    Moderators Using Red

    I have begun to notice that moderators are using red for there "modetorial" posts. Like: this one.

    While I do see the point of attracting attention, in all honestly it often distracts me from the thread and gives messages that arn't supposed to have an ominous tone an...ominous tone. Not to mention it is entirerly garish.

    I would like to request its discontinued use, or perhaps a switch to a more mellow color. This would provide the same attention grabbing affect without the teachers red pen feel.

    Actually, I quite like red. I think I'll start using it when I have to mod posts. Thanks Bonnet!

    In my neck of the woods, the moderators use italics. I dislike the idea of using colour because it often leads to posts being unreadable in some skins.

    I agree with the green suggestion. Red makes me think Dyn has been doing nasty things again.

    As a rule, mods don't edit other people's post without a good reason. Whether it be to snip out a link, or to try and prune a post in order to get a thread back on-topic, editing other people's posts is one of the more rarely used tools in my experience. Since it is only used in cases when the mod has a point to make (ie linking to naughty pics is bad), the use of red text seems appropriate to point out the offense made by the edited post.

    bonnet: red is visible on all skins, not sure about your mellow green. I generally use italics though.

    Green is barely visible on the SM skin.

    Bonnet, Caesar isn't a moderator, you know.
    My Interceptor is better than your Interceptor.

    Orange is awful on the Dark Minimal skin because it's the same colour as the links.
