Should I Allow colors in OmnomIRC?

[Netham45]

Pretty simple poll, should I allow colors in OmnomIRC?

[Munchor]

I believe colours is cool

[Eeems]

I think there should be a post limit, or you should make it so we are able to disable it for certain users due to the fact that it could be abused.

[alberthrocks]

I'd say yes, although I would increase the post count just a little bit to prevent abusive users, since people who've just started using the chat might go wild...

EDIT: I'd also add the blacklist part too as Eeems pointed out above, in case someone tends to be a bit too color happy

I believe in exactly what Eeems said.

I voted no. Bots use colors and bold/underline tags to help their outputs be more easily read, as they often consist of multiple fields that could otherwise be hard to separate and decipher by readers. For a person who is just using IRC to chat, though, colors don't really serve a useful purpose. Colored text also helps distinguish people from bots by relying on bots talking in colored text and humans talking in plain text, a theme I have noticed in a number of IRC channels that I find very helpful. And just like you don't text or email people with lots of colors, you shouldn't IRC to them with lots of colors. If I did receive an email with lots of colored text, I would immediately think: spam. Which is also the only possible use for colors in OmnomIRC that I can think of.

[Netham45]

That's what I was thinking too, Runer. Little is added to communication through colors.

Bold and italic possibly, though Omnom doesn't support them at all currently.

I agree with you all.

I vote so using colors installs a virus on people computer that plays an endless recording of every internet meme songs at once forever.

Nah seriously I don't think they are necessary. I vote no, but if they get added anyway people still need to remember to not abuse them, because the bots already got colors differencing them from regular messages.

I think you could enable it for users above n posts. (replace n with 200, 500, etc).
This way only well established users (certainly not trolls) will be able to use it.

2 things.

1000 post limit or so for colors.
and
Give moderators a color banning ability.

Oh, and one more thing.  No Yellow or White!

[Darl181]

It's been said already, but with a post count limit of 200-500 or so, with mods having color limiting ability.
Also bold, italic and underline can be useful

[JonimusPrime]

No, colors in IRC are annoying enough as it is, don't kill the readability of the chat box by having it spammed with colors.

[TIfanx1999]

Voted no. We already have different colors to differentiate between bots and emotes. It isn't really necessary, and would hinder readability. Especially when the chat gets spammy.

*Edit* 1400th post!
