Green Font Color?
Miss Spaulding…
Would you please PLEASE freaking Please!!! lose the green font color on your posts?
I could teach you how.
But then, we have more important things on our minds.
Jeesh!
This post has been graped by the GreenGrapist.
Hurray for Miss Spaulding! Warned against using a nicer font she is now posting in green, I highly approve and in sympathy for her cause I will do nothing.
Eh, makes her posts easier to skip over. Rather than her stopping, I wish a few other similar posters would switch to the same shade of green.
Quoting Kermit the Frog: “It’s not easy being green”.
Ah, let her keep posting the way she’s posting. Maybe now that she’s been mod noted, she’ll find her own way out of here by disregarding moderator instructions.
First they came for your fonts. Then they seized your font size. Next they confiscated your font colors.
What next?
Eh. I agree the color makes her posts easier to skip. I think it’s a little funny to mod note her about it, it’s a function available on the Board and we’re free to mock her mercilessly just as she’s free to display idiocy without us even having to read it. If her posts were normal, I might accidentally start reading one. Being green, yeah, really easy to just ignore.
**We’ve got colors on the Board now? YIPPEE!!

That’s just greedy.
I solved the problem the easiest way I know how. Figured anyone who needs colored fonts to bring attention to themselves has nothing worth saying.
There’s two Oscar winners in that.
I’m confused. She got modded because she posted in a coloured font? Is that posted in the rules somewhere? Or was she supposed to psychically know that, I wonder?
While I’ve only seen coloured fonts used sparingly and on rare occasions, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone modded for it before.
Is this a new thing? Or something I’ve just never been aware of before?
Why have it available if it’s so offensive to employ?
Told you I was confused! Anyone care to clarify?
Wasn’t Spaulding the “Are you going to eat your fat?” kid from Caddyshack? I can’t imagine why anyone would miss him.
As has been pointed out by at least one poster, people on the unfortunate end of the color-blindness spectrum can’t see green text on a white background.
So, maybe a win for them, too…
Should there be a rule on font/size tags?
Best to read the thread for the full context.
The African explorer …
[nitpick]I don’t think she was mod-noted for the color, but for the font (‘Palatino Linotype’)[/nitpick]
At any rate, I have the feeling she won’t be with us long enough for it to matter.
Palatino Linotype. At least the post I looked at.
It looks to me like she was mod-noted for using alternate fonts & colors as an attention-getting ploy, rather than just to be distinctive.
