Hey there, I'm back with a new suggestion. ^~^ This suggestion is based on what the title implies, custom user groups. This would work by the user needing to be a valid member of the community, with the Verified tag or the Trusted tag. Once they achieve the Verified or Trusted tag, they would be eligible to be able to purchase a custom usergroup, which would have to follow a set of guidelines upon creation, but would allow the player to create a custom usergroup for whatever reason. Purchasing this upgrade would give you the "Eligible" tag until you contact a staff to make the usergroup. This would also help filter out any inappropriate tags, and would allow the users to be a little more creative on their profile. Let me know what you think! (I might have one more suggestion coming right after this.)
User groups create divisions between members. I don't think a small site like ours is ready for that yet.
