If you want to guarantee an answer from a mod I'd make a thread in the Website feedback section. Some Mods check here so this might work, but they would prefer that.

Is it written anywhere as a basic rule? I can understand that you would want red colour to be reserved for mods only, but it came as a suprise to me that it is something that is enforced. But I suppose it has to be.

Tbh I don't think any mod (except for BigFan) gives warnings for red text. Everyone else only gives warnings for imitating mod text and so on, so the vast vast majority of user wouldn't know the rule about not using red text.

Ah, sorry, did forget or miss the rule. Thanks for the answer!
Edit> To be fair, some of my posts very IMO over the line so the warn is probably earner even without red color. Sometimes my anger flows through me and I swim with the current

We've always warned for impersonating moderation text. It's really not a big deal. We don't hold it against anyone in their mod notes or anything like that.
Yes, I'm sure there are instances where we overlooked it or didn't see it, but in general red text is reserved for mod actions and we had confusion about this in the past. No big deal

Sometimes my anger flows through me and I swim with the current I didn't see anything that was over the line from you in that MacSed thread. That thread is an emotional thread after all since it's a heavy topic. Of course, containing your emotions and aiming to post rationally is always a good thing. IMO, if a subject is getting really emotional, taking a step back is a good idea.
As for the red text, much like KBB mentioned, it's not a major thing. I guess it's like an unwritten rule which is why yourself and other posters were unaware of it. No need to apologize either since this isn't really a major infraction, thus it was a simple warning.

Red text is allowed. Mimicking mod statements is not allowed. I hope that clears up any confusion.

Green Text is reserved for me, though.

There definitely needs to be support for invisitext though. That's the most important staple of coloured text.

You'll have to rely on subtext instead, I'm afraid.
