Not quite banning Anime avatars... https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=32350.msg408646#msg408646

But can we impose some sort of restriction on colored and bolded text in the forum?

I mean, it's okay in small quantities, but reading a paragraph in bright bolded pink or whatever really bugs me. Again, there are exceptions, if it was meant to symbolise something in terms of a short story or thematic thread, but when it is just to post your opinion in a thread which really has no need for it...

A few months ago (for a vet like me, this could mean up to a year ago), someone decided that they wanted to use yellow text. And if I recall correctly, Comic Sans. While I admit that there is a diffence in flavour and taste, this person was strongly discouraged to continue (and I didn't even have to say a single word).


In my opinion, having some sort of discouragement on having a personal text color for the forums will make it much more pleasant to browse and read, especially if its about to become a 'thing' every person with an opinion and personality will need to do.

Feel free to disagree with me on this one, but just to support my own point, I have included in spoiler this same argument in a personalised font. Enjoy!

So I should stop using this? IMO it is not hurting anyone. Unless this kind thing takes space and/or does something to the server. I will stop using Colored text if SG asks.

The generic default gray color of text on this forum is perfect, not too bright, not too dark.
Every other color is somehow harder to read, for me.

I like how Napalm is using a red color. I think ET's green is ok too. I didn't see that pink anywhere, although I agree it's a lot more disturbing.

Yeah, using weird colors for normal posts feels unnecessary for me.

Why is it that you're so much better than the rest and need some special color for your text, isn't the default font good enough for you? Colors are nice for emphasizing things or something, but not really as a default for entire texts. And I've been kind of ignoring those attention screaming texts whenever I can.

And to make my point I used this lovely unreadable color. Of course, all other colors are easier to read, but that is irrelevant.

Why would anyone want to write something colored anyway?
Looking for attention? Or simply to annoy folks?
As I don't se any reasonable explanation, I'm for banning all colours!

I actually stared at torb's post for a minute or two wondering how long it'd take to load some text.

I agree with DD though. Even though it doesnt really bother me I find Nap's red text pretty annoying to read for example. I don't think it has to be restricted or forbidden, maybe just discouraged.

And you're just an example Nap ;)
