Woo 3 lines now! (Before: Stop trying to evade signature restraints.)

You guys are blowing this out of proportion. There's just as much harm in having more than two lines as there is in having two lines, which is not very much. The argument that the mods are wielding power for the sake of wielding it is just as valid as the argument that you guys are breaking the rules for the sake of breaking the rules.
 
The argument for 3 lines reminds me of the Lenin quote, "No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses."

In any case, sigs aren't really necessary. I'd do without mine. The amount of "freedom" we get by having 2-line sigs is negligible.
And @Michael Womack, the TwistyPuzzles forums signatures can be as horrendous as WordArt in a dissertation.
 
[directed at people complaining] Come on, how about come up with something real to complain about. I have much more significant complaints about the mods than silly things to do with signatures.

Having led a few big forums I can say one thing: a forum is not a democracy.

Basically that boils down to: what management says goes, and if you don't like it, you can leave ;)

Twistypuzzles is one of those dictator-type forums and I can say it is not fun at all. I would like to think speedsolving is better than this.

What an ignorant thing to say.
(although I agree with you this time)

Although I was being ironic to parody how big of a deal some person(s) has made having longer than three lines sigs, I think that though it's small, it's a reflection on what the attitude is becoming.

And ranzha, i agree with you. But don't forget, the breaking rules for the sake of breaking rules argument was implied in the OP.
 
This is a very important issue and we have to deal with it with a level of sensitivity.

Adding an extra line initially will seem like nothing, but it's a slippery slope. If we let people have three lines in their signatures people will want to marry their dogs.

This is like the avatar size thing all over again. It could be done, but go fsck yourself. This should be obvious.

Back when I started chatting here after the great migration, people were just happy to have a place to discuss cubing freely without fear of retribution. You should be more thankful of what we have. This will only cause friction within the community and lead to divides.
 
No clue why this issue was brought up in this manner, but oh wellz.

Sorry for the delay, vBulletin was being quite annoying with updating my css.

I adding the following to the signature portion of the page:

Code: 
max-height: 3em;
overflow: hidden;

So basically you all have 3 lines at the normal font size. So stuff like my current signature will get cut off.

As for why it was originally two lines, we knew we needed to cut it off at some point and two lines seemed fine. I'm fine with three lines too. Anything more seems a bit excessive.

I also fixed what qq brought up, so some longer posts will be a bit more slim. Thought I fixed that a while ago, but vBulletin was probably just being annoying and brought it back somehow.

But really, such a silly thing to get all worked up over.
