It was meant to be a cure for many things, including, <edit> what I thought was </edit> the OPers color blindess issue, although the arrows are up and down, but even without being color-blind, I had to wait for the mouse over text to be sure, before I used custom colors here. A confirmation box takes much less time to click than having to wait for mouse-over text to appear, in general. My inconvenience versus yours.
Sorry a suggestion, is so annoying you have to rate me down, when it seems perfectly acceptable suggestion. Just one you apparently, vehemently disagree with. And, this thread is not even being looked at by most people, since it has been sub-default since about 10mins after I posted the suggestion.
And yes, making services more accessible to all, will lead to inconveniences for some. So you can continue on your hate fest, instead of just stating why you wouldn't like it, or offering up a reasonable alternative to solve the issue.
And yes, the OPers solution was horrible, but even then I didn't rate him down, <edit> as I thoguht it was about something else, </edit> it was the issue that was more important. Bad ideas coem from everywhere, but that doesn't lower the importance of the issue. Also, there is more than jsut red-green colorblindess, if someone of impportantance is actually reading this, and planning on changing the colors of the icons.
**** EDIT ****
And see there's my visual problem kicking in again, as I swore this thread used to say Accessibility - Red and Green Arrows, not Accountability. And now I see why you would of thought it, so horrid, thinking I aggreed with the OPer, but no, I thought the main reason was accessibility and not feedback. Although feeback is nice, when it's constructive, the general feedback you get here is very much not, whenever you even get any.
Again, my post was about Accessibility, as I have little concern most of the time, for why I get rated up or down, except on the rare occasiion, that's it not obvious to me ... this thread is an example of that, but I've cleared it up myself and now see why you thought I needed rated down, as the original topic, wasn't what I thought it was, and I didn't refer to what I was thinking, eventhough, I kept thinking to myself, I should have, even before I realized the OPers topic wasn't what I thought it was. My thinking, was they wanted to do something about Accessibility, and just used the problem, as way to promote another agenda with a relatable solution.
