I don't really see why we need a special rank for people who are autopatrolled. The ranks aren't for credit, they're for access to hidden boards and whatnot.

There are ranks for Wiki Patrollers, Sysops, and Bureaucracts, and Autopatrols are also considered part of staff.
 
If the wiki staff decided that autopatrols didn't need special coloring on the wiki (like the patrollers/sysops/crats got) then I don't see why we need to give them that on the boards.

autopatrols aren't really staff (or at least as staff-ish as the other ranks), they're just trusted users around the community. being autopatrolled changes just about nothing in terms of editing.

they aren't considered staff in anyway
 
Autopatrols are really just users who were formerly part of the staff and some trusted users. They're not staff, they're just some trusted users who help the staff. Though autopatrols are a step above regular users, it's just a TINY step. It's a bit like a glorified autoconfirmed status, except autopatrols only get their edits marked as patrolled. It's nothing major, really.
