[@Vilageidiotx] I don't get your point, colours help differentiate dialogue and allow me to locate them at a glance without affecting anything else. You speak as though they inherently lower the quality of the post when used, which is the most ridiculous notion I've ever heard from anyone who dares call themselves a roleplayer. It's a visual thing, it's like saying road signs make the road less effective. I would not understand how anyone would go as far as to leave / reject roleplays or roleplayers just because there's a hint of colour like you say you do, but hey, honestly - I wouldn't even want to be in any roleplay you start having heard that. Who knows how many other weird things you obssess over. [@Dinh AaronMk] I tried to read your quotes, I really did - but halfway, my eyes got too strained trying to find the dialogue through that unecessary amount of words, that I simply stopped reading. I'm sure their content is something you feel proud of but none of it was good enough to keep me reading ...maybe some other day. When I really have nothing else to do. Maybe not. I've got a feeling certain people are just unsatisfied there is disagreement towards their thinking and thus are so irritated by the existence of colour, but let me tell you something you two kiddos - COLOURS ARE HERE TO STAY. Deal with it. I mean that you can gripe about how colours make posts look too vivid or how irritated you feel by their existence, but unless you tell me you're prone to seizures from visual overstimulation, I will never understand your hatred towards coloured dialogue. Or try to understand it. I just know that colours can help the reader and as a writer I don't mind taking that extra step to make my posts easier to read, in conclusion: - - - anyone who thinks colours will help their post, go ahead to employ them. Those that dislike colours so much that they will barr their own characters from interacting with you because of it, are the minority and are not even worth considering. Keep in mind that there will always be sensible individuals like myself who aren't palette-phobic, who see the proper use of colours as a sign that you've gone the extra mile to make things easier to read. That, is never unappreciated.
