Have you seen MetaSeraphim star in a comic? No? That's what I thought. :rolleyes:
*sigh* First of all, since when does anything to do with the Comic font need to have starred in an actual comic? It's just a font, and the "Sans MS" part even only describes it's properties. Okay, actually "Comic Sans" is it's name, and "MS" stands for Microsoft, as in "the Microsoft's version of the font", but after first seeing the name, I figured that it lacked some MS, whatever that is. Again, have you seen Microsoft star in a comic? No? That's what I thought. And last, I thought it was a funny coincidecne. Geez, get a life...

Yes. It's obvious Bobcat is blaming something that is their fault for allowing it to go on, on me.
Who...?
...is that andwhyisit's nickname or something..? o.o;
I'm starting to get lost.....

Yes it is. I know this thread has dragged on too far, but what's being said needs to be said.

The whole point of me using colors in my post in this thread was to make a point.

The rules are there to be followed, not broken. And when Administration allows one sole user to break this rule and get away with it the entire purpose of said rule goes out the window.

If you're going to allow one person to break the rules you should allow all of them to break them, or simply remove the rule. No matter how small the rule may be it's an injustice when someone can get away with breaking it.

There are no "special" users on the forum so therefore no one should get special treatment. Every single person on this forum is the same, and that goes for Admins too.

In short. Don't blame something on someone else that you brought upon yourself anywhyisit.
Hey as I said, it wasn't me. I just assumed that the reason why Dragonboots wasn't pulled up on it by SP or anyone else was because he had some kind of special exception to the rule. I did not put that exception into place, I just assumed it was already there.

I have found a way to disable the functionality of the [color] BBcode. Should I do it?

Code:
/* ***** disables all [color] bbcode ***** */
#posts font { color:[default colour]; }

Don't you think that's a bit extreme...?

You know what? I am sick of being an admin.

I am sick of people pushing more resposibility on me than I signed up for. I am sick of people telling me off constantly no matter what I do. I am sick of having to be everywhere at once on these forums instead of living my life.

I think I want my moderator role back because I was less stressed when I was just a moderator. These forums can go to hell for all I care.

....?

Something else the matter...? It doesn't seem that a little argument over some colourful letters would make you explode like so....
Maybe you're being too nice? I've met Admin's who seem to act like complete assholes, but the place runs smoothly because of them and their low toleration for bull crap....
I'd like to help, but I'm not sure how I could....

What I meant was that is wasn't just you, it's everyone, this role has been stressing me out for a while now. And yes I am waaaay too lenient for an admin role.

I have now downgraded myself to moderator.

That was less aimed at you than it was any Admin that breaks and allows "special" others their own rules.

I shouldn't have added that last part I admit.

Also, before you demoted yourself you could have just gone in and edited the usergroups instead.
