Albert thinks that's overkill. You can use custom css though.
Which is proving to be quite difficult, as latter :after seems to overwrite the earlier one. Something different like text decoration might work, though.

The level of Janitor has some of the abilities Moderators have unlike Contributors which only have no upload limits. You would be revoking those users of some of their privileges by removing the Janitor level.
The janitor level doesn't have any abilities now, they're effectively the same as builders. Not sure why Albert didn't remove the level.

According to the changelog, they've been added with this version.
They only partially work right now.
I was about to make a comment like Schrobby and MagicalAsparagus. We don't need the contributor and janitor levels if permissions are treated like a badge earned and not a level ranked up, it's deputizing and delegating functions so that Moderators aren't overwhelmed, and keeping the color system for permissions retains the structure we now have.
Also, this is my opinion, but I think that gaining such a permission should also invoke an upgrade to builder status. We've got 2 member level users with approval powers, which seems rather odd. We should bring them up to builder at least.

May I ask why users, which are picked randomly by the generator, are preferred over users, which are asked about their time and willingness to help?
My guess is to mitigate nepotism and selection bias. The system seems based on the draft principle rather than recruitment.
I think the eternal criticism that Danbooru is enforces the tastes of the staff is taken seriously and so they want to reduce the perception of nepotism. Just my speculations.
