Of course, not all Admins and Moderators have differently colored names, as you yourself are an example of. Also, psyduck. However, I have yet to see a Plugin Approver who doesn't have a colored name.

Another side effect is that you can't ignore moderators even if you don't visit the board they moderate. So, even though I moderate the VSH / FF2 board, no one can ignore me any more. \o/

I'm lucky; of all the things I've... encouraged... the Allied Modders staff to do, changing my title hasn't been one of them.

Instead, I just got to see the AlliedModders Pony logo for 6 months.

You didn't have to ask that, it's obviously logical that an admin or a person with access to forum's database may change that.

That is because I have my group set to "SourceMod Donors". I can change it to either AMX Mod X Moderators or AMX Mod X Plugin Approvers if I was interested in colors. I had my name in blue for a while when I first got that ability, don't think I ever had it pink.

Back then, it was a different time. Oh the days when Roach and sawce were active... so much fun.

forums are different, fail logic.

I've tried to avoid a pay-for-trinkets model on the forums. This works for large, general sites but we're more focused on having high quality developer access and plugin downloads. I worry that forum trinkets would bring the wrong incentive.

Note for similar reasons we don't display post counts or have karma...

You may want to add that you tried karma once but stopped it because it was leaning in that way. If anyone should start make a pro list for karma.

You don't want to become like Reddit's /r/tf2trade?

Which reminds me, I need to check if any Reddit admins answered my question about that in /r/modhelp.
