Gorth Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 How about letting the next version of the board software enforce the FAQ automatically, at least size-wise. Thou may create customized signatures, but Obsidian requests that any such signature be in good taste, and fit in less than five lines. Obnoxious, overbearing signatures *will* be deleted with extreme prejudice. Specifications, should they become necessary, will be appended here. Emphasis mine. Swithing off signature viewing in your settings is all nice and easy. Ti's just that some of the people out there have funny and/or intelligent signatures, that it would have been nice to see... <_> “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Many sigs clearly break the 'five line' rule. hell, some use almost fifty lines! I don't want to stare at huge obnoxious sigs. I hate them.

mkreku Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Is my sig too big? Use this as a guideline: everytime you post something and your signature is larger than your post, then your sig is too big and obnoxious for other readers.

Petor23 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 It seems to me, Karzak, that your idea of debating is to try and insult the opponent any way possible (of course it fails, but thats beside the point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petor23 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 The thing is, you try and turn everything into a debate, take this thread for example, you've made me try and point out what the hell is wrong with you, while you just sit there and flame.

Arkan Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hmm...I thought females help boys "become men." "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrogen Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Is my sig too big? Use this as a guideline: everytime you post something and your signature is larger than your post, then your sig is too big and obnoxious for other readers. hmmmm.... I can just see people starting to write novels of nonsense just to make sure thier post is larger than their sig. As for any sigs in this thread. The ones that are written, I think are fine. The image - while nice, only becomes an issue when you get a thread with about 10 of those suckers on a single screen. But I don't think there is a rule against them. Petor, although Karzaks comment might seem out of line, you did ask for comments about your sig and Karzaks comment is something I hear quite often, not just on boards.

mkreku Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hydrogen, if you want to see an example of a really obnoxious signature, check out "Servant of Eru" (or something like that)...

Sargallath Abraxium Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 ...'ere we goes again... <_< ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died.
