Should we enable font colors?

[Antrax]

phpBB comes with color tags built in. We disabled it for the time being, for GL-compliance. However, should we keep it off?

where's the option: yes- but only blue

really though, i understand that they can get annoying-i voted no. i'd rather have no blue than to have to look at bright pink ot yellow on the screen....

_{but... i wouldn't mind my old tags back}

[Digit Ne]

I voted yes, but would it be possible to keep it from some users who abused the privilege? After fair warnings, of course.

[Antrax]

Not without some special coding.

I voted yes. I've seen them put to good use on scum. It's easy to mark the dead with a color for their alignment...

[Porro]

Yes. Why not

As long as the psycadelic blinding colours are banned

No colour. You can use strikeout for dead people in Mafia, and for alignments, maybe use different emoticons? There is a devil for EVIL.

Maybe only the thread starter should be allowed to use color tags. Then game moderators could use it to draw attention to important stuff.

[Termital]

Why don't we just try it first and see if it actually is a problem or we're just imagining stuff. Myself, I'd rather have colour and lose the BIUS tags.

I think it can be used to benefit all. On mafifascum some games have used them to indicate for instance the evil people dead in red and the good people in green. In that case I would suggest it has a purpose. If people start misbehaving by annoying others it might be good to be able to block colors for certain people or something. Or you could enable it per person, if thats possible.

All we really need is blue, red, and maybe green.

I don't think we need colours. They're too hard to spell.

And Termital: OMGUS.

Vote: only blue. of course, you can kinda get the effect by using false url tags

[Amb]

Could we customise the tags and only tell cool GLers, and then when a non cool GLer hacks them, we change them
