Another rule vote

The Longterm Poster Posts : 3221 Join date : 2011-06-03

Okay, this one is not a rule I personally care too much for, but was requested by a site member.

The rule proposed is that big signatures (ie Sigs that are more than two pics [that have been resized to the lowest setting on Servimg]) should not be allowed, and that we need to cap the max Sig size.

Now, I'm no fan of huge Sigs, but I have an alternative that I feel would work a lot better.

If you have such a sig that fits the parameters above, you need simply to put it, or a moajority of it, in a Spoiler. That way you can have your cake and everyone can eat it.
Actually that's a bad metaphor, but you get the idea.

Anyway, please vote. and we'll see if this needs to be a thing.

No. It's never been an issue before and now, I have been singled out by Nick and suddenly this is a big problem? What? We've had far bigger sigs than mine in the past with no complaints, and mine has been like this for ages, so why suddenly does Nick have an issue with it?

I'm not saying who it was that asked me, but I can safely say that you are not being singled out. Nick has (or had, I dunno if its still the same) a massive sig, much larger thatn yours. My sig is a little big as well. It's not trying to single anyone out, it's just asking if anyone feels this needs to be a thing.

Personally, I am not casting a vote on this one, because it's something that bothers me, but not enough to make any rule of it. This vote is all you guys.

You don't need to say, it was Ñick who raised his concerns about my sig. And yes we have all had large-ish sigs. So why the fuck is it suddenly an issue.

In my opinion, it isnt. It was requested that I call a vote on the issue, so I have done so.

Shelby, why are you making such a big deal out of this?

The Wizards Posts : 4579 Join date : 2011-05-10

Why are you? This was never an issue and we've had much larger sigs in the past, so why are you making such a big deal over this now?

And that makes it right?

There have been much bigger sigs...Im pretty sure I had one and was requested to make it smaller or taken off..politely of course.

It makes it stupid to suddenly bring this up as a problem now, and it has come from me, which now means this is the second thing you've brought up over me in a short time.

It looks like we have a Tiebreaker. No rule shall be added on the matter of Signatures. Thread will be closed in the morning, in case any who wish to vote who have not yet come back online.

That's what I was saying. The 4th vote is the breaker.

it hasn't even been up for 24 hours, that's rather sudden.

We don't have that many active users. All that is needed is a majority. With the 7 votes already down, we can give it until 2pm BST before closing as it won't garner many, if any, more votes
