Accepted Allow red in shoutbox

Censorship of ideas never ends well.

 

I mean it's worked decently for North Korea so far seeing as they haven't completely collapsed, obviously not a perfect solution but it's viable in some situations (not this as this is an good suggestion in some ways)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Yea man think of all those sweet missiles

 

Can we just for the final moment specify exactly how much red is too much red? That way we never have to worry about the confusion at all we can just say, past this number is too much red. I'm tried of all the constant arguing in shoutbox over what red is too red and what not and having it vary per admin. Tell us exactly how much red is too much red in this paragraph.

 

blank as ur personality bby

 

I think what I find most about this is that people don't want announcements to have a red highlight because it's ugly. If it were pleasant on the eye, it wouldn't be an effective alert. There is a reason red is the chosen colour: It's jarring on the eyes and stands out without being unreadable.

 

hey thats pretty good

 

Red is not allowed for good reason for the mods and admins and important posts just leave it at that.

 

this.

 

still this people

 

past this number is too much red.

It really is concerning that yall cant come to a conclusion about a color choice. Shouldnt take long to come to an agreement.

 

why cant we just say allow no shade of red and be done with it. A color should really not make this big of a deal

 

I've added a separator in between what I personally think is use-able and what isn't (but depends on admin). Have fun with your answer.

 

The issue is the line moves based on every staff member. Might get told a color is okay by one admin only to be banned by another. There needs to be uniformity.

 

Which is exactly why I said depends on admin (in regards to what can't be used, not what can be imo)

 

I don't know why this forum exists as the rule is clear about the use of red and similar shades of it.

Be sure not to use the color red or similar shades of it (as it is reserved for announcements only).

Similar shades includes all red to close to red, yes pink"ish" red is still a form of red, dark-red is still red. You can pop it, loop it, turn and twist it, but red remains red. So a contrast of red is red and that be the end of the discussion as it is far more controllable to put "red and similar shades" in the rules in stead of "color numbers .. to color number .." as not everybody would understand it.

So all red from this red to even this red are forbidden to use (unless for important messages).

 

JUST USE THIS RED, IT'S BROWN
