First off, this is not a rule; just a suggestion.
It's starting to become somewhat of a trend, so I want to make it clear to everyone that you should not use colored font. That is, write in black.
There are a few reasons for this. One, writing in anything but black is guaranteed to annoy 90% of the members, and that's not a good thing for you. For another, people seem to choose font colors that are difficult (or just plain painful) to read. Lastly, it disrupts the site. When going through a thread, one's eyes are going to be automatically attracted to the post with color. That can be a good thing, but here at YWS, we aren't concerned with looks; we're concerned with your style of writing.
Thus, you should distinguish yourself through your writing rather than through contrived means such as font color. Right now, this isn't a big problem which is why there is no rule as of yet. However, if this becomes a trend and a large number of people start using all sorts of contrived means to distinguish their posts, a rule will be made.
However, nothing in this post should be construed as extending to your signature as well. You could use a billion colors in your signature if you wanted to.
Update: As niteowl noted, if you change the color of your font, it may not be visible on the Chimped Out template.
