I keep seeing people post pictures of scammers typing into a chatroom to make it seem like a GM is in the chatroom.

Example.

Scammer: Hello
GM Oda: Hello, want to become a GM?
Innocent Player: ZOMG!!!! YESS!!!


A simple solution to fix this is to color code, underline, Bold, and/or Italicize the player names; something besides color for color-blind players.

Example

Scammer: Hello
GM Oda: Hello, want to become a GM?
Innocent Player:  I see what you did there. *Block's Scammer*

I can't believe people still fall for this stuff honestly, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have this implemented.

The fact that people actually fall for this amazes me.  Why don't they just do more to let people know that GMS ALWAYS SPEAK IN YELLOW TEXT!
