Lol Fire, the reason for it being called "player" over "member" would be so that there's no sense of worth given for it, it's meant to be something plain and obvious. XD The rank "player" would not even be displayed, so it'd purely be to remove the "guest" status, instead of promoting them to a rank. As for Honoured and Architect, it's again to get rid of this labelling, whilst still giving recognition. If players see people with ranks like Honoured or Architect, chances are they'd start to want those ranks even more, since really they sound pretty prestidgious, thus starting rank games again... and that'd lead to the same problems as before if OPs aren't strict (you'd still get pesterers). Really, I guess they still will be kinda, but I don't know... If I was below OP still, and saw someone with Architect, and I myself had no title, I'd feel quite a lot lower... Changing it to a single letter I think would almost bridge a gap, since in my mind, it changes it from being a rank, to more like an attribute given to someone's name.
And yeah, I know... I do write more than needed, just how I do things... not intentional. XD
Edit- A simpler way of putting it with the single letters thing is more like giving medals in a way, rather than an entire rank.
