Benny, I think I have a workaround just for you.
Well, it's just a suggestion, given how you say you could do the code for it.
Install the grease monkey plug-in (it exists for Firefox and maybe for chrome). Create a script that searches for the font/color tag and check if it's red or green. If not, then replace the color with black.

I think that's a really great option. My alternative was going to be to make a Windows Form Webview, but this plugin sounds better. Unless, of course, someone is going to let me write a font-toggle script for THIS site.

Concerning gifs, I don't think there's a way to check for epilepsy inducing animations, given that the forum software probably handles all images the same. I believe the UCP lets you disable all images...

I'm not epileptic anymore as far as I know, though I'm suspicious sometimes that certain things are borderline events. I don't know if everyone occasionally starts strobing under random conditions or if it's just me. But what I was recommending is not that the page should filter super-flashy gifs, but that users should include hiding them in tags part of user eqituette.

Part of my bother with all this is that I think it's generally just rude to dump a super-flashing gif into most threads, or to write a full page of pink-on-white font. It's so freaking unnecessary, and there are so few contexts in which that would actually add anything other than annoyance; for sure, I don't think anyone on this thread was thinking, "Yah! Finally someone took the initiative, and is expressing all his ideas in wall after wall of this lovely pink font!" It's like, it's probably not illegal to wear dogshit-smelling cologne-- but wouldn't you be double-pissed if you ever ended up in a situation where you actually got the chance to find out that you were allergic to it? Would "It's never been a problem before" be a good reason not to instantly make a rule against the wearing of dogshit-smelling cologne as soon as it came up once?

I'd say there are more people out there who are color blind, than epileptic... And yet...admins use red, mods use green.
Maybe we should consider a change in those colors.

I think color blind people can see the text, but just can't differentiate what color it is, right? So a solution for that might be to have a standard "Message from Admin" or "Message from Mod" at the start of a message. . . I know most mods use "modhat," "/modhat." It seems to me a bold-faced navy blue or something would pop even more, but I already know I'm not speaking for the masses so hmmmmm.
