I've had enough with this. Everyone has 7 days from today to remove the spoilers from their signatures, or face a ban.

Thank you. Have a nice day.
 
[14:15] <+DeneBeardsley> What's the point of the spoilers thing?
[14:15] <+Venim> DeneBeardsley: i ####ing hate them
[14:15] <+Venim> so i'm getting rid of them
[14:16] <+DeneBeardsley> lolol gotta love the dictatorship
 
Lovely. So any reason at all? So masterofthebass is banning something just because he doesn't like it.
Don't you love the reasoning? -_-
It's not like everyone in the forum inspects everyone else's signature everytime they post.
So what next?
 
WAIIIIIIIIIIIIT are you people honestly asking why they did this?

And furthermore does it matter?

It doesnt actually affect anyone, other than they get rid of [ spoiler] and [/spoiler]
done...
 
I haven't heard any legitimate reason for this rule yet. How does it detract from the forum? How does it cause more harm than any other sig?

In the end it doesn't really affect me, but I know that a majority of people here wouldn't like the forum to be run in a dictatorial way. Why not just have a vote on it? It would probably end in the same outcome and it would make members feel more involved and part of the forum. Just my two cents...

We implemented a 2 line signature rule a while ago because people would make signatures that were obnoxiously long, filled with every PB ever and a bunch of pictures. This took away from the actual content. Using spoilers in signatures is similar to this. It makes signatures larger and more noticeable and takes away from the actual content of the threads.

For the dictatorship thing: we run it like a dictatorship as opposed to a "have everyone vote on everything" kind of thing to, as well as other reasons, avoid ignorance. People often jump to conclusions without thinking about what they're actually deciding.

Also, the banning is probably a bit strict. I'll probably just change people's sigs after the 7 days if I see any. Dan should do the same.

AGREE 100%

oh and, the 2 line thing make it 3 please...
i understand that people want to put many things in their signature, but if too many it is annoying and getting off-topic right?

-correct me if i'm wrong-

I don't understand your reasoning behind making it 3 instead of 2. Probably a language issue going on here. Could you explain why you would like it to be 3 instead of 2? I don't see a real need to have one more line.
