I have a thought for a relatively useful plugin if anyone is up to the challenge.
Usergroup ranks.
Each usergroup could have as many "ranks" within it as the administrator sets. Each rank would be able to use its own group rank image and also allow for a specified number of stars for each rank.
Why would this be useful? Well, it would help compress the number of usergroups required for websites with more complex staff rosters or usergroup ranks/systems.
The group rank image would be especially helpful to designate team leaders of a particular staff division with their own unique variation of the team's usergroup image. It's a bit cumbersome having to create an entirely new usergroup for a single team leader to create the same effect in vanilla MyBB.
It could also be nifty for VIP groups, clan groups, etc, allowing them to have a different forum star progression than the default stars that registered users have.

That mod and others like it merely display any additional group images in addition to their primary group image. I am not interested in displaying multiple group images, only in creating variation of group images for the same usergroup.
