Text changes for font styles, sizes and colors of any sort are not permitted in posts by role-players who aren't mods in the IC portions of the site. (IC = In Character, or posts made in the Hunt threads within Projects.) Font changes are used to enhance the mood of the roleplay, but now it has proven to be more of an issue then a luxury. Due to the past abuse of it and several complaints, we can no longer be lenient about this.
Font changes in the IC portions of the site will now only be used sparingly by Gantz mods for updates. These uses will be for Gantz text, player post corrections and notes. If none of the allowed exceptions apply the mod's post will remain the same color and size as the site's default font color.
1st Offense - Will result in a warning and correction of your post.
2nd Offense - Your post will be deleted and you will be issued a temporary ban.
3rd Offense - Your post will be deleted and you will be banned permanently.
If you have any questions see if I address them below before asking them in this thread.
Q: Why is this happening?
A: This is becoming ridiculous. When people abuse the use of font changes IC it tends to irritate others who may want to read your post, including the mod.
Q: Can I change my font freely around the rest of the parts of the site that are OOC? (OOC= Out of Character)
A: Yes, you may.
Q: Can I still make use of the bold, italics and etc etc...
A: Yes, but only to a certain extent. There is no reason why your entire post should be bold, italicized, striked out or underlined. Use your best judgement, if there's a problem we will inform you.
Q: What if my font color or style doesn't appear to be painful on the eyes if used?
A: Rules are rules and there will be no exceptions.
