Same exact thing could be said about orbs too


The vote wasn't on orbs, it was on fonts. I would have voted no the orbs too as they don't meet modern accessibility standards of 3.5:1 color contrast, and honestly the same colorized structure could be applied to something that isn't key metadata like usernames.

Maybe I'm just an old fuddy-duddy... :) this is what a community is all about.

Your premise is the same, and orbs are a feature, but your post is insinuating you're against this suggestion

I don't think I can be more clear that I'm a strong advocate for accessibility standards for digital experiences.

Me too, just pointing out Orbs are basically the same in terms of readability. But they are a feature

I nulled.
It's only the beginning of the poll.
I'd love to be able to customize my name more and feel like I have something else to work towards.

Would greatly appreciate some criticism for the no votes.


It's tacky as hell. The site would look a mess if all users could use any font.

PS the guy you are arguing with, has already said he does not support orbs either. The thread is not about Orbs. It's about fonts.

The reason I mentioned orbs was because fonts could work the same way and people who want them can have them, people who don't can turn it off.
And it's not any font, its the fonts already in the list of fonts you can use in your post. I probably should have said that.
I mean there's not many of them and the only one that isn't truly legible is cursive lol

My point is, orbs degrade the readability just as much as custom fonts. He's saying his argument is because of readability, yet jsp has orbs :wallbash:

Voted no unfortunately :(

It’s a really cool idea but it’s just a case of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” for me.

It reminds me of the topics in the past relating to adding more colors for topic titles and I’m sure similar answers could apply here?*

I understand.
A vote is a vote and it's only a suggestion. I'm sure there are plenty of others well worth dev time over this.
I do agree with the legibility argument now that I've thought about it.
I'm sure I'll come up with more eventually.
Thank you everyone for voting and the reasoning behind it.

Some fonts have extremely low legibility. A lot of this site seems to be based on the persona/reputation of the traders/posters and I'd be concerned it would be easy to spoof other people if you can distort your name with fonts. Personally I'd prefer to force all fonts on all websites to be segoe UI :)



Yeah, because it’s super difficult to exclude fonts from a list :bonk:

Voted yes
