What I can see is that people who are yet indecisive or probably don't want a permanent financial commitment (for whatever reasons, that's not the point here), nevertheless want to tell the outside world (i.e. the people on all the other servers they play on for whatever reasons - hopfully just because no one is on ours then) how great it is to be around here. (There's your purpose for the tags, Papa...)
We as a community - that is the clan players as well as the regulars - represent our way and style of playing which we all happen to like, by exercising just those principles even on other servers. If I were a random player on a public server where (again, for whatever reasons) a bunch of WDG Members and ... "Grinners" (ferchrissake give it a name) are doin their thing successfully, I'd maybe have a closer look.
That's just the thing really. From my experience, mostly people end up here by getting to know about our server from word-of-mouth propaganda. To be honest, this worked miraculously so far, so I am in no way recommending we should change routes there totally. Maybe a compromise: Have the Grinners also have their trial time, and first and foremost have them donate whatever amount on an irregular, maybe even one-time basis, to show their honest support for us.
If any of you (yes, I mean YOU, the guys in this thread that would like to have a community tag on their name) are willing to go through this or some variant thereof, spread the word and style of WDG (up to and including the church of mode...), which I daresay is not too much I am asking for, then Junta, Papa, BY ALL MEANS let them have their tag.
Nothing in life comes for free, except death, and that costs you your life...

Rant over. Ran out of parentheses...
