One small issue with the way Section 10 is interpreted:

10. Name Colors on Front Page

Under the Latest Discussions and Overclocking News sections, you've probably noticed the large list of members. This is a great tool at times. You've probably also noticed that names are difference colors and such. This is not random and is great for finding certain members in a hurry. Also notice that your name will always appear first.

Maroon Bold - Forum Managers, the highest level of management.
Dark Green Bold - Senior Moderators, Managers > Moderators
Green Bold - Forum Moderators
Green Italic - Vendor Reps, those who pay to advertise their products on the forum. (more info here)
Teal Bold - Chat and Gameserver Moderators
Blue Bold - Editors in specific sections. Red and Green Moderators > Editors (can't find the right color

, but you get the idea)
Black Italic - Retired Directors
Black - Have an overclocked account
Blue - Regular Member
+ next to name - They are in your friends list.

Also, note the arrow in the top right of the member window. You can collapse it if you don't want it there.

Editors and Moderators do not fall under the same branch of organization when it comes to Overclock.net's Staff Structure. Therefore, your above statement is false. Editors are not below or above Moderators and the same is true about the ladder. Overclock.net has an Editorial Staff (which all of the Editors belong too) and a Moderation Staff (which all of the senoir, forum, chat, and gameserver mods belong too). Artisans and Vendor REPs belong to their own branch as well.

Coming back to the topic, Editors and Moderators are all similar in the sense that we belong to the Overclock.net Staff, but our roles and responsibilities differ making it impossible to compare us on a "greater than or less than" scale. I hope that I was able to clarify things a little better

Ah, good to know. Is there a chart/thread/etc. that shows the structure of the site? If not, that may be a good thing to have. Some kind of flow chart of the OCN staff.

Anyway, I'll just remove the comparisons to keep it accurate. Thanks for the correction.

There exists one but we are constantly revisiting it as the site grows and changes. The structure is about as dynamic as the site

But for a small break down:

Code:

Forum Managers > Senoir Mods > Forum Mods
                             > Gameserver Mods
                             > Chat Mods
                                           
             > Managing Editor > Editors
