Can we add "makes the character speak in a different colour/bold/italics/all at once" to the list of annoyances? I don't care how fucking pretty it is, it' completely brings me out of the RP, because it's what I read first - usually skipping at least a paragraph's worth of text because OF COURSE it's the "literate" ones who does this. The worst was the guy who used four colours in one post - black for the main prose, green for one character, bright pink for another and yellow for the last.

I should note that I don't mind if the whole text is in a different colour/font as long as it's still readable. It's when it keeps shifting that I get annoyed.

The "coding takes longer than the actual writing" bit is what gets me. People spend so much time coming up with post formats! I don't get it; the post format is unimportant, so shouldn't the post be what takes the most time to complete?

But there I go, trying to apply logic where it doesn't belong.
