The Disqus Blog: Allow differentiation of moderators via bg color

    That's not a bad idea. I will bring it up in our next talk.

    Defintely a good idea!
  • MitchellBosecke · 10 months ago
    I think this would be an incredibly useful concept.
  • RenĂ© Fischer · 10 months ago
    Agreed! Would be great!

    It's already possible by CSS. But not as in-Disqus feature, obviously.

    Mind explaining HOW? I see no way to differentiate moderators/admins/authors from normal commenters

    Sorry, I must've been sleep-deprived or something; I thought you requested something to set the admin apart from the users (thinking about a special background colour for instance), and not admin vs. moderator.

    Well, actually yes and no. I was looking for a way to vary something (background color, in this instance) when an admin, moderator, or regular user posts. As far as I know, the only way to do this with CSS is to have custom CSS entries with crazy selectors indicating specific usernames.

    If you know a way to easily distinguish _anyone_ at the CSS level, please let me know.

    What I was really requesting, is some different indicator for a moderator, admin, or user. Something like:
    <div id="comment12345" class="normalcomment">joe: I'm some guy commenting</div>
    <div id="comment12346" class="modcomment">me: I am the moderator and I am awesome</div>

    The text field background for admins and moderators alike can be changed as Daniel so patiently showed me here. Other variables than text background should be alterable as well.

    I haven't fidgeted a lot with Disqus CSS, but I don't think there's a separate class for moderators vs. admins. Feel free to experiment, though.
