I noticed some people that is not a moderator, are getting colored name, such as Mike, Trigger, or such usernames.
How is it possible to get colored usernames?

Well, the simple answer is: Admins abusing their powers (not me or Juno though, I only give out titles/name changes unless the person is a staff member). Chise is planning on having some forum events in the future where the winners will get a name color change to a color of their choosing, I believe, not sure if it's that, or there's going to be a unique color just for them.
Before the color changing incident recently, the only people with unique colors were staff members, as well as 2 people that won an event (scavenger hunt event I believe) when this site started, so having a unique name color was a privilege, not something where you can make a thread asking for it, and have a good chance of actually getting it.

Oh I see, so that is how the users got their colored usernames. Thank you.

sure.. let's go with that
personally I wish everyone would stop asking and getting butthurt over it
the only reason I got it was because I requested that the event helpers be brought back for their purple names and Osay was nice enough to give me a purple name
but now everyone's asking and it's making me mad because it's going to get mine taken away.

My defense was that I recently discovered how to do it and I wanted to try it out. Don't worry kids, now I'm done having fun and I'm completely 4srs. No one is now part of my personal rainbow nor shall they ever be.

Well I don't intend to be start anything, but...
You shouldn't be saying that everyone else shouldn't be butthurt because you're basically acting selfish. With that last line by saying "
but now everyone's asking and it's making me mad because it's going to get mine taken away." you're basically telling everyone you're being selfish and don't care if nobody else gets a colored name as long as you keep your own.
As for people being "butthurt" about it, I'm pretty sure the main reason isn't because they're jealous. It's because they feel that having a colored name is a rare privilege. Did you know that the only people who had colored names up to this point had to earn those colored names through effort and competition? People knew that they deserved those names because they actually did something to earn them. Then there comes in some people jokingly asking for colored names and are given them like that.
Once again, I'm not looking for any fights. I'm just trying to act rational since I can't simply overlook how wrong you are in saying that.

Hi there, reopened thread!
Well, seems like Hitaki basically said what I was thinking.
First colored names, then pirate skulls, what next?
In all seriousness, I have nothing against the people who got the colored names, but if they got them, why not everybody else? Sure, it's only a colored username, but it's not like just anybody could've asked and gotten it, only certain people.

I have to agree with what Claudia said. They could've made it as a shop item where you buy it with Forum money and such.
editted:: Yes, I'm aware that we get an item that changes your color name if you buy that no-ad thingy, but it only restricts you to teal-ish color, nothing else.

I don't see why you guys care so much, before I noticed the skull I was like
"Oh my name colour is gone, oh well at least the butthurt squad will stop *****ing"
but then I saw the skull and was like
"Oh, cool BD"
It doesn't even matter, it's just a name colour, which are GONE. and now it's a skull
"I want skulls too!"
they can go for all I care, because I don't
but you guys obviously think it's necessary that you are a part of it too
I bet if Zeo and Claudia were given something fancy and different than everyone else I doubt I'd hear a single peep on how unfair it is to the other 10-15 thousand users.

The staff pretty much unanimously decided that no one should have their own special color unless they earned that color (by earned, we mean you won an event where the prize was a name color change). That's why some people's colors got removed. Those that didn't have their names changed was because Chise changed the name colors through the server instead of the Admin CP, and when he fixed it so that it's affected by the Admin CP, he didn't change the colors back to normal.
However, I took care of it today, and those that had their colors reverted back received a special skull and crossbones icon next to their names unbeknownst to the rest of the staff, which kind of defeats the purpose of removing the special colors to begin with, which was that no regular members are better or more special compared to the rest. Everyone's to be treated the same way, and everyone's supposed to be equal. However, the special icons (as well as the special name color changes) just promotes favoritism from the staff, while everyone else that's just as equal as them gets nothing. Any form of conceived favoritism is never a good thing in a community, and only causes problems.
