The Goddamn Irony.

Glad to see somebody agrees with me that yellow/green text, and text like this is rediculous.

*head explodes*

It isn't really that bad if it's normal size and a darker color, but text like this really, really bothers me.

I can deal with tiny font but only up to a certain extent.
I give the people who write in white font the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they're just shy/guilty about writing that post.


However, yellow font blinds me! gonk  

[MadnessFreak]

Ahh. Conformity.

I hate it when people post in pastel colors. It's so hard to read! Mabye if the background was black it would be okay, but it just doesn't work on a white background. I also hate it when people post in little tiny letters.

I don't mind text that is a bit smaller, and some different colors are fine, but cyan and yellow do become a hassle to read.

Note: For future refernce, it's spelled 'Ridiculous', not 'Rediculous'. It's a common mistake though, so don't fret. =P  

[MadnessFreak]

Bleh. I blame my upbringing.

You know what also bugs me, here on Gaia and anywhere else?

HUUUGE signatures, especially blinking ones that just SCREAM at your eye to look at it. Why?? gonk

While we're on the topic of annoying, the one thing that drives me insane is massive page stretching. Especially when some idiot comes into a good thread and makes it impossible to read. And as for the text, I agree that only lighter colors are annoying.

 

[Kiwee]

Shoot, do you mean the color I use? I thought it was readable enough, and it's not that tiny.
I agree with the giant siggies and the page stretching. Annoying.
But you know what's worse? People who start threads that has a rule that says "no page stretching" and their first post stretches the page. Damn hypocrites.

Your color is readable. Mine might not be, but I can't say it bothers me if people can't read my posts. Most of the things I say are pointless anyways.

 

[[Psychotic.Ballerina]]

I always try to make my posts bold and dark so it's easier for everyone else to read. I do that on every message board I go to.

It's worst here. People go out of their way to make perfect posts with proper grammar, punctuation, context and the like.

Then the make their text bright pink/yellow/green, add some strikethroughs and italics, then make it rediculously small.

This, in my opinion, is worse than txt-tlk, I'm going to go get some blind glasses now.

What do you think of this rediculous text-mutilation?

Actually, while I'm quite against bright text--I prefer using dark red myself--I'm not against font style changes or effects. Sometimes, unless we do stress a word with italics or bolding, we might not get the point across, or might even seem rude and sarcastic.

I like strikethroughs because I usually only use it to cross out an earlier statement which could've lead to a joke, but isn't what I would want to say.

And personally, I don't like the standard text size on this site, so I do make it smaller.

I suppose the only thing I'm really against is bright text, unless you're sending letters or something and want to send the colors of the rainbow. In which case, I really do question what you do in your free time.

-nods- They make me twitch, is all I have to say.

Let me guess, you're giving me very subtle hints in which you hate my 500x450 sig?
