SUPPORT
Very much emphasized.

Seems like a good idea, especially for emphasizing subcategories within project instructions. Support.

But I do think it would be cool if people could at least change font color and font size, maybe with some formatting tools instead of BB code. I think it would be very helpful for role-playing as you could use colors and fonts to differentiate between character dialog and “asides”, etc.

Agreed with this.

Scratchers can use the

[color=white]The color tag[/color]

to hide inappropriate posts
Semi-support per the reasons above.

that's a simple fix… just allow black + ROY G BIV colors.

So like colors with a brightness value less than 180?

I support but it would also mean expanding the comment character limit as BBcode can take up a lot of space, but basic things like links, b, i, u, s would be helpful!

I agree with this.

Yes, that is italics, if that was a question.

Bold
Italics
Underlined
Strikethrough

And please use markdown for it. BBCode isn't very fun.

TheHockeyist

Wow, a nearly 3-year bump?

Maybe this will get more attention?

Support! But block it for New Scratchers so they can't spam.

I think it would be a useful feature for the comments and add a little more pep to your post

You need to specify why you support, or at least provide some further contribution to the conversation.
