Best color for mods/admins

[John]

What are your favorite colors to put moderators/admins in? Obviously, you want them to stand out in some way, to show that they're staff. I prefer bolder colors, like blue and red. What about you? What are your favorite colors to use?

I always have preferred red, I'm not sure why. I think this is the only forum I've ever been on that has admins in blue. 😛

I think the most common colours that are used for Administrators and Moderators are red and green. That's great and all, but that combination tends to get boring after a while.

I tend to use different colours like various shades of purple and blue, since they stand out and imo look better than red and green. 😛

I like blue or red for admin and green for moderator.

I tend to like Red for Administrators and Green for moderators.

I've always followed the FP conventions. Not sure why. 😛

Blue = Admin
Green = Moderator
Red = Don't typically use this one
Purple = Other staff (reviewer, etc.)

I definitely will always use green for moderator. When I was a moderator on the RuneScape Official Forums, our posts were colored solid green. So, I guess it's wired into me somewhere: Green = Moderator. 😛

I think that the answer depends from the theme. Usually it's Red, Green or Blue for the staff.

I use dark green for admins and light blue for moderators (a bit like the RA colour here). I have changed it a couple times over the years though. For a few months moderators were yellow.

I think the color thing is a bit of a habit thing too. Humans are creatures of habit and I believe people would be put off from using a forum where the staff colors go against the "Norm", so Admins are usually blue or red and moderators green, purely due to this

 

[Nebulous]

The only reason admins are green at my forum is because that's my favorite color and I wanted my username to be green.

:lol:

On one forum that I adminned, but didn't own.. It was a somewhat darkish theme with the admins having a gold colour.

My admin colour on The AtomBB Forums is actually just about every colour, due to the multi-colour system which makes it incredibly obvious that I'm staff, although it uses a normal colour (red, I believe) when I turn that off for the admin group.

 

[pandaa]

our posts were colored solid green

That seems like that could be annoying after a while. What hue was it? 😛

 

[Cierra]

I use Green for mods and dark Blue for admins.

I like the staff colours at FP, they're pretty spot on!

Here's one of my old posts from back when I was a forum mod. They use weird software, and one of the features is that an old post made as a moderator still says "Moderator" even after you've left the team. Interesting side effect: it won't let me edit my old posts from back when I was a mod. 😛

Not too bad of a hue, although it used to be worse before they updated the style. :lol:

The admins had gold posts. 😛 I guess this kind of thing makes sense on a really, really large support forum, though. The RuneScape Forums is actually the second largest forum online by post count, at least as of 2012.

In my personal opinion:

Red for admin
Blue for mods
Green for Junior mods or Event team mods, etc.

Green for Moderators and Red For Administators

 

[Thomasss]

My colors are red for an admin and green for a moderator, it's just one of those things that looks better and shows authority. 😛

I do like blue as admins as well, but I don't normally see admins with a blue hue. 😛

Administrators are red. Global Moderators are purple.
