Now, I am asked this at LEAST once a day on the shotbox "are Blue members mods?" and it is starting to anoy me. So I have decided to come up with a suggestion on a little box under the shotbox saying:

Quote:
Orange = Administrators.
Dark Green = Shoutbox Mods
Light Green = Other Mods
Blue = Webrankers/Fan News Editors
Tanned = Members


I think it would be needed for it on the Shoutbox since it is asked so meany times.

This is actually a great idea.

A Colour Code box would help greatly since alot of members are still unsure of the name colours on the shout box. It would especially help new members to understand the rankings and stuff.

so yeah, good idea! I'm all for it. ;D

Colors for certain Mods also sounds like a good idea.

Yeah thanks guys, I thought it would be useful since I am trying to ignore the users constant questions.

Pretty good idea here. It'd sure help clear up the confusion.

Yeah, cause actually, it is really starting to bug me this topic, the fact that members are constantly asking.





And for all these members who say that the light green mods are teh fan mods:

Yes, they are the non-shoutbox mods, cause alot of people tell members they are fan mods and they are incorrect, yes the fan mods are in light green, but so is every other mod that are not in the shotbox group.

Ok, but I don't want to overload the shout box display. I'll have to think of a place where to display it.

You know when you click on the SB rule thing, maybe put it there and add on the box about the colours if you click so it would say something like:

Quote:
NO offensive comments, NO sex, BE nice to everyone
NEVER give personal information!
Speak only ENGLISH here. MATES talks aren't allowed here!
Behave well! We never like to ban anyone!
Also, so you know your fellow members, we would like you to click here to find out what all the colours mean


Would that do?

Hmm... but you would have to think, would the members even bother to look down at that link? Many don't. You would have to do more to get their attention.

This is too, a very good idea. :mrgreen:

Hmm... Or maybe a link just above the posting form saying "The colours of the shoutbox"

I think this is a wonderful idea, and something the website could benifit from. Hopefully Steet will add this, as it would be a good way for new members to know what 'job(s)' certain members have on here and who they should obey.

If you mean different colours for different mods, then I disagree. In a sense, it's a good idea. But it could all get very confusing (especially for new members) if so many mods are different colours. (It would also be harder to recognise them.)

Wel, is Steet decides to make it part of the Shout Box display, then I'm sure they would notice it eventually. (Especially since there will be colours involved, and it will probably be underneath the message box.)
