Name colours...

Well what is forum rank or specificity of those who have the shiny green colour in their name? Not supermods' one, the one who hurts eyes who people like Psi Kiya Trist have.

I would like to take the opportunity to respond to this comment, but my response is purely based upon my personal opinion, and in no way do i represent the views of either the other members nor the leaders of the respect group.

There is a very specific purpose for this usergroup. This usergroup was created because of the ever-increasing hositilty/flaming which seems to be invading this forum. Members of this group have pledged not to do this in their posts. By keeping this forum a friendly place, and keeping personal comments to a minimum, we are ensuring that the people who play this game have a pleasant environment to communicate with their fellow gamers.

The colour simply shows those of us who have taken the pledge to maintaining this pleasant environment. On a side note, it also allows the group leaders to easily identify anyone who breaks their pledge, and us remove them from the usergroup.

Remember, we all dedicate our own free time to play the game, and hopefully enjoy it. A little bit of respect goes a long way to ensuring that we continue to enjoy, and play, the game.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Re: Name colours...

Well only thing I dislike is THIS colour particularly but why not a special colour afterall it's usergroup of people who are in repect group...I am unable to go there because: now colour would get me away of forum if my account had it; I sometimes use big words and even if I agree with respect usergroup goals, I couldnt be one because of those two things :(

This is all very well and good, but this still doesn't negate the fact that a group, or even a group colour is justified; no decision making process happens within the group, nor is there any administrative power - so why the colour?

If this is the case, I would like to further propose a usergroup for those of us who play different games, or servers so we're able to identify each other. I know it wont happen though, because it just isn't essential.

Don't get me wrong, the idea of the group is admirable, but awarding a usergroup and colour is just going too far; especially when just reading the forum, you realise that the same people in the group make the phrase "leading by example" just a little reundant. I mean, just look around the forum - you know I'm not troublemaking, because it's true.

Do people who wish to let themselves be known as gay, bisexual or lesbian get a rainbow usergroup?

Re: Name colours...

I have to agree with you Ikon. i dont mind the colors, but I think singling out certin people for the group, leaves those behind who wish not to be glorified. My second missunderstanding with this, is some of the select have been direspectful and some of the biggest flamers on forum. It has a feel more of a popularity contest where not all players had an opurtunity to have imput. Who is deserving is the soul perspective of a smaller group. No worry, not a big deal to me, but see where its not all good.

Re: Name colours...

Uhm yeah, this is stupid.

I'm all in favour of having special colors for moderators and administrators, but the day we start giving every usergroup their own color is the day the userlist starts to look less like a userlist and more like an explosion in a paint factory.
