Different coloured names

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.
What do all the colours mean? And does my ignorance mean I'm a forum moron? A forom?

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.

here..Jeep? was kind enough to give me an answer pretty quickly

It's not easy being green.

-cringe- ...my gas supplier has the dreariest cover of that song as their hold music. After waiting for 2 hours on the phone to arrange for a new meter to be fitted, hearing it gives me a twitch in my right eye :\

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

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!
and they're set against a black background which is easier on the eyes then the bright colors of the forum background

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.

I like them, reminds me of flowers in a green field.
You can say that, but as soon as the site changes it will be changed again
(it always did)
