All you have to do to get it switched to something else is... get consensus
Really? With a quick search I find 13 posts referencing "Thread Starter" in the other main thread.
A few of those were after the yellow change. Of the pre-yellow-change posts, precisely
one post seems to dislike the white-text-on black color scheme specifically. One other post noted that it used to be white-text-on-blue without stating any particular opinion on the new black scheme. The remainder of posts focus on disliking the change from the common term "Original Poster" to "Thread Starter" without mentioning the black color scheme in particular.
The posts in
this thread referencing the Thread Starter feature all seem to be after the yellow change.
So if anything, it is the change in terminology that folks dislike in particular. I'd venture to guess that no one would be opposed to returning the color scheme to the old blue one - along with returning to OP, but just my two cents.
But there is one feature that seems to have a lot of negative feedback, that being infinite scroll set as a default.
