What does it mean when a post's background turns pink?

It means the site mods are using their mod powers

Oh really when?

Does that mean that Willbyr, in [1], is a moderator? Or does that mean he/she did something that caused a moderator to use a power on him/her?

Willbyr is indeed a moderator. We have a complete list at Know the Staff. A post in pink means that it's being posted in moderator capacity, not as a mere poster.

All the moderators are listed on Know the Staff, by the way.

That is indeed the case. If you see a post that looks like that, it's a good idea to pay attention to what's in it.

Also if you will notice under Willbyr's avatar there is a shield Icon with an M. That is a moderator badge. Anyone with posts in white or pink with that badge means they are a moderator.

The Green shield with an H means they are a forum herald. A person who helps out individuals new to a particular section of the fora.
