all posts prior to this have been evaluated, only 1 merit left.
indeed, the colors are disturbing to say the least,if i wasn't kind of "obligated" to read the post "which happens to be informative IMO" i would have simply ignored it. the colors, the symbols, the font size everything about it keeps you from reading it, it's probably why he got no merit for it.
everyday we learn something new, but are you sure there are any rules related to that matter? if there is i think they are unnecessary, if threads like this are going to bring more quality posts to the forum, what's wrong with that?
thanks for the input Bill

mikey, I believe that thread like this are disallowed if they are rewarding merit to posts that were created after this thread was created. This is so that there can be no misconception of incentivizing posting in any way. Consider implementing this into your rules
