I'm right here, why are you yelling!? :) (1 Viewer)

This is just something i'm curious about, why do some administrators always post in bold lettering? I can understand if a thread is getting out of hand, or if your warning someone to cool it, but I sometimes see it during normal discussions. Why is that?

I just thought it was to either emphasise a point or so it gets noticed by readers. (?)

I don't know which posts specifically you mean, if the are "moderation" related posts, or just general posts...

I personally use bold, italics and underline often when explaining. I usually try to use as many examples as possible when trying to explain things-- but know many people skim--- so i put the summary points in bold at the end of each section- for clarity.

I only use all-bold if, as an administrator, I'm interrupting the flow of communication in the thread. Or if I want to emphasize that I think the current flow should be disrupted.

I use it as "The Voice of Mod", like Crawdaddy does, so people reading it know that I'm posting as a moderator, not as a member of the HTF.
