    Is it possible to override the VIP tag with the admin tag (or put them both there) and possibly change it to Junior/Senior/Veteran or just the general [Admin]?

    Also, n0name, is it possible to make an url to the teamspeak server like ts.f-o-g.eu?

    I don't see what the problems with the current admin tags are, but if the VIP tag does override admin tags, that should be changed.

    I usually use the VIP tag to monitor rule breakers without them knowing there is an admin aboard. It is very useful.

    Well, it does. Having a chat color overrides the JA SA or VA tag, and makes it VIP instead.

    That's true, however, most regulars will know you're an admin and tell others about it, for example "You're going to get banned, Bunnie is here now."

    As far as my knowledge goes donators can toggle their VIP tag off.

    Not the admin one though.
    Can't say I like the tag change though, I'm fine with SA/JA/VA.

    Basically I like the tags which are now, but I also like the idea :)

    Wouldn't the [JUNIOR]/[SENIOR]/[VETERAN] tag be a bit too long? IMO if you wish to change it it should be a general [Admin] tag.
    Also I like the idea about being able to switch from VIP to ADMIN tag using menu.
    I don't know about the teamspeak so I'll end it here.

    It IS possible to swap from your admin tag to your vip tag. Downy has shown this to be true (Seen him do it).

    What is NOT possible though is to turn off your Admin tag. The only way to turn it off is being a donator and basically swapping to the donator tag; turning that one off gives you the admin tag back.
    Much like Bunnie said, hiding your tag can be useful when you don't want to alert people with bad intentions that you're around.

    Eh with the changing from SA to Senior Admim or whatever, I dislike it cause my name is stupidly long already. Also if you have VIP as an admin, go to chat colours, setting it as anything apart from no colour will result in a VIP tag and not an admin one so that's not really a problem

    As for the Tags themselves: They are that short because Source, by default, only allows messages with a total length of 128 Characters (including name, tags, etc.) - so with long tags you would only be able to write like 80 Characters or something.
    Regarding the VIP Tag overriding: there is no way to change this, as the plugin uses the OnClientSayCommand forward from SourceMod, which doesn't allow the modification of the order in which the forward is called.

    TS: You can simply use www.f-o-g.eu:9987 too, changing that to ts (without port) would require an extra module for TS.

    There's nothing wrong with JA/SA/VA.

    You can make your sa come over vip by having no chat colour already.

    I like my VIP tag better than the admin tag.

    -1 this would involve me changing a future texture in unusual trade.
