Alright.

First off, this is a minor issue, although I have to admit that it sometimes bugs the absolute hell out of me, and I wanted to see if my experiences are shared with anyone else on this wiki.

First off, can we have a small look at all of the different colours that this wiki uses for chat moderators, forum moderators and admins?

Yes, these many colours. Orange, dark green, purple, red, blue, brown,  white,  light blue, crimson... To me, this is a confusing mess of colours and there is absolutely no need of adding these.

This is what I propose;

I suggest that everyone with the same function in the wiki will have the same colour of name.

This means, that Chat Mods will for example have the colour red (which means that it can be easily seen as it does not blend in with the background of this wiki), and so that people can easily differentiate between people.

Admins + founder can have the same colour.

And all of the Forum/Discussion Mods will have the same colour.

But wait. I know what you're going to start thinking.

"But we have these!"

Do not remind me of how much I hate these damn things. Everytime I try and read a thread, some admins decide to have coloured posts and have their function written in large latters at the bottom of their posts, which basically makes every thread look like the works of a painter that gave up on his dreams and said 'screw it'.

It is an unsightly thing to look at for me. And this is not the only problem I have with it just because it doesn't look pretty.

Do you see the problem that these coloured posts sometimes make for no reason? If you haven't noticed, the one who posted this is an admin and decided to give everyone a link to another wiki. However, because of the colour that he decided to give to all of his posts are green and links are also green, which means that people can barely see it. So basically, I want to give everyone with the same function in the staff one colour so that people can differentiate between chat mods, forum mods, and admins.I also want to get rid of those colourd posts that people of the staff (and some people that aren't staff) have to make reading easier. The cons? You'll just lose abit of personality to your posts, that's basically it.

Do you want people with the same function to have the same colour? Yes No

Do you want to get rid of coloured posts and swap it for a normal post? Yes No

Please vote on the polls I included in this post, so that we can clearly see who opposes it and who supports these changes.
