Suggestion ! Maybe this is already asked !

Tip to see if somebody is a legal user of vBulletin!
I see on the request boards request from people who where asked by the management to fill up there information and Customer Number !

Is there not a simple hack (and I'm a dunno!) to add to this official vBulletin board to show under the posters avatar text like "Official Member" and "Unoffcial Member" so when somebody ask for support you can see if he is an official vBulletin user so that others can help this person with his request/help!!

And when it says Unofficial you know you dont have to answer his request !!

just my $0.02 (and maybe this is already suggested, then i'm sorry I haven't read the entire board :) ) !!

While we could do that (in fact we have something similar set up for staff here), we're not willing to show people whether others have entered their license info yet, as it is an invasion of privacy.

This may change in the future.

I don't see this as an invasion of privacy and i think also the majority will agree on this.
I would have no problem to see an icon next to my id that I have paid for vBulletin, it would even make me more proud.
