The color ban sparked backlash from large portions of the userbase, though a few users found the monochrome canvas to be more aesthetically pleasing. A variety of methods were used to work around a lack of text colors, such as using emojis and [[Links|URL/coordinate links]] to render colored images. On the other hand, several scripters simply opted for black and white image pasters. | The color ban sparked backlash from large portions of the userbase, though a few users found the monochrome canvas to be more aesthetically pleasing.
