Suggestion: Add a "Retired Staff" banner underneath the names of users who have served on staff at any level on ECC. The banner would be similar to the Wiki Team, Premium User, and Staff Member banners we currently have.
Reason: Just a little thing I thought of as I perused the forums. Many servers do this to recognize past staff, and it would be a little token of acknowledgement that a user did indeed serve on staff in some capacity.

I think it should have to be applied for. I'm sure not everyone will want that kind of recognition

Again,
Do people who have been staff for a few hours get it?
Then your talking what requirements you need and then it gets complicated as well. -

- The fact that something is complicated doesn't automatically imply it's not worth the time.
- Yes, this particular case might seem not worth the time of a long discussion and study, but it's actually not that complicated as well: a couple days is obviously too short, while a year is obviously enough. Then it's just a matter whether we're talking weeks or months, and the discussion happily ends.

Thanks for trying to be my spokesperson though.

To be honest, I actually don't like the idea of this. I would much prefer a "merit" medal for a couple of reasons:
- Just being staff isn't really that much.
Don't get me wrong, staff do a lot, I would know. However giving ex-staff an honor that's based on the fact that they were staff simply incentives people to become staff to get it. I'd much prefer awarding for what we value, helping the community progress and grow. Will a lot of staff earn it, yes, but not all will, and you can't just get on staff to get a banner that lasts forever.
- You don't have to be staff to do something good for the server.
It's not the most frequent thing but certain players contribute leaps and bounds without being on staff. While it's not infrequent for some of these players to eventually be on staff, not all will. Even for those that do, it's a little bit silly that we'd honor them for being on staff but not the other helpful thing they did.
Course you have the issue of applying for it/deciding what earns it, but really I'd feel it best be given out at SA discretion, although possibly including an application or nomination process under certain circumstances.-

A huge problem with staff is people see it as an achievement, this would only increase that issue. Being staff should not be glorified, it is a selfless thing that is its own reward in being able to give back.-

+1 So it will not be vague who will be the retired staff.

I'm not a big fan of incentivizing getting staff for small stuff like banners.
-
I really feel that staff should just be staff and recognized while serving.
There is a staff thread that recognizes all staff members, past and present. -
If I may be honest: I do not want Moderator+ ranks to become 'prestige' ranks. Being a staff member shouldn't have such incentives. The staff guidebook already recognizes the efforts of past staff members.-
