What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
When someone is amnesticated, all the messages posted in character chats (comms, yelling etc) should be marked in a different colour going back to when that specific amnestic would take effect, such as having them all show up greyed out from their pespective, or in a different text colour (red for instance)
This would allow the newer amnsetic times to be better tracked, and allow players to take advantage of possible sloppy use of shorter-length amnsetication by being able to see the exact moment they cannot remember up to. This would need to have options to change the colour in case of visual imparement
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I think if done tastefully and not in a hideous looking manner, this would really help players to RP around amnestics as opposed to having them act as a hard road block that they currently do, even for players who are keeping track of what is going on around them IC

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Better tracking of IC memory loss
- Encourages proper timing of amnestics
- Allows for more seamless continuation of RP as people know where they left off
- May make it harder for people to report OOC issues raised in IC chats (someone being inappropriate in comms for instance)
- May cause issues with existing graphics settings
- May be hideously ugly and annoying for players
