So, me and Wing were discussing in chat how we are kind of stuck in a little situation. It applies to everyone, don't worry. I'm getting there. So now some admins=bcrats too. Six in total. So we were thinking that maybe it's a good idea to get rid of the bending symbols in chat and replace them so they balance. If we were to just leave it as is, there is a defined line between Bird, Hydro, Wing and then Me, Riri and soon to be Gig. Two different colors and two different symbols for the same rank. See how that seems off? The reason this is a level five and staff vote is because the members who are level fives (ability to vote) matter just as much. Any one of you could one day have this symbol, so your say is as important as ours.

1. We have firebenders, waterbenders, airbenders and even non benders but only three ranks now on the site. How are we suppose to balance that out? Each is as equal and important as the others. No one should be divided by colors when they are both bcrats.

For example: Currently my name is in red, but I have bcrat status and am equal to Wing or Bird or Hydro. My symbol in chat is the fire. It doesn't make sense for me to have a different icon.

2. We need three symbols. I've found three possibilities. I'm welcome to suggestions.

3. I say we have orbs to go with the colors of our names depending on rank. Blue, green, red.

(we already have colored names for ranks outside of chat anyway)

Blue - bcrat

Red - existing admins

Green - chat mods

I know everyone loves the bending symbols in chat and even some just don't care about them but anyone who doesn't want a certain something by their name, or if they think the orbs are ugly, it's okay. You won't see the color by your name anyway. You will just see others.

I want to thank you for reading through and taking time to vote, my lovelies. Have an awesome day and weigh the decision carefully in hand.
