If you recall, in the thread "Moderating Moderators - Part 3", the username color system for staff was changed. Now, roles stack (if you have chat mod + rollback, you get a gold color to show you have both, for instance) and it shows on your username color.

Except... I personally dislike this change. For a few reasons.


 * Some colors are too similar to others, and do not seem to be tested for colorblindness whatsoever. For a few examples...
 * Chat mod + rollback is nigh identical to chat mod on it's own.
 * Chat moderator + content moderator is too similar to rollback.
 * Heck, even discussion mod + rollback and discussion moderator + content moderator look too similar to each other...
 * Really, majority of the ones relating to content moderator or chat moderator tend to be a complete mess...
 * For some reason, Admins and Bureaucrats don't get any color changes. I don't understand. Why bother changing all rollbacks/chat mods/discussion mods/content mods, but not change admins or bureaucrats? It just feels inconsistent.
 * Certain colors do NOT mesh well with the website's CSS. Most glaringly, picture to the left, is that discussion mod + rollback does not look good with the notifications, as shown with the example of the badge obtaining screen. I'd even be willing to wager that the bureaucrat green looks more appealing on notifications than the colors I have right now; a slightly dark green and a vibrant pink do NOT mix well.
 * It was forgotten for a third of a year before abruptly being added. While this isn't the fault of the suggestion itself, it does end up causing problems, in that everybody involved most likely forgot about it until it just randomly got added on that fateful July day, for seemingly no reason at all, mind you.

Honestly, this entire idea just seems like a bad idea. We should honestly revert the system back to the way it was. But what do you think? Just vote below.
