    Default It's that time of year again

    Isn't it time we made the staff titles' colors better.

    Think about it. Silver, blue and yellow have no relation to each other. But gold, silver and bronze do. Make the admins' title gold, the mods' title silver and the former staffs' title bronze. That way you can know who is who and what powers they have. Just like in the Olympics. Gold is the best, then silver, then bronze, i.e. The admins are the best, then the moderators, then the former staff, who hang out on the podium but don't do much other than try to look good.

    I'm going to pretend this thread is about asking the staff for coloured titles (because I really do want one )

    Hey staff can I have a pretty non-pink, non-Banned coloured title?

    aw! Well, don't you believe it, but they do it all the time. I do everything from flattering kikimm to pretending to be one with rubah and they still shun me.

    I was just thinking about this.

    Almost a year ago BoB went all crazy with the idea and stopped wth the colored custom titles. I argued about it but BoB was all like it's annoying for the Admins to get PMs about it, or that it shows status and all that. So, I sent a PM survey to all the Admins of the time asking them if they've ever been asked to color a custom title, if they have changed one, if getting asked was annoying, if they think it's a status symbol and all that kind of stuff. Most of them agreed with one or two things BoB said, but overall didn't seem to mind it at all. I was going to show it to BoB back then, but I didn't think it would make any difference. Might as well do it now.

    I really don't see how they're a status symbol when only Psychotic, Monkey, Big D, and myself had one at the time (except spuuky, who still does ). What status do we have

    Rubedo: Well today might be different.

    chaos: So, will the overrated + underrated at the same time Recognized Members get a color change?

    Is there a way to enable html in the custom titles so we can color them ourselves? Then there's no special privleges as everyone can do it.

    Trumpet Thief, you give me hope. False hope, but hope nonetheless.

    As for the starr recoloring their titles, that's a big NO. When color was first mention, the idea was to use "Britty Blue" for the Cid's Knight, Silver was the color of choice for Administrators because back then. While it's not the Gold, Silver, Bronze that you wish it was, it's a lot better than White, White, White.

    Oh yeah, color for custom titles would be awesome. But sadly, enabling html in the custom title area would be bad.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    If more admins agree than don't why not?
