♫ Am I only dreaming, is this burning.. the eternal thread ♫

No argument here, that's how society is in general. And pffft, the mods just want in on the super sexy action! Also, I'm pretty sure the administration has never actually come out and said the sexting between consensual people isn't illegal. I remember them strongly discouraging it and suggesting people take it offsite, but never an actual ban. I think they recognize that people are going to use their system to sext regardless and to go full morality police on these people is not only something they object to, but even if they did, the amount of effort needed to stamp it out would be tremendous.

To any third-party readers: Keep in mind that I am NOT A NATIONSTATES MODERATOR and my word should not be regarded as fact to justify anything you may or may not do. These are impressions I've picked up from lurking Moderation. If you have questions about such policy, please ask them directly.

I can imagine their blunders often would stop half finished as they attended to growing needs.

Growing...?

That color isn't moderator-exclusive. Besides, my intent as not being a moderator should be patently obvious to people who actually read the text instead of just looking at the color.

Hey, you may be right. Myself, I stay away from making my posts red. Maybe you're right and it's cool. I won't be the one to find out.

It's more of a problem with Garishing most of the time

It isn't warn text so the mods won't complain. You could go and use the background tags and make them red and the mods wouldn't give you a hard time for it.

Oh don't worry, they would.

I doubt it.
You wouldn't get in trouble for it. I've seen the mods do it before.

You're supposed to make the text itself white.
You are walking in dangerous territory, my friend.

Margno made fake bans like that.
They died.

I just asked if this was unacceptable in moderation. They said no.

depends on the context, like Margno's

Yep...it depends on the context.

Fun fact, you can use any text color/highlight you want, including bold, white text on a red background without getting in trouble with the mods. It's when you couple it with mod-impersonating text that you're gonna be swatted, regardless of the color. Margno was impersonating a mod by claiming to warn and ban people. That he was doing it with white text on a red background is pretty much irrelevant next to that.

The actual *** warn text *** tag is specifically set up so that it cannot be fully recreated with other BBCodes. The only way to get the font-changed, bold white on red with black outline box is with the actual warn BBCode, which is why we swat people for using that.

You have no idea how happy I am you didn't ban him.

This just a hypothetical, but if you did a green background and did fake mod text you would get hammered?
Wait, I just re read your post. Ignore this post.

Most likely- the color is just a way of making it loud and clear when official stuff is going down. Mod-impersonating text is still mod impersonation outside of a veeeeery narrow set of situations. (For instance, I've seen white text on blue, complete with the ***s used in the "Ban the nation above" F7 game. But then the contents of the text is already pretty patently absurd per the nature of the forum game, so it's pretty clear that the participants are not actually impersonating mods.)

I see. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Ah. So, why red?

Eh, mainly because red typically has a psychological association with danger/alarm/stop signs and so on. It sticks out against the forum color scheme. I mean, when you're scrolling through a thread and glance across the white-on-red-with-black-box, you probably stop and look to see what it is, right?

Also, it's symbolic. Red text=red blood, like that of the offender.

No.
