Why some people use weird texts

Postby Tek2 » Wed Mar 07, 2012 2:38 pm

Why some people choose to type with annoying colours and big letters instead of using the normal one?

He doesn't use red anymore.
Some use italics, which is alright - normal is best.

The rules say we cant use anything but normal size and colour?

I just use it because I find it a refreshing change, Also an old habit from DeadFrontier where most everyone uses a colour, or different font/size.

Well in my perspective it's at the edge when it comes to

•Be excellent to each other, don't be annoying

•Distraction from post content.

•Spamming

Ill be completely honest in what I think this sprang up from,

Im pretty, If i have been correctly informed, that the same person (who will remain Unnamed) reported all of my posts which contained red lettering. For which I was approached by a member of administration (also unnamed) And told to stop.

I think this is just a new way of you guys nit picking at each other, you do it all the time.

-----------

So screw it, If the community is gunna get all hissy about it, about something so petty and easy to ignore.

Ill quit using it, I dont rather fancy the idea of being banned because enough ppl reported my posts as "distracting"

If they don't like people doing it, they should remove the ability to do it....

I'm pretty sure different color text is for special purposes not for whole wall of text. Which means that people who use different color for whole post are abusing this feature.
