Different coloured names
- Weapon: Stinger Missile
I've noticed that the mods have different coloured names. Before it was red. Now I see green, dark green, purple, orange, and probably a few colours I didn't know they'd invented yet.

I dont know which colors are which, but I believe they represent Forum Mods, Site Mods, News Crew, HMW Mods, and probably another category or two. Oh, and last I noticed, Seibs had a color all to himself.

I am glad someone noticed my work.
dark red = admins
light red = news admins
green = site moderators
purple = HMW moderators
orange = news moderators
dark green = VSD moderator

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Is there an option posters can use to turn them off? Having so many colors that contrast with the background of the site does a number on my eyes. Its a good idea don't get me wrong, but my head tends to hurt from just visiting the forums and I don't like that

That's a shade of purple!

Sorry but the colors stay.
There has been too much confusion as to who the appropriate moderators are due to the color palette not being set up correctly.
It is correct now and will stay that way.
