Forum:CT Archive/Italics or bold for emphasis?

I have seen several times that italics and bold were used for emphasis. I wonder if it is necessary. Emphasis can be made clear simply by using the right word or phrasing. I remember removing some italicizations because of this, and I am almost 100% sure that there is no official consensus on this question. Here is an initiative.

Do not use italics or bold for emphasis
