Re: Gods I hate colored speech text
I embraced it when I seen others were doing it. While I don't mind in general reading a book without it. The site itself, and especially if it is a long post. It is sometimes difficult to read everything the way it is there with some of the spacing. So the color does really help, and sometimes tells my brain that this is stuff I need to focus on a little more. Sometimes if it isn't there, the speech can blend into everything else for me.
Unfortunately for either side of this, it is a preference of the person typing it out. As a GM though, you can request that someone not use it in your game. But that is really the only thing you can do. I was thinking for a moment there was an option to turn that off for your side at least, so you don't have to see it. But I think I am thinking of another site or something else.
