A few guidelines
2004-09-03, 3:55 PM #1
Please do not use color in your signatures. It's very annoying. Pictures have already been disabled in sigs, don't make us disable vB code alltogether.

While we're talking about color, use it sparingly. I really don't want to see stu pid s tuff l ike t his everywhere I look. Likewise, don't use font size obnoxiously.

Please don't beg for custom titles. If an admin really likes you, you might get one, but don't whine about it.

Admins: As tempting as it is, don't change your post counts (or anyone else's).

I'll probably think of more things to complain about later.

Is my sig dissalowed then? :(

It even matches the forum colour scheme.

I would say yes... but it's not as bad as others.
2004-09-03, 4:02 PM #4
That sig is awsome.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Well, I guess those colors are tolerable. I'm mostly refering to the one Freelancer had...

Too big vertically, the real reply text was (and probably will be, most of the time) shorter even

what's wrong with a little color? just because you think it's annoying doesn’t mean other people don’t like it.
Laughing at my spelling herts my feelings. Well laughing is fine actully, but posting about it is not.
2004-09-03, 4:16 PM #9
yeah, that one did kinda jump out a bit....didn't help that the font was bigger as well...

as long as they are similar in colour to the rest of the forum I don't see a huge problem, gives people the chance to do something different in their sig's if they want to....

I spent a good 5 minutes on that. :P

Besides, if it’s a problem for people they can always toggle sigs off.

With the colours it is easier to spot now.

It is truly bizarre and irritating that most replies have bigger sigs than content
2004-09-03, 4:38 PM #13
How are the gradients done?
2004-09-03, 4:50 PM #14
How about allow sigs that are in a shade of green?

Ugh, I hate signatures now. twisteduprising's is way to long and Elana's is way to orange. Signatures that grab your attention are BAD! But I'm currently not an admin so feel free to ignore me.
2004-09-04, 12:44 AM #17
You were a Banninator before weren't you Vin? Or am I just going a bit mental?

Why are you not an admin!?

2004-09-04, 9:45 AM #22
I totally second that. Coloured signatures are horrible, including but not limited to Elana's and SavageX's.
For the most part, I couldn't care less about signatures. The only signature I've enjoyed is Flirbnic's "MadQuack has a signature". That one made me laugh but I'm not entirely sure why.

I'll probably end up disabling signatures totally, if it weren't for the odd thread where someone says "Yes, this is like in Blokey's signature!".

I got one that I totally didn't ask for, and probably from an adim that really doesn't like me. In fact, I'd probably prefer it to be changed back to something non-custom. Or at least change the "wanna" to "want to".

This is an unrelated issue, but I figured I'd post it here for the sake of fun.

So, WHY exactly are the older, more experienced admins like Sine Nomen and Detritic now only super moderators, while the new, young, inexperienced admins like mscbuck and GhostOfYoda remain admins? Where oh where is the logic
2004-09-04, 10:00 AM #26
Well i'm pretty sure any admin could change your sig anytime they want. Not me though.

I suspect it's because i'm incredibly corrupt or something. Or maybe I did something wrong without anybody telling me. It's all a big mystery.

You can try all you like feeble humans, but I can't see your sigs and the world is a better place for it

The woodstock god of Fishies will jump on your houses and eat your gardens.

p.s. (i can't see your smelly sig's BASS PLEASE)

edit- on a less intoxicated note, why ARE some of the old admins no longer admins?

I mean on the whole I thought some of them were %%&$^$'s, but there's nothing wrong with having admins who are #%#%^^&$#'s.

ps.s i love \jaiphs knees
2004-09-04, 11:23 AM #30
You gotta love the custom titles, though. As for the whole sig thing... If it bothers you, you could always toggle them off in the options. I don't see it as a big deal, so...
2004-09-04, 11:27 AM #31
I'm mad that Detty, Sine, and Vinny aren't admins. As many differences as we had, I still think they made good admins. :(

I'm not sure about Sine and Det, but my de-adminization was over a misunderstanding and is being worked out.
2004-09-04, 12:01 PM #33
Hopefully. Still :(

cut my sig down some lol really people if you feel my sig was long why didn't you all just tell me as opposed to complaining about it in some randomn post. I really had no problem shortening it. I'm not that complicated a person. Just talk with me, or send a PM it's that simple

also, with all the custom titles, its hard to know who is an admin anymore unless you already know.....

Admins should have their titles in italics, or colored text, or something.
2004-09-04, 12:46 PM #36
Nah, keep it the way it is, it'll keep the clueless on their toes.

*cough*

User CP -> Options -> Show Signatures -> Off ;)

Sounds like a much easier solution than what you propose, Vinster. ;) :p

But as you can see I took the color out anyways, to keep the peace and all that. :)
