Staff members of the Elemental Academy will be listed here on the front page and will also have a badge assigned to their signature marking them as such. Staff members in the Elemental Academy include Moderators, Gods or Goddesses of given elements, Head Masters and Masters of given elements, and Lead Instructors and Instructors of given elements. Their badges will each contain a color-coded header and a title designating their rank within the Academy as each color is listed in the image below. *Please note that staff members can also hold dual titles if applicable and their main title will be listed in the header with a separate color-coded bar underneath the main title to designate their second title within the Elemental Academy.
Gaia staff will be noted as such based on the color of their username and will have their designated title below their username. Gaia Administrators will be marked in Orange, Gaia Forum Moderators will be marked in Green, Gaia Forum Assistants will be marked in Purple, and Gaia Developers, Artists, and other staff will be marked in Brown. Regular Gaia members will have Black usernames while your Gaia friends will have Blue usernames. Remember that all Gaia Staff members have colored usernames and a title underneath that name specifying their role on Gaia. If there is not a title underneath their username they are NOT a staff member of Gaia Online in any way.
