--- Quote from: Odin on 26 Jan 2011, 11:58 ---Bold, red text should be used for Moderator instructions/warnings. Using anything else would be silly on the order of school teachers using colors other than red when marking up tests because "red is too harsh and hurts Johnny/Jill's feelings when they see it".

This particular color red, though, is nearly unreadable on my screen. It doesn't help if you can't read what the moderator is trying to write.

Displays just fine on my screen. Adjust your settings.
The moderators aren't responsible for your malfunctioning computer screen.

They aren't responsible for my colour blindness either, doesn't make it any easier to read...
Carl-E:
The colour density of red is almost the same as that of the grey used for this board's background, and though it stands out, the lack of actual contrast makes it difficult to make out the letters.
Personally, my thick glasses also give a red shift if I'm not looking straight-on at the text, and it not only makes it harder to read, but damned annoying to watch the letters dance as I adjust my angle of view.
Colours that have high contrast with the grey work better, like white or yellow. Pink's not bad, either, but I'm not sure I'd pay attention to a pink warning. It's too close to the white. Orange works, but it's getting a little "dark".
pwhodges:
All the moderators of these forums have always relied on their words being understood, and on sending PMs to drive the point home if necessary. This is the established way of working here, and I see no need to change that in this part of the forum or elsewhere. The matter of style is in any case small beer alongside the big change, which has been the introduction of active moderation in this particular subforum.
