You should put &f (white) after nicknames so it won't color also the ping.

And it also colors things in the chat (with scrap/chatbukkit).

Or maybe you could use also the suffix, to be used after the nicknames, and we should put &f at the end of it to fix that.

No I'm not going to add white at the end because that would mean cutting 2 more letters from username (they are limited CLIENT side).

It's ok to cut 2 letters just for the prefix ?

So, why not for the suffix ? =p

I don't have players with VeryLongNickNames on my server.

Maybe you could just let us choose in the config.yml file if we want to use the suffix or not.

How about removing/allowing config to toggle the ping indicators? Problem solved, no? I was going to open a ticket asking to remove them, so considering this ticket is effected by them.. Maybe you can kill two birds with one stone.
