called Trusted!
I could go on for ages as to why this is a stupid idea, but I won't because you get the picture. Just be happy with being Trusted people, you've already shown us, the senior staff, that you can be trusted so we don't need another rank to show us you're still here.
We are not looking to add a new rank now or in the future.
