Style Sheet Bombing
#1
As much as I am for customization, there's a problem with CSS sheets. Text outlines can be used to bomb other players at little risk to the bomber.

Having a text outline of...
-dm-text-outline:90001px blue;
...froze my computer for ten seconds.

Having a text outline with one more zero...
-dm-text-outline:900001px blue;
...froze my computer for four minutes, and a friend for one minute.

Basically, if you have a good enough PC you can ride out the initial freezing time, save your profile, and then windows will- as long as you stay logged in- will not lag you again, even if you exit your profile and go back in. So you could walk into somewhere public with a really rad character sprite and clear out the area as everyone either reboots their PC or waits out minute-long lag.

This has actually been reported to Dev before this update, but the response given was along the lines of.

'It's fine to use -dm-text-outline as long as no one abuses it."

So yeah, if someone does this, it'd likely be met with punishment if reported or worse, -dm-text-outline gets removed entirely or restricted.

I'd rather the latter. You can't even verify if someone's profile is fucked up unless you crash yourself. A GM would either have to go off of hearsay or risk having their computer locked up for 5+ minutes while some jackass decides to do something mean now that he's wiped out the GM.

I mean, we got 4 more GMs and pretty much the entirety of the player base who will be EXTREMELY upset at mister fuckface who thought it'd be a funny idea to do that fo-da-lulz.

Since by doing it, we're -all- at the risk of losing access to such a cool feature.

Ideally if it's even possible to restrict rather than outright disable, I'd just wanna see a limit on how big the number will go. Though no idea if that's even simple.
