Chat tags
Chat tags (Community group) controls the tags printed in front of player names in game chat, for example [VIP] Alex: gg wp. Needs the chat.tags permission (Admin) and the RustyThrones Chat plugin on the server (a default plugin on hosted servers).
Who gets which tag
Priority, highest first: staff, then a live monthly pass, then the highest bundle tier.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Staff | Admins & owners (community admins, owners and the server's owners) and Moderators. Viewers get none. |
| Player plans | The plan name in the plan colour, for active subscribers. |
| Kit tiers | VIP, Gold, Silver, Bronze for players who bought the bundle at least once. |
Options
| Option | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Show tags in game chat | On | Master switch. |
| Staff tags | On | Admins and moderators get their own tag. |
| Coloured names | On (tag colour) | The player name takes the tag colour. |
| Supporter join message | Off | Announces supporters when they join ("VIP Alex joined"). |
Edit the tags
Each row (Staff, Player plans, Kit tiers) has a text field and a colour picker, with a live preview ("Alex: gg wp"). Back to default resets a row. Limits: tag text up to 16 characters (markup is stripped), colour #RRGGBB. Defaults: ADMIN red, MOD blue, VIP purple, Gold, Silver and Bronze in metal colours; a plan uses its own colour (near-black colours are lifted so they stay readable). A plan not on sale is labelled "Plan not on sale".
Click Save. Servers refresh the tags automatically.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No tags in game | The chat plugin is missing, or Show tags in game chat is off. |
| Wrong colour | Use Back to default on the row to return to the default colour. |
