So, what's the deal with people posting part of their response in tiny, tiny font? I understand it's a bit of a gag, but basically it boils down to wanting to say something, but not wanting anyone to see it. So, what's the point? You still said it. Everyone can see it. It's a bit more of a hassle to, but it's there. I'm mostly pissed at the idea because, as a moderator, I have to check them all to make sure no one's trying to sneak racial slurs or personal attacks into their posts.

Tiny Font
I've done it one or two times before….
mainly it's one way for me to write out a long rant that others may find objectable (not nessicarly slurs or racial…just things people may not argee with)…
but not like stretch the page downwards where the person has to scroll and scroll just to get to the bottom of my post. =P
so mainly I just make all the "unimportant" bits tiny while I keep the main points normal size.
My good man, simply the fact that it is available to do is a major factor. It's sort of like a whisper, not really hiding things. This isn't hidden. Anyone can see it simply by highlighting and clicking "View Selection Source." And honestly, if someone was trying to sneak in a slur or something, would it be any harder to see then to see in a normal font? If you don't want to read it, don't. I for one will be the first to tell a moderator considering I always look at tiny font.

WOULD YOU PREFER I DID THIS INSTEAD OF THIS? Also what kind of racial slurs are going on in the VIDEO GAME sub forum? Someone making fun of Marios italian heritdge? Did someone call Sonic "spikey" just becuase he was a hedgehog? Is someone making fun of Master Chief using the phrase "terran" instead of the PC term "earthling?"
or is that all bullshit either way Ink?
Actually, I don't really know what the fuss is about. This latest version of my lovely Seamonkey browser doesn't render that forum text any smaller than about size 3, so it's never too small to read, I don't even squint.
Big text however gives me the sh*ts. I tend to edit posts with massive text to bring it down to something that doesn't stretch the formatting of the HTML table rendering in the thread. That is one disadvantage of Seamonkey: in the forums you can stretch the tables out of shape with long text strings and massive text.
Not pics though :)
-Only trolls and dopey Top Drawer noobs do that anyway..
