Red Text is reserved for Staff on Era because it allows Mod Edits and Mod Posts to be able to stand out against both the LightEra and DarkEra background that way if someone is quickly scrolling down the page they can see any pertinent information or warnings that the staff has given. Red Text = important information. Its just easier that way and makes the Mods jobs easier. That way they can get the important information out there and get it easily noticed by the participators in the thread. That way its not lost in the noise.
Its not some form of nefarious left wing tyranny and you know that.
That being said, like a lot of things ERA, the staff is
inconsistent with this practice. Stuff that is subject to red text regularly isn't put in that colour.
But that kind of criticism shouldn't be exclusive to the usage of red text or not: It should be directed towards the policy in general.
Or you could upgrade to software that didn't come from 1991.
The obvious flaw is that anyone could impersonate a mod using this archaic method.
Out of all things you can complain/criticize on ERA, you took
red text being exclusively used for staff as your card of surprise?
Next thing we are noting how their buttons look
off.
I don't know why but I find it entertaining when a page starts with Nobody_important, Yoshi and JordaN.
Marcy was only really ever funny in Married With Children. As 3 seperate forum users, they are exactly 1/3 of her character each. So combined they form one Marcy. That isn't funny.
It's not nefarious. It is however hilarious that nobody is allowed to use red text because that's reserved for important people.
The sad part is that at least one of them feels like they are genuinely trying to have a conversation.
I have to applaud Nobody here (Yes, really) for even
attempting a geniune answer. That kind of complaining is really just low key imo.
