Should “fake” graphics be allowed in personal signatures?
In light of our inability to include real graphic files in our personal signatures as well as the fact that some people ignore this and use text graphics instead, which waste just as much space and look even stupider, should these apparent acts of defiance be tolerated?
I for one believe that they should be restricted to moderator approval, which would allow only certain relevant images to be displayed as long as the space used was not overwhelming. For those that may want the option to include these if they wish please explain the good reasons behind your thoughts. Thanks. |

DOLA:
Sorry for the short subject. I tried to change it but couldn't since someone was so quick to post. LOL didn't expect a response in the first 8 seconds of the poll. Someone must be a bull rider. |

I think anyone using text "pictures" in signatures should be banned.

What if I write a long extremely detailed description of a picture and use it as a signature.

Sorry, Fritz, but this is an asinine poll.
My sig was like this way before this new board came along. Also, will someone tell me how my signature is any worse than a longer written out sig? When you are making marks like this /#@$^* it is no different that typing something. I think someone is just wanting to start some shit with the new and improved HornsManiac. Damn, it is my birthday too. Don't you have any couth? HornsManiac |

I think some legitimate points are raised. It certainly gets annoying scrolling through an additional bit of text because someone has a really long signature. There are also some signatures that some would deem offensive for language or content reasons and they would rather not look at them. That would be the role of the moderator, am I correct, to ensure that the content doesn't get out of hand?

The point for me is that none of us are allowed avatars in our members info section despite the fact that it is an individual option whether or not they are loaded and seen. However, we are forced to deal with the extra long signatures like HM's without the ability to turn them off if we so desire. There should be some type of limit to what is acceptable and what is not. It has already been decided that pictures in signatures can take longer to load, provide wasted space to scroll through and can look really dumb therefore they are not permitted. The issue basically relates text images to being no different.
BTW, nothing personal HM. I would find your signature to be a waste and uncalled for even if I didn't know you as I do. |

Actually, you can turn off view signatures. I just tried it, and it works.

I was responding to this. You do have the option, even if that option is more expansive than you would like. |

True. My point about turning the avatars off is that if we allowed to have them then there would be guidelines to follow so that others wouldn't be forced to make a decision to turn them off completely because one person didn't follow what was deemed acceptable. We have stated that images in signatures are not acceptable and I shouldn't have to turn all of the signatures on the board off just because HM thinks that he can get away with something. An option to turn off individual signatures without turning them all off or having to ignore a particular person would do but until them it seems to me that these type of signatures should be stopped. |

couriers, just use your ignore feature on HM, it will save you a lot of time.

I agree that signatures like Horns' are obnoxious, and that it would be nice to be able to turn them off on an individual level. Maybe the solution for now is to just use the Ignore function with Horns.

What's wrong with Horns sig? Did he change it or something, because all i see is:

I know that quote and respond seems to be the theme at the moment but I just couldn't help myself. Ignoring HM is an option but if I must tolerate him on the board then I should at least see what he is posting that way if I bother to jump in a debate focused around him I will have a good idea what is going on in the first place. Also, if your community had a noise curfew that your neighbors kept breaking should ignoring the problem be an option? If the cops were called and told you to just ignore the noise and go somewhere else to sleep would that solve the dilemma? If something bothers me I can't just let it go because then other HM type posters will come along and the next thing you know this board looks no better than THIS. Please help to stop the stupidity before it crushes us all... |

Shorty, it is a good point. How about a little courtesy? At least use the size tags....

Is this a joke?
Seriously, if rkmsuf hadn't decided to be the bearer of bad news and complain (seems the only thing I see from him..), this wouldn't be an issue. I can't believe that bullshit. I've had this sig for 2 fuckin' months, and now somone calls me out on it? |

Shorty, it is bullshit. We shouldn't be regulating signatures unless they are breaking the same rules that a post would. I don't see many posts being deleted because they are long.

It's been festering...how hard is it to insert 2 tags..geez sorry to impose on your valuable time.
It's request, not an ultimatum. Take it as you will but judging by your intial response you'll take it as an asshat...

Addendum.....
It would be polite to reduce the size of a longer signature.

It doesn't bother anyone, but it was a way to get me stirred up and it worked. Also, how come I wasn't given the option to use size tags and make mine smaller? I know I have seen it all now.

I always thought it was funny looking, and I always thought it was meant to grab attention...it never offended me, but I can see where others may be offended. As for long signatures, I don't care as long as they're respectful...I mean you can have a long sig honoring a team that you identify with that has won big (say Dutch with the Tampa Bucs) but at some time you should return it to something more minimal...but again, I think it is at the mods decision. The crude image of a woman is just that, crude...but again, as I said, I didn't really care one way or another, I knew it was just a HM way of blatant attention grabbing. |

It had nothing to do with appealing what so ever & it clearly did bother people so you are wrong on those points. This poll had nothing to do with getting you stirred up since I could honestly care no less for you than I already do so you are wrong there as well. BTW, this was never just about you but thanks for trying to make it that way like you have with nearly everything else. It had nothing to do with how big your marks and slashes were so you are wrong again. And look who’s whining after all. If you have read through the thread you will have your answer as to what people around here find wrong with your choice of signature. Other than that there really isn't much else to say about it. Sorry it didn't work out for you so now you can either get with the program or move along to bother some other board. Besides, weren’t you leaving on your own accord after your failed poll about returning? |
