I've been using italics for my own moderatorial posts, and colour when modifying someone else's post. No-one has misunderstood so far, and I don't see any need for a greater degree of formality. We already have clear indicators of our moderator status (and people can after all turn off display of signatures, as indeed I do).
A constructive suggestion.
Please don't jump to judge too harshly; you don't get to see the PMs and apologies that happen behind the scenes.
Bold, red text should be used for Moderator instructions/warnings. Using anything else would be silly on the order of school teachers using colors other than red when marking up tests because "red is too harsh and hurts Johnny/Jill's feelings when they see it".

This particular color red, though, is nearly unreadable on my screen. It doesn't help if you can't read what the moderator is trying to write.
Actually, it's a banhammer, just prettied up a bit. :-D
Displays just fine on my screen. Adjust your settings.
The moderators aren't responsible for your malfunctioning computer screen.
Needs more strobing.

Possibly an autoplay link to the CSI Scream (http://instantrimshot.com/index.php?sound=csi&play=true) that sounds off as it scrolls by, flashing.
