Posting Styles

Hello Neoseeker. I'll get to the point. Do you know what really grinds my gears? Illegible posting styles. I can't stand it when members come busting into a thread with their size one subcripted superscripted, aligned right bright yellow font. It's like they don't want anybody to read their posts!

And do you really, really wanna know what grinds my gears? Signoffs! There is absolutely no reason, no reason to copy and paste a tiny 15x15 picture into every post you make instead of just putting the image into your signature.

And oh god, do you really, really, REALLY wanna know what grinds my gears Neoseeker? Do you? Posts aligned to the right. I honestly don't even bother to read these, if I don't see a post on the right or middle, I just skip it without a second thought.

I admit I used to post in a size one font with a color, but I also will say that I tried my hardest to make it pleasing to the eye when I used it, until I realized it was pointless to make my post flashy. I have nothing against you guys who use markup in moderation, but to those guys who abuse NAMFox, please let up a little. Thank you for your time.

    Namfox also comes to the rescue by stripping colour from text in posts above a set brightness.

    I tried the whole 15x15 image signoff for a time, but I soon realized it looked totally dumb and pointless. I don't think I've even got the images I used hosted still so those posts have probably got huge 'image not found' placeholders sitting there instead by now.
