Slightly Annoying

[MrsLime]

I pretty much don't post here anymore, but I still occasionally read some threads.  One relatively small thing that has slightly annoyed me from the start, is that some posters elect to ALWAYS use a non-default font colour.  We can clearly see who wrote each message, as their name (and avatar, if present) are shown to the left of their post.  Why do these individuals think that their message is so much more important than those of other members that it warrants highlighting?  Imagine if every member was so undignified as to have his/her own garish custom font setting!  I do not understand the advantage or point of changing this setting.  If it is allowed at all, coloured text should be reserved for Admin or Mods making official announcements.  The complementary colour scheme of the forum was carefully chosen (and with much heated debating at the time, if I recall correctly) and I feel that gaudy user-selected colour combinations undermine that effort.  Do other members of the board agree/disagree?

I'll just go and ask Purple Bob what (s)he thinks.

i just find it amazing that the colout of text would get to you so much. i would say we are all important enought to have red of green ect its just that some of us have more imagination and put a little more effort to brightening up the site.

give me more colour, thats what i say

Some of the colours i have to squint to read , now they are annoying

I've only realised one person using colour, and i'm not 12 or mental so it doesnt bother one bit.

No worries here, and i can think of anyone using any dodgy colour schemes on here anyway.

Well, as I am the ONLY poster on blonde that consistently uses a non default font colour, I assume this thread is directed at me.

I have never implied or feel that my posts are more important than any other posters, and find it laughable that you would assume such a thing, it shows just how little you can know about a person by simply judging them on font colour.  I do not expect you to understand why I change the colour as I have no real reason why I do it, I like the colour, I choose to post in the colour and it's as simple as that.

The options are available for any person to use if they so wish, some people post pics in their sig line which I actually find annoying. But, the difference is I know it's each to their own and wouldn't dream of trying to make assumptions about a persons character based on such a ridiculous thing.

Couldn't agree more...

What harm is it doing?

If she wants to post in a non-default colour, let her...the option is obviously there for a reason.
