Do they deserve that...?

Post by spacegaier »

Am I the only one thinking that the yellow color is disturbing and sending a wrong signal? I think spammer/deactivated user don't deserve a shiny yellow username, but instead something like gray (showing that they are disabled), if they need a different color at all.

What do you think? Should I actually be the only one thinking that :?

If I remember; it was down to yellow or pink. As the other colours were unsuitable or similar to existing group colours. Pink is too girly, so we went with yellow.

They would need a name to make us see them.. :wink:
Since we almost always delete their posts anyway - unless in border cases - you won't even notice that they're there.

I know this is wrong, but I enjoy reading the spam to see how lame it is. My favorites were the ones where they posted pet pictures. So I didn't mind the colourized names, made it easier to get my morning laugh.

Spam can be fun. Until it's made with markov-chains.

too bad you did not chose pink :(
this forum really lacks pink (and unicorns, but spammers would not deserve to have unicorns next to their usernames)

You anyway delete their accounts so the color doesn't matter after all. I don't like spammers either but I can get used to them :lol:
