As you may or may not know, there has been a bit of confusion over the color of the member names. So, I'm creating this thread to clarify that issue for our current members, and hopefully save our future members a bit of stress.
The List:
–----------------------------------------------------------------------
Colorless names:
People with colorless names are basically just regular members; they have access to the basic forums and have basic user accounts.
Example: Cap'n Carter
Brown/maroonish names:
People with brown/maroonish names are senior members; basically, they are members who have been found to be congenial and/or well-liked. Some people become senior members for other reasons, such as being one of the forum founders.
Example: Miss pirateneko
Purple names:
People with purple names are editors; we can edit the main site and update it with information. That's… pretty much it.
Example: OnePieceLover12
Green names:
People with green names are moderators; they can close threads, hand out temporary bans (correct me if I'm wrong), and do various other things like removing offending signatures.
Example: Miss Carly
Pink names:
Those with pink names are fansubbers; they, as their name suggests, provide you with subtitled One Piece episodes.
Example: KaiserDragon
Orange names:
Those with orange names are scanlators; they give you your translated manga.
Example: kikiboudka
Gray names:
Those select few with gray names are administrators; basically, they are the gods of the forums. They can hand out permanent and IP bans, and do all the things a moderator can do (only better). These are the ones to contact about any account issues (altering, activating, etc.).
Example: oceanizer

I hope that clears everything up! May I request a sticky (and perhaps a lock, if necessary)?
