No, because you clearly haven't seen the legitimate uses.

I can't really think of any examples that I've done (but I know I've used it once or twice in Diepod's thread), but it's basically points that I'd like to get across to some, but not like leave myself open because it's just a mere hopeful thought or an aside remark. Again, it doesn't have to be negative.

But why does it have to be transparent? There is literally no reason it needs to be transparent.

If you don't want people to see what you wrote DON'T WRITE IT

If you don't want people to see what you wrote DON'T WRITE IT

But no one is going to read it unless they highlight all your posts in search of hidden messages. Or quote them, but if you hide part of the message then people are less likely to care about them.

Sometimes it's a bit obvious it's there. Like, you'll see the little "box" a bit wider than what it ought to be... so there are clues. It's up to you (who care) to pursue them. If you don't care, fine, but just let us go about our business unless the hidden comment was just THAT offensive to you, but again, it's only to those who care.

"People who care" does not mean the same thing as "people who highlight every single post because there might be a hidden insult in it somewhere".

im sorry, but that doesnt really make much sense. You are writing it, either its to be seen or not. The only uses ive seen of stuff like that are the "FAGGOTS" and "NIGGERS" or the random " OH THIS IS SO GOOD [transparent text]unlike all of your STUFF!!!! [/transparent text] kind of stuff. I remember it got dealt away with on one of those occasions, although i wouldnt be able to point out where now.

You're again only focusing on the negatives. I said before, it doesn't have to be an insult.

At the very least, give an exception for the Entertainment and gaming sections so that we can hide spoilers within text ala TVTropes, because there ARE some times where you'd want to give SOME, but not ALL information, and spoiler tags alone just can't do that.

Exhibit A, which you ruined

Then call them out on it when they do it, what's the problem?

the useful uses (hardly useful) for transparent/white were far outweighed by people making dumb side comments. that "But when            realized what he did to                     he decided to go to                    and then kill himself" tvtropes shit is terrible to read. please use normal spoilers. thank you

also blue was not removed what the hell are you talking about

It's strange, it didn't work before, it was filtered. Did someone solved it?

Whiner.

EDIT: And before you call us out on it, it's considerably less than you whined to get it taken away.

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
are you fucking serious

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY was whining about your passive aggressive transparent text use. Meanwhile all you've done since it's gone is complain about how you've lost some vital tool that's absolutely necessary for you to continue posting.

Transparent text is great. God knows how many times people have missed messages I've had hidden.
