Let's ban signatures! Compulsory poll included - Page 14 - About the Forums

Just for the record, I was really starting to enjoy your posting (no sarcasm), but now that I see you are using a signature, my opinion has lessened somewhat.

Are you sure it was a signature? Maybe just a low content post

FWIW sarge did send me a pm asking me to shorten my sig which i have done (except in the riggie thread cos they just deserve all the pain) But i will still continue to use my sig whenever i can. the following post makes a lot of sense imo.

As so many people are complaining about my sig i will translate for you ( though a simple google search could have told you this).

Is misé Tompakee literally means I am (with respect) Tompakee

Just be happy i don't use this as my sig

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

anywho as Bobo said i am not breaking any rules and it's pretty hilarious that with all that's going on in the world a couple of forum "regs" are getting their panties all knotted up over an extra few words on the end of a post!

That's not to say his sig will always be allowed, but that hardly means it's ridiculous that he's allowed to use it.

It is ridiculous because the same action isn't taken against tompakee when there is a public outcry for action and that it is obvious he is just doing it to troll at this point. I don't see why a clear consensus isn't enough to take action but one mod's opinion (on an actually funny sig!) is.

Well of course it isn't. But when the opinion on an issue is so clear, that should push the ruling class into action imo. (and I'm not talking about sigs in general, just tompakee's. The consensus is much clearer on his it seems).

I think it is quite likely that the mod who warned the guy in the other thread knew about Tompakee. So this mod kinda choose to do something against someone "protesting" against Tompakee and not against Tompakee himself.

I know 2+2 isn't a democracy, but i do think it's kinda weird to do exactly the opposite of what people want

I ****ing hate signatures, for no particular reason, so $5 on Stars and I'll nuke a poster with a signature of your choice and put it down to a 'drunken misclick'.

$10 and I'll let you pick the ban reason

$15 gets you the above and a free ban of any one poster with less than 100 posts as well.

Group discounts are available.

Serious question:

How would the mods / admin feel if everyone had "I am "SN"

" in various foreign languages at the bottom of EVERY post?

What PP meant was:

We've had a lot of enquiries and there's lots of speculation on the forums, so I wanted to address the signatures chatter. As you know, the moderators participate in many discussions in the mod forum. As such discussions are always confidential, we are unable to comment on rumors. As soon as we have information to share publicly we will do so.

The new rule will be that everyone is required to use signatures.

Choose yours wisely, as bloody wars will be fought over the most clever.
