This has gotten out of hand really quickly. Could someone please get them to stop? It's really distracting and makes reading it difficult. And AFAIK, I can't just choose to hide them like I could signatures.

I'd PM them and ask them to stop, but I don't want to have to PM about seven people like that.

I agree, some colors can be hard to read for some people, and it can hurt others.
What if they don't stop, colors get taken away for set amount of time?

[Excalibur]

By this, do you mean coloured text in their posts?

I dont mind the brown text, but the radioactive red, green or blue around the edges with white text in the middle is annoying.

[Goober5000]

Fascists.  Whatever happened to free speech?

[JGZinv]

I sorta like the extra people posting in a different color, takes away
from the usual standard.

Doing nothing but posting about your colors for a whole thread just to waste
space.... as a person with moderator/admin status on other forums, I can't say is
ever a good thing.

If it were not harder to read, I might change to green myself...

As to visibility, like the black and spoiler type colors, why not just highlight
the text?

[karajorma]

If people want to post in hard to read colours that's their choice. If no one else can be bothered to read or respond to their comments because it's too much effort to highlight their text then that is their problem.

Freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean people have to listen to you.


On the other hand if I see yet another topic which has been derailed just so people can discuss their colours again action will be taken.

Loosely related. Tiny text. Am I the only one who finds it annoying?

I think that most people are doing it in protest of Mobius's use of colored text.

Yeah. Spammers Frequent posters like me and him shouldn't be using colored text.

Nope. I do too.

Holy ****, i need an asprin after trying to read GenFS. And i concur on the small text too.

Nope. I do too.

It's yet another example (like beaming and welcome speeches) of people trying to do what the cool kids do and getting it all wrong.

The only real purpose of small text is to point out you were being sarcastic so as to not ruin the joke. Even then it should be used sparingly.

Again the solution is simply to ignore it.

[Fineus]

I have two words for you people.

Peer pressure.

Those of you who find it annoying, feel free to say whatever you wanted in a thread and add "By the way, that tiny text is really annoying" or something afterwards. If enough of you do it - hopefully those who're doing it in the first place will start thinking twice as it'll become obvious that nobody is liking it.

[karajorma]

Just don't turn it into the subject of every thread.

[Fineus]

Oh yeah, that's what I meant be "add". It's an afterthought, not the topic.

[colecampbell666]

This is getting out of hand.

[vyper]

Or people could stop whining.

You beat me to it.

[Black Wolf]

I've been trying to think of something witty to say on the coloured text thing for awhile now... it's just not coming...

[Hippo]

You and Maeg were the only people to have coloured text, and it was tastefully done, and now it sucks because noobs have been making this place look like a preschool lately.
