Firs of all, let me say that you shouldn't take this as criticism-- I think this is a great-looking site, and it runs very well. But you can always tweak features to make it run even better for even more people, right? Smile

Are you actually asking me if I'd do these things, or just trying to show that I'm being a prick to suggest that they could be done?  Because I'd actually be willing to help with site features if anyone asked.  Since I can already see that this site runs javascript, then adding a clientside button script to strip user-defined colors would be trivial: just a string search/replace, probably just a couple lines of code.  Making it toggle-able would be slightly more difficult (you'd have to preserve the original strings), as would making it toggle-able on a per-post basis, but would still be pretty simple. And since this site is nicely organized with clear class names, finding the right parts to strip/change should be very easy, especially if you are permitted to use jquery.

I agree with you that this has very rarely been a problem.  And that, to be honest, is why I actually assumed there was ALREADY the no-goofy-fonts rule that I am now asking to be considered. I've now put the person in question on Ignore, and I'm still enjoying using the website. But I still thought it was worth making a thread about, and here we are.
