New Administrator / Moderator Notices + Rules Update

RE: New Administrator / Moderator Notices + Rules Update
Maybe you should make it so that those whom it might concern also receive an Alert Notice redirecting them to the Mod/Admin one in the thread. Then, you would be sure those that really need to see it do.

I like it.
Maybe the pink wizard could have a similar pink warning box when he replies to theists:

Warning: I WAS a theist!     Don't bullshit a bullshitter! Shy
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I'm not sure the software can do it, but at the very least, the moderator making such a post should take the time to PM the offender and link him to the post via PM, in the absence of a better alternative.

The principle is certainly sound.

We can certainly do that. However, in most cases, when we make an in-thread notification, it's aimed at the participants in the thread, not any one person in particular. Just something to keep in mind.

It's hard to imagine a scenario in which every single participant in the thread might require such a notice.

Perhaps you might reread what I wrote, imagine the context, and stop being so fucking obtuse.

I approve of the colors, it will help me ID the posts of the Sacred Magisterium from the ordinary and universal magisterium posts.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I imagined the context as such: a few people might have a brawl, and they might require a Staff member's notice in order to not further engage with each other in the same manner so as not to upset the overall atmosphere of the thread. It might be, however, that not everyone partook in this fracas. Maybe only those that did squarrel over something in an unappropriate way should be thusly approached(by name). Moreover, I think, if it's possible, this notice should also be specifically sent to those implicated in the heated debate so as to make it even more plausible that those to whom it might be addressed would be made aware of said notice. That way, you post the notice within the thread, so that everyone might see it, and at the same time call attention to those directly concerned with the staff's notification. This increases the chances of their taking note of it and subsequently taking it into account before posting their next reply.
