Admin and Super Mod

[AgnesIO]

Green, people currently green can become red and admins can become eye rape rainbow colour.

(I only say green so hu can be green again, but really, who would be disappointed?)

Haha

I think moderators dark red (I think moderators have a dark red?) should be removed - since they can over ride it with VIP anyway lol. Just give normal staff colour - then give super mods the dark red?

[Mark]

What about these colours...

Super MOD

Super MOD

Let them use their VIP colours.

I don't see why they need to have their own specific, set colour.

Well they should have the red removed completely?

I was just saying for moderators, they might as well not have the dark red considering VIP can over ride it anyway - which rules out the entire point of having it

Super Moderators have quite a powerful role on the forum, they need to stand out just as much as administrators so having them use their VIP colours is out of the question. Although red is an administrator colour, the user title and user bar does a good job of differentiating the two. I'd also like to think our smods are active and thus instantly recognisable even to users new to the forums

All staff apart from General management, Super Moderators and Administrators can override the green colour - surely that means the green is pointless?

CHOCOLATE IS BROWN POO IS BROWN MOST BABIES DO NOT EAT POO

Seriously if people can't see anything other than the colour of someone's username what use are they to the world anyway

I agree with James really. It's been the way for as long as I can remember at least that admins/smods have the same colour. Supermoderators do have the power to ban members etc and it's a very important role to the forum. The differences between moderators an supermoderators are rather large and this is shown with the colour- it's a role which requires more responsibility.

I also agree that they need to stand out as people on the forum who are on hand to assist new members/old members and they've got the power to instantly get rid of any posts which are serious rulebreaks and ban members etc.

I would completely say no to allowing them to have vip colours- they need to stand out and I don't think having three people with the same colour as admins is going to hurt, especially when you can tell what their job role is from their usertitle. You could say the same about owner/GM/AGM they are different ranks with different amounts of power, yet they still share the colour- this is just another example. Smods have a panel, they have powers and need to be recognised since their roles are extremely important to the forum.

If it were to change seen as normal Moderators are Maroon and Administratiors are Bright Red, then Super Mods should be halfway between IMO.
But then it's been this way for so long as it's been said, it's nothing really major that needs to change?

I wasn't saying give SMOD's VIP colours....

I was saying if moderators can have VIP colours, what is the point in the dark red they have if they are not VIP?

I am not saying it is major, I just thought that super moderators are just that. Moderators.

I'm not entirely sure on the reasonings for the dark red names for moderators/why it can be over-ridden etc, however I just take it as that SuperModerators hold a very important role on the forum, one that allows them to carry out certain administrative tasks such as banning- they're not admins no, however they play a vital role and should be easily recognisable. The userbars normal mods get are that dark red colour too, and I guess it's just something which was done to distinguish them from the normal staff colour.

I can see where you are coming from, however I don't think it's really worth changing anything since the job titles remain the same and the colours aren't too confusing. It's been fine for years and I think introducing yet another colour would mean too much variety and things would start to get confusing.
