Any way to stop custom color names

[legacy-CatPhoenix]

Come on, you know someone was going to make an anti post about it sometime. X-)

And now......
Reasons for not having custom color text:

1) It messed up what the screen name looks like on the scoreboard (at least it did for me a few times)
2) Some one could have an all black color name, making it impossible to see when they type something
3) It looks really annoying (yes, I know that's opinion and not fact, but when was the last time you didn't see opinion in the news X-)
and probably the most important reason
4) So people don't take up in the public chat channel the whole time, telling you how to add color to your name when you're trying to blow someone's head off :haha: </humor> (Though, this did happen on Cain's last night and I thought it was a little annoying; though, better then having to hear about a 16 year old's love life or someone who only public chats to belch of the mic)

It seems I've gone off topic now X-) let me just add a few more reason then :

5) Trying to add that person to a buddy list would probably be sigificantly harder
6) If someone finds a way to add this to their regular text as well, it would probably be extremely annoying spam and impossible to read at times

Doh, ran out of reasons X_X
Have a smurfy day X-)

Today I went on to an onslaught server and saw someone with an animated nick.

2) who cares, if they have an all black name, are they worth listening too?

3) I don't mind coloured names personally, I liked em in CoD

4) heh

5) If it was implemented better then the colour tags wouldn't count towards buddies

6) They already have AFAIK

If coloured text was going to stay (contrary to DrSin's previous remarks), then there needs to be a way to disable viewing it, and it needs to be improved.. however, DrSin already said it won't be, so don't worry

Thank goodness they are going to stop this... I've already seen some servers with colored names.

As I said on the other topic, I think it's unuseful having coloured nicks, but it's useful having coloured SAY and TEAMSAY.

But not as "the colour of the nick goes on" instead "the said text can be coloured".

Like:

NumPad8=teamsay ~~~~~~Foll~~~~~~ íaíAMPLY FREE!

That I think it's REALLY useful, when you can't user TeamSpeak or any VoiceChat...

Yeah, I figured that out too. Coloured chatmessages are cool.
Coloured nicknames are not. (right now anyway since they screw with the non-coloured text behind it)
