How about a font like this?
That was done with the (already existing) css class "normal-bold-blood".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It'll need a shortcut, which we can code to only work if it's an admin.
Is there any sort of format we can do that can't be entered normally?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, okay, if it has to be, it should be blood. I mean, for artistic integrity.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Actually, that's an excellent thought, ita. I was wondering about preventing spoofing, what with using standard uids and all, but was loath to bring it up.

Not that I can think of offhand. How about forbidding a particular phrase in non-admin posts, like "Official Stompy Foot Warning"? t /brainstorming

It'd have to be something else, because there are plenty reasons anyone might want to say "ita received an official stompy foot warning" or "I don't see why there's not an official stompy foot warning ita right now to step off".
t /having too much fun putting it into sentences
Hmm. We could strip attributes out of font tags in posts ...
Nah, I got nothing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd suggest just putting into site etiquette 'no impersonating stompy feet - we realise it's very tempting to want to be ita or Ple, but we don't want to dilute the genuine article' or something like that. If someone actually does fake a stompy-foot warning, I don't think it'd be too long before it gets called in-thread, and an actual stompy-foot would be able to edit out the formatting as soon as one's available.

Hrm. But right now, wouldn't it be editable-back in by the original poster? Our edit never expires, right?

We could delete the offending fake-stompy post.
