Colours

Can you please sort the colours of the mods out, look how many there are now, some of them you cannot see with certain skins on the forums, it also makes it hard to know who does what around here....
Deep within Noob Cave, you find a strange pool filled with a glowing blue liquid. You think back to what your mother told you about unfamiliar liquids found in caves.

You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"

Re: Colours

Personally every skin should have a black background.
It's pretty pointless having different coloured backgrounds when you have special coloured names.

I don't rightly know why Semper has black or Teau'lc red.

as for some colors not showing on some forum skins, it's customizable by the user. myself, i preferred the old default acid tech because it showed most all colors. acid tech red and x-treme forum skins seem to work well.

hope this helps you a little bit.

Zeratul intentionally changed the colour of his name so that (using AcidTech anyway) his name is 'transparent'.
Semper got his black colour from Smooshable, it illustrates that he is the mod of Debate Central, a place where there are no black and white, only grey.. his colour is an ironic joke.
Tok'ra have their red colour.
Racemods are pink.
Regular mods are blue.
Supermods are green. (My skin currently shows them only as bolded, no special colour, as regular users are green in this skin.)
Administrators are orange.
Ex-Administrators are purple. (Except for Psi, but I think he could be purple if he wanted to.)

I guess that's all of them.. :)



I'm with you by the way.. I think one background colour should be established. Black, preferably. Regular users should have a different colour from all those with functions and stuff.


edit: I posted, despite Weiland's list. It's incomplete and thus inaccurate, so I feel my addition is warranted. ;)

Re: Colours

not just debate mod..but the head of the section and the debate section rule maker.

A glorified nobody! lol.

Besides what Auriel said...its black because I wanted it to be black, rather then pink or light blue to show that the debate section is nothing to do with the game, its purely forum.

This explains it.
Zeratul / Chaos Mods have had chaotic colour patterns. It continues to this day. :)
