All the other things I am neutral towards, so I did not vote for or against them.
I want the colors back.

You are wrong. The
results show that many regular users voted to have the colors back. Colors is, at press time, simultaneously, the least liked, and most disliked, change.
I liked the colors, they let me know ranks easily, and they looked cool. The admins don't look the same not gray, the global moderators don't looks the same not blueish, and the moderators don't look the same not orange. Of course we could just throw out all the themes and use plain text instead. It'd free up bandwidth too. Hey, why not just do that?
I might not be here today if this site was black and white all over.
Now, I think a site should be set up like this:
- Owner: *
- Admin: Moderates users and forums.
- Global Moderator: Moderates all the forums
- Hive necessary:
- Moderator: Moderates some subset of forums that have special needs/rules.
- Resource Moderator: Moderates resources, not forums or users.
Moderators should not have access to IP addresses, or the ability to give infractions, and ban a user, this is what admins are trusted to do.
Recently there was a user banned by a mod at the "request" of a user. I do not see that the moderator should be demoted, but that the ability to ban should be revoked from all forum moderators. Banning is something to be trusted to an admin.
If I am to understand the infraction system, moderators can give infractions, of any point value, at any time, and 10 infraction points results in a ban. This gives moderators the ability to ban. Sure it was TheDivineBoss, but that was just today. Who will it be tomorrow? In my opinion, if you want a user banned and the current admins are not fulfilling their duties adequately, then you need to find someone who can be trusted to be an admin.
