What do the codes mean?

Post by Polyphase Avatron » Sun Nov 10, 2013 10:40 pm

I often see people posting something like "code (some color)" in colored text, what do they mean?

It means those people have developed some sort of inane in-joke. It's not any sort of official forum thing.

I think they are referring to dangerous debate topics, used as some kind of warning against starting one of those. Code orange would be Goku's SSJ3 vs. anything, Code pink Kid Buu vs. Super buu ect. I guess code blue would be whether Vegeta was the strongest fighter due to his outburst against Bils?
I haven't really got it either, but I would suggest looking at user-specific posts from those who use it to get some more information.

I've only seen it once, have absolutely no idea what it means, and very specifically after that warned people to start talking properly in their posts.

I wouldn't expect to see it again, and if you do, please report it so we can steer conversations back toward normalcy.

That being said, if you see bold red text in the middle of someone's post, it's because their post was near-incomprehensible to the point that a moderator had to grammatically correct it. This is something every member agrees to prior to registration (that they will write properly in all of their posts, and they agree to have it not-so-subtlely edited if they do not).

I've seen someone mention a "Code BLUE" when someone brought up a certain mild-mannered reporter from another planet (as in: "please don't start another 'Goku vs. Superman' argument"), and it was funny that one time. I'm not sure I'd enjoy seeing it made into a running gag, though.

Wasn't meant to be a big thing. Just a little mini joke that wasn't used much and only 4 people knew about. Then others was told about the joke and it became to wild and used in wrong ways. Also Mike I didn't get a warning.
