I think we need to report one-liner spam posts.

Dun worry andwhy, it's ok to fail once in a while,

but I (double)think the best formula of a post is
[highlight]SPAM + WHATEVERREFERENCE(like "that reminds me of..") + CONNECTION TO THE TOPIC(80% compulsory)[/highlight] --(heat)-->
POST OF WIN

Okay, here's my feedback, not going to each and every page to quote stuff though.

@DoubleThink - I agree with you on certain issues, but the spamming thing? I say, just allow casual spamming. But not serious and mass spamming, because if you disallow even casual spamming, like Metalogz said, there won't even be a friendliness amongst this community. I'd leave the forums if that happened. :/
As for the color issue, I would just say lighten up on it, because you can just highlight the person's text to see it, no?

@Metalogz - Hm, somehow, you seem to be the average spammer, no?

Constantly with your "LOL", "ROFLaifmaofmshtmfrolflololol", etc.

But I see your point, even though you just created a case of pot calling the kettle black for yourself -.- (Never understood that phrase, its as racist as Reversi, as me and DB have discussed)

@andwhyisit - I'd have to say that the gradients do blind me sometimes, but as I've stated.

You can always highlight.

I don't really want to argue with you guys anymore or anything, I'm going to bed soon.

WHAT THE.

I told you read read EVERY post!!! D:< I clearly stated that I don't mind random spam and at least I don't spam a whole page of nonsense =="

And yeah I suggested the highlighting thing but no one commented ):

Metal kinda posts with respect to my formula(before it was even introduced) although his spam sections never seemed to interest any of us(hehe sorry, no offense indeed)

And I was afraid to suggest highlighting as these guts, as they always wanna just stick to what they're used to, will refrain from changing their own style. Instead, they'll keep forcing the one who ignited(I can't think of any typical word here) the need to highlight. Loss for both, I guess :rolleyes:
btw cs lite really sucks ftw, so why'd you even bother using it?

Btw I've learned a new doomstyle(solved the no code problem. Go me!). Go figure

I always have to highlight too.

But would you rather be in a forum where everything is just easy to read or one where you have to highlight every other post or risk losing your eyesight? -.-;

@DoubleThink - I was tired, I only reached home at 1 am yesterday... I read through some posts, but not fully awake even though I slept quite alot.
@Metalogz - eh whatever

Oh right, not sure if anybody stated this, but I think being "offtopic" is okay as long as there is relevance to the topic somewhere in the post.

Then there wouldn't be doom text, my favourite. DDD,:

Btw I'd rather be in a forum where you have to highlight every other post or risk losing your eyesight.

Doom text is highly accepted in this forum. Full post colouring is the issue.

No. Just no. And who are you to decide whether its highly accepted or not? If someone started it, and people joined in, I'd just see it as a bandwagon. Which gets lame pretty fast.

Nope, again. Just highlight if you want to read, or just skip their posts. At the most you'll miss some information. :/

What you said could be replied with No U. Just highlight everything you read so dooms are not your prob anymore you lazy assed hypocrite.
But what's your real deal here that you're not being supportive on dooms?

And btw doomsday is over as soon as everyone has their own favourite skin so i'd probably stick to my new means of dooming. Go figure. gotohelldoomopposers(waitwasthatarealword?)

As far as I see no-one complains about doom text. The same cannot be said for full coloured posts though.

Either way, you can't make a rule about colours. If someone wants to stick to being stubborn with some pointless idea, fine. I don't see how colour adds character or life because all it does is makes you want to skip the post, but technically it's completely within rules and ethics.

To everyone except Canneth and Roonil, what Roonil said.

To Roonil, I support what you said. I don't see how it adds character and stuff as well, but, it depends on the poster's point of view.
