This is just one more reason for me to dislike Dynasty. I hate how mods are getting so liberal with colour and title changes. It's [censored] dumb as [censored] now.

Seriously, am I the only one who finds these colors grating? The brown, and maybe the purple, are OK. But most of the rest make the post lists look garish to me.

you're not the only one. I really couldn't stand it from the beginning, but didn't really want to say anything in fear of being [censored] or some such business.

it was cool when astro was purple and a couple others had colors, then everybody in M-HS started getting color changes and then it became downright stupid.

This thread sparked several mod fights in the mod forum over the last six days. The end result, due to a Mat decision, is that all screen names have been returned to their normal color.

Any suggestions on how to stir up another hornet's nest?

There are no mods without green screen names. When you get upgraded to mod, the color change is automatic.

i think the top forum contributors should each get a color.

like all the mid high contributors can be black, and all small stakes posters will be some type of metro pastel.

This was already attempted.

Also, for the record, I didn't really care about the colors to any great degree. But they were being overused, IMO. As I've already said to a few of the mods, I thought making the site reps. black was a pretty good idea.

I'm just happy the issue is settled and that there is finally a clear 'policy' about it.

What was your reasoning?

The beefs that people had with the color tended to be an argument that I don't think held much water (save for the white/yellow unreadable colors).

I was either for a free for all or a none for all. I thought the free all looked horrible as did many other posters.

Re: Colored screen names
 
See, I'm not sure that "looking horrible" was a good enough reason. I mean, if we're really that concerned about presentation, there's about 1500 avatars and horrible screen names that need to die too.

I do agree that if it was implemented it shouldn't have been just who knew a mod. (that's what custom titles are for!).

The thing is as it is now and was precolor explosion, colors had meaning that benefited 2p2 users. Red meant admin or author and Green meant Moderator. These colors had purpose.

The other colors had no purpose. Thus, I do think it is appropriate to look at issues like forum presentation when deciding their fate. Of course this is all a matter of opinion and can't be argued conclusively in either direction.

I believe that most if not all of these are admin functions, not moderators, but I'll give it a go:

* re-enable signatures
* separate display name from login name so that users can change their names at will
* start a "graemlins" thread, and then add the images posted to the thread as new graemlins
