Why was Text Size disabled?

I couldn't find an appropriate page that explained this, but why was Text Size disabled? The only real explanation I could get was from page history when an anonymous poster removed it from the list of possibilities of the Text-Formatting Rules and said "Text resizing has been disabled". Has it really and if so why?

That was weeks (if not months) ago. I think the reasoning was that there's no real page that could use it in a way that couldn't be done with bolding and such.

There is some form of small text again though. Not sure what the mark-up is.

I thought it was because some of the tropers kept misusing it on the forums.

OK, thanks for clearing that up for me The Inferno.

Small text is still supported, much to the benefit of Recycled In Space.

Actually, it's still got the minus thingy working. [-Like this-]=>Like this. Large was disabled because people couldn't stop trolling with it.

The reason Fast Eddie gave was that it did not enhance the wiki. The reason small text was brought back was that people in the fora politely pointed out the uses it has in RP, and The Fast One occasionally throws us poor peons a bone.

Also because smalltext can't really be used for vandalism to the same extent largetext can.

And we can convey the same idea by making everything except what we want to put emphasis on in small text.

Or making some point about how "if you can read this, you don't need glasses."

^^Oh, hey, that hadn't even occurred to me.
