    On skyblock, when you don't donate you get a [Noob] as prefix. I have seen multiple times people that don't like it and it is not really fair to call them a noob because they don't have a rank.

    I would suggest to change the prefix to [Player] or [Member], since most players who didn't donate aren't a noob.

    Maybe we can change it to Newbie for less offensive word?

    Newbie is almost the same, why not make it [Member]? Since they are a member of the server when they join. It sounds way better than [Newbie].
    Newbie also gets used for noob sometimes so yeah..

    in my opinion, [member] would be the best choice in this situation. The Cakes opinion has been given!

    That actually has nothing to do with the fact that a player hasn't donated. Everyone on the server starts with that rank.

    If you donate you don't have the noob prefix anymore, so when you don't donate you have to deal with the noob prefix

    I think the definition of Noob is similar to Newbie as it's a word for new comers or someone that is new to something. I see no problem with this. And in fact it won't do anything to your gameplay.
    Yes i said it was a good idea in my earlier comment. That is as a "why not" option.

    It's just people took the word Noob to seriously and set their mind as an offensive word these days.

    But they are new and a member of the AEM community, so why not member?

    Newbie until you reach /is level 20, where you are moved to member, and /is level 100 where you get Trusted.

    unfortunetly that is not how the plugin works, since the /is level can fluctuate, someone can get to is level 25, become member, donate to get skylord and then if their is level dropped below 20 or went above 100, it would remove their rank and give them newbie/trusted

    the reason we can use the time played plugin with whatever plugin we use for ranks, is because your time played cant ever go backwards and remove the rank.
