ANNOUNCEMENT: new sig rules unfair to AO'ers

[Doc Nickel]

I'm in agreement with Sparky and cledford here. Previously, the Sig images were huge, annoying and repetitive.

It was quite common to read a post that had fewer than five words of actual topic-relevant text, then three seperate graphics totalling 125K and five lines of wholly irrelevant text.

For example, Psychoclown; do we really need to know that you don't have a foregrip on your 'Mag? Why is that important enough to mention six or eight times in a thread?

I could do with out sigs. Take a look at the guild. Its one of my favorite forums, everyone there is defined by thier knowledge that they put forth.

a sig image should be a 175x350 pixel representation of what you cant express by providing somthing useful.

lol, kev is a hypocrite!!
sorry, I just had to point that out

Never was one for sigs. Having recently found the option in the user control panel that BLOCKS THEM ALL, my DSL connection and I are much happier.

You lazy people need to read the person's name who is posting, not just the pretty picture with all the nice colors to tell them apart. Goodness, what would life be like if everyone had their sig image plastered across their forehead? Some of you might rent it out as advertising space...

AO is growing so we will have to change into something that's more like pbnation and pbcity. I can't say I like it(but I can say I hate the hundreds of new jerks on the forums, no names) but AO won't just needs to cut back the on luxuries for a good reasons. They don't just decide out of the blue that we cannot have huge sigs. Would you rather them just crank it up a notch or two and tell us we can only post once a day max to save server space?



Also why do people form these capo/pepper/wang groups? Is it to feel important? I don't know what all these groups are about but I do know that pie revolution stuff is just adsurdly stupid. PEOPLE DO NOT CARE IF YOU LIKE PIE OR NOT, MOST PEOPLE DO. It's almost as dumb as spending thousands on research to find out if people enjoy hard work. Plus putting pie as an option on poles is soooo stupid. Do people think they are funny? I can tell when someone just wants to post for the hellavit when they post a poll with the option "pie". That automatically tells me the person does not truely care about the pole, they just waste server space.

wheather your depicting me as one of those "jerks" you say is on AO or not, i don't see my self as one. i just recently started posting again on AO, and i just wanted to stir things up, didn't intend on upseting anyone. got my sig.. and im happy.. its 150 X 150..

another hint of who I feel are the "jerks"

I am not calling you a jerk at all. I don't know why my words are not so great but I felt I clearly showed who are these "jerks," I respect you. You are trying to fight for the people on the board, but if too many people abuse their ability to add pointless pics in their posts then we all have to suffer uncluding people with nice sigs instead of "I like pie and so does everybody else but i'm gonna add it to my sig because I'm brain dead and think I'm the only one in the world who likes it plus it makes me feel important because I'm part of something."

I didn't really mind the big sigs, to me the problem, and nuisance came when people attached them to every post they made instead of one per thread, psycoclown414

[psycoclown414]

dude.. my sigs are just there.. they sit at the bottom of every post i make.. and so those mods want thier small image.. they got it.. and im happy with it.. i don't attach my sigs with a pic everytime, its there.

It's there because you don't uncheck the Show Signature: box on the reply screen.

[cphilip]

OK I will say it...ONE SIG PER POST! Its only the polite thing to do. Its not a rule but its understood that its the right thing to do. Its been discussed here many times. So please be polite and only post your signature once per thread. Uncheck the show signature box or make it default in your profile to not post it and check it that one time if that works for you.

[WicKeD_WaYz]

I think the rules suck but I do agree something had to be done. The only sigs that really annoyed me were the ones that were like showing up vertically as like 6 inches on my computer. Thats like half my screen and it got annoying to scroll through them.
