Colored screen names

What was your reasoning?

The beefs that people had with the color tended to be an argument that I don't think held much water (save for the white/yellow unreadable colors).

I was either for a free for all or a none for all. I thought the free all looked horrible as did many other posters.

See, I'm not sure that "looking horrible" was a good enough reason. I mean, if we're really that concerned about presentation, there's about 1500 avatars and horrible screen names that need to die too.

I do agree that if it was implemented it shouldn't have been just who knew a mod. (that's what custom titles are for!).

The thing is as it is now and was precolor explosion, colors had meaning that benefited 2p2 users. Red meant admin or author and Green meant Moderator. These colors had purpose.

The other colors had no purpose. Thus, I do think it is appropriate to look at issues like forum presentation when deciding their fate. Of course this is all a matter of opinion and can't be argued conclusively in either direction.

This reasonable approach is going to do nothing for your reputation as a power hungry nazi.

Users have the option to turn off avatars. Colored screen names are there whether you want them or not. That makes it pretty different, in my opinion.

yea, i knew that too, don't know why i made it soundn like something we could change.. guess it was jsut a complaint about how it happened.

But anyways, it's no biggie.
