He wants to show off & represent IDE though.

but it just looks so bad....and he's upgraded, he can just change his usertitle to IDE or whatever it is

Well it is his choice.

this is true, but in any regard, I don't think he should have to compromise between people being able to read his username and him getting the userbar he wants. @Oni should change the IDE color up

I agree with a color change, but then again that's upto @Killpot & @Axi

then why don't you change it?

Doesn't it cost nsp?

The actual "Username Color" option Is In my UserCP, and can be changed without NSP.  I did just that when I changed It to my current color.

I do agree with this suggestion though- particularly with colors that represent Staff. The segregation of Staff and members should be clearly distinguished. As for colors that clash with the board's background, the color range Is not that great, so I don't believe a ban on such colors will be too difficult to apply.

If I can't use a black username, I wont log on.

Too bad if you can't see. I can see. It's not your username. It's my account and my preference.

IDE is a bit of a pain to read, but I only have issues seeing @pvnk's username when on mobile.

I agree with this.

Staff impersonation should be blocked. Not sure about readability though, maybe make it so there's a boarder around dark colors.

A lot of suggestions you've been making lately Biggrin

There are written rules about staff impersonation; if people want to be stupid and not follow them, they can reap the consequences.

As for the readability of certain colours, if it becomes a legitimate issue (it has been only once that I can remember), staff can take appropriate action.

Would names like @Skullmate and @oni-sensai count as staff impersonation?
