The reason why we have no color tags to customize text on the main forums today is because people years ago decided to abuse that power. People are very predictable, give them an inch and they'll take a parsec. Now if people learned how to be mature, responsible, and nice we just might have colors here. However I believe if that even happend that they shouldn't be allowed on the main forums. The main forums make a statement about the type of website Bungie.net is. If a random user strolls in and sees a presentable, fashionable website then they might stay and create an account to join in on the discussion. However say someone comes into the forums seeing every other letter in a paragraph a different color, they might back away because it is tacky and hard to read. As with someone seeking to get a high paying job, presentation and appearance is key. Bungie.net is a website that needs to keep a literal presentation with a clean, professional appearance. Allowing users, at their own will, to color pieces of text randomly on the main forums would break that presentation and appearance in my opinion. That is why I believe users shouldn't have the ability to use colors at their own will.
