I thought it was an interesting way of doing the same persona switch that Ledgem wants to "gift" to the mods without the LAP-, ahem, men-in-black secrecy. Because it's so eye-catching when they do that, they can play around in the "common tongue" with less attention, then switch to Pay Attention mode when they need to.
Of course, the default color scheme of that forum is considerably darker and the palette of color choices in vB might not be nearly as acceptable in this place with its default bright theme. |
I've seen that as well on Paradox's Forums. Usually the colour they use is Red, and it pretty quickly gets people's attention. Might be a good innovation. For instance:
Referring to Manga developments in Anime threads is against Animesuki's spoiler policy, you have been warned.
Effective no?
Moderator: User has been infracted for using the color red.
Solace says "Hmmm."
