Duplicate of MC-187744, which is just more widespread than just the pack menus.

Can reproduce. Please don't impersonate mods.
Do not worry; he is an actual moderator.
MMK21, what are you talking about?
I thought mods had a background (like you have a green background). But I've just double checked and the OP is actually a mod. Sorry!
No problem :)
The background color apparently only shows when mentioning a user (e.g. Marcono1234) and for comments.
