Thanks to MarkB for letting me port this hack to vBulletin 3 and creating the original.

Description:
This allows you as an administrator to mark users if they have donated to your website. You can use text/icon whatever you want by editing the phrase. It appears in postbit and the users profile

Can this be done with an image? Just wondering, nice hack, was looking for something like this, I'm sure it can be done as a image but just verifying.

[assassingod]

Do you mean that can you use an image? Then yes, you can by editing the phrase. (If that's not what you meant you'll have to explain again, thanks)

I may be missing something, but couldn't this be done without any file hacks by using a secondary usergroup (eg "Contributor") and a conditional in the right templates to display the text/image (<if condition="is_member_of($post, X)"><B>Contributor</B></if>)?

Yes, but I myself would prefer a simpler way (and I find this way easier)

Ah, OK. Just wondering. I guess I personally prefer methods that'll work without file modifications since I hate having to reapply file patches when upgrading...
