The state of my LJ flist

[pez]

I never really complain about how people post on their journals. It's their journal, their choice on how to post, how often to post and what to post. Big fonts? Multiple colours? Sure. Memes... those with pictures I prefer to see a cut, but still, doesn't bother me much. Large pics and photos I trust my friends to put behind cut anyway.

But when it comes to communities... what the fuck is it with people posting in different font sizes and colours??? More and more people are doing it. Am I alone in feeling annoyed by this? Am I stupid and shouldn't feel bothered?

I enjoy reading community posts, and don't want to put them on a separate filter because some dudes feel like, er, expressing themselves/standing out from the crowd by bolding or enlarging their texts. But I don't think I should have to put up with this stupidity either.

Don't feel alone. I find it annoying, too, because it is a community and it isn't just one person they might be annoying. I'm not easily irritated by things, it takes alot for me to get irritated, so it's surprising that this does bother me. It would have helped if the information the person provided was something I was interested in, suffice it to say that it wasn't. Thing is, I've only seen one person do it :/ My reaction is to automatically ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist on my flist. IMO, if they want attention, they should try and get it using a different tactic.

That's one of the reasons why I usually avoid communities. >.>

I know a lyric community that posts songs I like, but around half the people in it seem to feel that they need to make random words in the song bright pink and in the largest font, while others seem to feel they should make the whole song around three sizes too big, with random words red, underlined, and bolded. I don't exactly get it, but...

I agree with Ebbeh. It's annoying, but short of getting out sporks, it's pretty much the only thing that can be done. <3 ;;

>< i'm planning on talking to her the next time she does it. from the looks of it she's doing it to "be helpful" but doesn't realize fonts look bigger and colours blend on different layouts.

Thanks... I just hope I haven't been overreacting
