I've noticed that nobody types in bold all of the time, except the mods but I think they probably just have some kinda auto-super-bold. Is typing in all bold all the time legit? I read through the FAQ and didn't see anything but maybe its one of those unspoken rules.

If anyone knows, can they please enlighten me? :)

I'd say it would be at least frowned upon. And the admins' text is just more white than ours.

It's kind of akin to typing in caps, but as the all caps most certainly is forbidden, as it's regarded as shouting, this one would seem to be one putting emphasis on each word. Each to their own as to the interpretation, I guess.

Yeah, they like to stand out - like we wouldn't know who they were by the fact that they have faces, as opposed to weapons for their avatars :P Probably some throwback from pre-2007 BBS, when they only had weapons, the same as the rest of us.
