The point is that it is not your channel, it belongs to someone else. If they want to make certain rules for their channel, then it's their choice. What would you say if the channel required that you type ONLY in yellow or white? When you enter an unknown channel, it's good ettiquite to not type in color until you know that it is allowed.
I agree 100%
If I can quote myself ....
When I go into other people's rooms I always turn them them off out of respect
Again the point has been missed, my main argument is the way people are spoken to and the attitude behind the non color rule.
If a room doesn't want colors or like you said just yellow or something then fine, and the person coming into that room should respect that.
It's the general attitude from people telling others not to use colors, if someone comes in and spams the room with bright text all over the place then fair enough, they should be told off.
Ive seen it so many times, Ive seen people who are not using color scripts, been talking in a certain room for a few hours in normal text, and they for fun just do a quick line in color using Ctrl K, and then get shouted at, and have people WAY overreacting cos your USING COLORS!!!!
It's gotten stupid, in some rooms you would almost think the way they talk about it it's illegal.
Now as for my side argument about the background, I wasn't just refering to scripts, I'm also talking about people who use Ctrl K for the odd color here and there.
Like the example above, I don't think anything is wrong with that, ctrl k is a feature like changing the background, and again it's the elitist attitude from people shouting people down for using it.
What is wrong is for then an OP to go complelty bananas at the person who has for the entire time in chat been respectful.
You guys who don't agree with me are probably very sensible and adult about telling people not to use colors in your room, I think this why you don't quite understand me.
I'm talking about the elitist basterds, who over react and are just out right rude to others in chat.
So again to reapet myself I'm not talking about people who conduct themselves in a adult manner to tell others not to use colors, I'm talking about people who act like it is a crime against nature and shout people down in chat, it's over the top and rude.
Skip said it best ...
