(Accessibility) Plain text toggle for posts + trade rules

[kurtisalamode]

Very agree; there should be a plaintext/alt text toggle for user-submitted fields (signatures, trade rules, forum posts...)! There's actually a few accessibility issues that could be fixed sitewide.

But MAN people love to make their rules as inaccessible as possible, I swear. Super frustrating.

huge mega support - I think this might already exist for forum posts but not for trade rules; I've seen some trade rules that were so unreadable I had to copy the text and paste it into a notepad on my computer in order to decipher them xD

that's high contrast mode, it's awesome!

i use it on and off (because i love the squiddy board style too...), but from talking to others about it i've found some players still opt not to use it, despite how it would otherwise help, because the extra large text feels patronising for those who were just looking for an option to remove text styling (eg someone who's colorblind)

i'm glad its there, but seeing it expanded upon would be really neat :O

i definitely understand the desire from people to REALLY personalise the little spaces they're given to do so onsite, but it's clear visually impaired (or otherwise disabled, or those who shrimply cant see the colors or sizes picked) are a very small percentage of players, and thus forgotten U_U

it makes me wonder how many players have tried to trade, or use the forums, but decided to leave or stop trading because there's only so many times you can run into the same inacessible blocks of writing before you give up :(

i don't think players at all need somewhere else to customise instead (emphasising this as i realise it could be read as such)... but a little more attention to keep us in mind wouldn't go amiss - a friendly "please keep trade rules easy to read!" somewhere visible would be an easy start i feel :o

Support, I straight up just won't trade with you if your rules are hard to read and this would save my life lol

support! :]

Support! I don't want to ruin someone's fun but at the same time if it's illegible for me. I won't read it ToT.
It might also help with some formatting issues between the mobile/desktop versions of the game!

this is absolutely needed. i think this site is sort of lacking in accessibility - and it's especially unfortunate because a large portion of the userbase are disabled. a lot of times i need to highlight the text and squint just to see what people are trying to say

YES WE NEED THIS
