Name Colors Guide

[ShadowsLiyte]

This thread shows each possible name color, as well as how to obtain that color for yourself. If you're reading this please feel free to link it to new users, considering the question comes up all of the time.

Community:

Gray (Junior Member): Users with the gray name color are new users who have been with OtakuStreamers for under one month or have not posted at least 30 posts in the forums.

Orange (OS Regular): Orange represents users who have been with OtakuStreamers for at least a month AND have posted a minimum of 30 posts in the forums.
NOTE: Posts in forum games and the corner do not count to your post count.

Purple (OS Citizen): Purple represents users who have been with OtakuStreamers for at least three months and have a minimum of 200 posts in the forums.

Blue (Donators): They can be colored like "This" (VIP) "This" (VVIP), "This" (Ultra VIP), and This (OS Sponsor). These are the people who run the site behind the scenes. they donate money to pay for all of the services needed to run OtakuStreamers.

Staff:

Lime (Moderator): Green represents the moderators. They enforce the rules on Otakustreamers and have the right to delete posts and ban users (temporarily or permanently, depending on the offense). There are many types of moderators, including:
-Forum Moderator(s): All-around moderators. Have power over the forums, chatbox, shoutbox and video comments,
-Rules: http://otaku-streamers.com/community...cement.php?f=2

Pale Green (Chat Moderator): Have power over the chatbox and shoutbox

LightSeaGreen (Super Moderator): Light Sea Green represents the super moderators. They enforce the rules on Otakustreamers and have the right to delete posts and ban users (temporarily or permanently, depending on the offense).
-Russj and CloverLeaf are currently the only super moderators.They help out junior moderators when dealing with unruly users.
-Rules: http://otaku-streamers.com/community...cement.php?f=2

Beige/Peach (Video Moderator):
-Video Moderator(s): Check if reports on broken videos are valid (whether or not the video is actually broken).
NOTE: All moderators have power over the shoutbox.

Orchid (Anime Moderator):
-Anime Moderator(s): Closer to a support administrator than a moderator, the anime moderator replaces broken videos and assists in uploading anime.

Dark golden rod(?) (OS Tech Support): OtakuStreamers Tech Support is someone appointed to help site problems on your end (problems that may be caused by your settings, location, connection, etc).
-Frequently Asked Questions: http://otaku-streamers.com/community...ions-Tutorials

Brown (Retired Staff): This color tag is for members who, for whatever reason, have retired from their former position as a Staff member (instituted August 2012).

Khaki (Uploaders): They provide you with your anime. They convert the videos into a format that can be viewed by all audiences, then upload them to the administrators via MegaUpload. The videos are then uploaded to the site. Anyone can be an uploader, whether short-term or long-term. All you have to do is find the forum (link below) on how to convert the videos, then upload em' for the admins.
NOTE: As of November 21, 2010, all uploaders must upload the entire series they have started or a minimum of 12 videos to gain their uploader status. To permanently remain an uploader, they must upload at least 100 videos. Those who do not will be changed to inactive status after one month of inactivity.
-How to upload: http://otaku-streamers.com/community...-How-to-upload

Yellow-Green (Inactive Uploader): Inactive uploaders are uploaders who fail to upload at least one video per month. Reasons for this vary. For example, the user could have gotten tired of converting videos (it takes a long time and a lot of RAM), or maybe there was just one show the user wanted to share that wasn't already on the site. This title is no reason for disrespect. After all, the user still helped the site by adding even more titles to OtakuStreamers' ever-growing collection of anime.
NOTE: As of November 21, 2010, all uloaders who have not uploaded a minimum of 100 videos will be switched to inactive uploader status after one month of inactivity.

Pink (Support Admin): The only support administrator is Bindu1000. As the name implies, she supports the administrators of OtakuStreamers. Some of the things the support admin does include uploading videos (including those that other uploaders have dropped or given up on), making announcements, and also assisting as a moderator.

And, of course,

Red (Administrator): These are the founders of OS. With the help of the support admin, uploaders, moderators, Super Moderators and of course donators, they run the site. They assist in uploading and moderating, as well as fixing site problems such as video issues or glitches in the site.

NOTES:

Not all of the colors are completely accurate, but all are as close as I could get them using an HTML hex chart.

If a new name color appears and this thread is not updated, please contact me so I can add it. If possible, please give a description of what the new position does, as well as any privileges they may have.

If you are a staff member (Moderator, Uploader, Administrator, etc) and consider one or more of the above descriptions to be inaccurate, please notify me and give a modified description.

Quotes:

Spoiler for Quote from Avich [Administrator]: 

I have applied an option where you can switch what usergroup you want to be identified with. You won't be able to change from citizen to regular because you will lose that usergroup once you are promoted. It can only work if you have multiple usergroups at the same time, like being a VIP and an uploader.

To change, go to Settings > Permission Groups, and select what usergroup you want to be identified with.

If there would be problems due to this implementation, I will revert the changes.

In other words: By going to your User Control Panel (User CP) and selecting "Permission Groups" under "Settings", you may change between your current titles. For example, if you are an OS Citizen and an Uploader, you may switch between either the purple or the yellow nametag.

Spoiler for Quote from Evil105: 

This thread is only about explaining the colors which u can choose between in the new color system.

Here are the color groups For the new system u can choose between the groups but you can't chose between the colors inside the same group(I'm not sure about the OS Staff):

OS: Gray , Orange , Purple.
Vip(Donor): White, Sky Blue , Blue , Dark Blue.
Uploader: Greenish-yellow , Yellow.
OS Staff:Peach ,Green ,Dark Yellow*between gold, yellow and brown*,Pink ,Red.

*Merged into Name and color guide due to exact same topic and because this post adds value to the original thread*

To those who want to change their usergroup into their other available colors here is a link to the permission groups.

Thanks to CloverLeaf (Fepi), Jbluey (Jim), Bindu1000 (K), Avich (Chiva), Pikel, Ceres, and Evil105 for additional information.

I am soooo looking forward to being an donator..

In my mind, being blue seems cooler than purple.

Just as long as I get a paypal account then I might be all set.

Although there's still no new color added... *Still hoping that it'll come soon...hahaha.. T.T
