Blue (Donator): These are the people who run the site behind the scenes. they donate money to pay for all of the services needed to run Otaku-Streamers. Their colors vary from different shades of blue. The darker shade of blue means the more money they have donated to the site.

: Dark Blue Text on the image to the left - OS Idol. Aside from a medal, this is the prize given to anyone who attains the title of OS Idol by winning the OS Idol event.

Staff:

Lime (General Moderator): Represents the Moderators. They enforce the rules on Otaku-streamers and have the right to delete posts and ban users (temporarily or permanently, depending on the offense). They watch over the forums, blogs, the shoutbox and chatbox. As of 09/01/2016, The position of Super Moderators, Chat Moderators and the Community Chiefs are removed.

-Rules: https://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). They can also remove episodes that are problematic as well as force remove uploader reservations if they are no longer uploading the series. You can approach Ceres and Kisae for this if you get impatient.

Orchid (Anime Moderator):
-Anime Moderator(s): The Anime Moderator replaces broken videos and assists in uploading anime. In a way, you can consider the Anime Moderator as the Super Moderator of the Video Mod team.
-At present, this role falls on mlcdl's shoulders and towards to FiQ5149's chest. Together they work to satisfy our everyday needs the best they can. Don't hesitate to send your concerns to them as they welcome constructive criticism and complaints with open arms.


-Frequently Asked Questions: https://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 (Uploader): 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 as 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: https://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, or perhaps they've been busy with their own lives lately. This title is no reason for disrespect. After all, the user still helped the site by adding even more titles to Otaku-Streamers' ever-growing collection of anime.
NOTE: As of November 21, 2010, all uploaders who have not uploaded a minimum of 100 videos will be switched to inactive uploader status after one month of inactivity.

Blue-Violet (GFX Artist): The GFX artists are responsible for the userbar and medals we are using today.

Pink (Support Admin): The Support Administrator has all the access of both the Moderators and Video Moderators. They are also the person to approach if you have problems with a staff or in need of someone to bug. We currently have two Support Administrators: Bindu1000 (K) and Dudette09 (Small k). Please bother the latter for anything you can think of as she does the same to us whenever she wants.

And, of course,

Red (Administrator): These are the founders of OS. With the help of the full OS staff 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 and of course, they handle further developing Otaku-streamers to be a better site(more than it already is ).

NOTES:

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

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.

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.
