(See the best response by Pirion.)
Code:
mob
    var
        gotmuted=0
        muteid=0
        oldmuteid=0
        deadmute = 0
        deadmuted = 0
        swear = 1
        textcolor = "#ffffff"
        jailed = 0
        world_muted = 0
    verb
        OOC(var/T as text)  
            world<<"<small><font color=[src.textcolor]>(~<font color=[src.textcolor]>[src.rank]</font>~) <font color=[src.textcolor]>[src.name]</font> OOC: <font color=[src.textcolor]>[html_encode(T)]"   
            if(findtext(T,"Fuck")||findtext(T,"FUCK"))
                swear = 1
                world << "System OOC: You're being muted for 30 seconds, best not let me catch you swearing again."
                usr.deadmuted = 1
                alert("The system has muted you!")
                sleep(300)
                usr.deadmuted = 0
                alert("The system has unmuted you!")
                usr.deadmute+=1
                src.dead()
                if(usr.deadmuted == 1)
                    alert("You have been deadmuted by the system, admin cant unmute you wait till your times up!")
                if(usr.gotmuted == 1)    
                    alert("You have been muted!")
                if(world_muted == 1)
                    alert("world has been muted")
                if(usr.jailed == 1)
                    alert("You are jailed, cant talk!")


mob
    proc
        systemcontrol()
            if(usr.deadmute == 3)
                world << "System OOC: You were warned not to swear, I've given you 3 chances.)"
                del(usr)
            if(usr.deadmute == 6)
                world << "System OOC: You were warned not to swear, I've given you 6 chances.)"
                del(usr)
            if(usr.deadmute == 9)
                world << "System OOC: You were warned not to swear, I've given you 9 chances.)"
                del(usr)

I am guessing the output is white, and that you don't realize that #ffffff is hex code white.

Side note, findtext is not case sensitive, therefore your || clause is a redundancy of the first one.

No, the output is black with my full colour scheme

well, there isn't a problem within the code provided that would make it invisible, except for the font color.

I just realized it was inside a proc xD

By the way, since you are using findtext(), you don't need to provide two examples of the same word. findtext() is not case-sensitive. However, findtextEx() is case-sensitive. I know this has nothing to do with your original problem (which appears to have been resolved), I just thought you'd like to know :p.
