I inspected the user-specific styling today and it was a mess! We have admins and mods with no custom styling, no way to distinguish wiki mods from FB mods, and some of the styles are partially missing or don't have their own unique colour! I want to clean up this mess!

Everyone with full moderator status (discussion or content), every admin or bureaucrat, and every Mod Team Member (inofficially known as "FB Mods") can choose a colour that will be used as border to highlight your posts. The same colour is also used to highlight links to your user page, but you may select a different colour for that if you want. If you are in the mentioned usergroups but don't have a colour yet, post your preferences here in the comments.

There will be a new label for Mod Team Members, eg. @FB MOD (better suggestions welcome), which will replace the @MOD or @ADMIN for these users. This is to reflect that these people have a closer relation to the mod development and also may have certain roles such as accepting lore texts.

In the course of this cleanup I would also like to move all the current user specific CSS to JS, unless someone vetoes against it. This has the advantage that we have it all in one place, more consistent, cleaner, shorter, and easier to manage. It also has a few downsides: Changes only come into effect after the Wikia code review, it's less performant, and the styles are only in effect after the JS has loaded, which is slightly after the initial page load.
