Any reason why is the forum red trust color was changed to orange?
The change IIRC, was made during the introduction of the trust flags, then trust feedback display was changed to orange rather than red.
Also, there are three types of trust flags depending on the violation, there are some which displays a red warning banner with enough support (I can be corrected on this) and another which shows as a yellow warning banner.
However, the change in the red trust color is causing some misconceptions among some newbies. An example is this
user.
Does the colour of the warning change how people view it? I'll be equally suspicious of another sign that alleges a user is a scammer regardless of the colour.
The linked user probably has a newbie warning flag visible to guests and new members, as I cannot see it when I check their topics. Could be the reason for the color it's displayed in.
