No more spoilers in signatures.

I think spoilers could actually help the signatures a bit. For the people who do want all their PBs and such they could just post them in spoilers. I don't think this can be done now, and I have no idea how hard it would be to implement, but...

I do agree with the dictatorship system though, just throwing out ideas.
 
I don't care either way but find it highly amusing that it is an issue.
I find it really easy to not click spoilers if I don't want to.

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.

Instead of two lines, how about a character limit?

For those who are complaining that this is a dictatorship issue, you should know that the speedcubing community itself is not based on democracy. I mean, look at the Haiyan ban. It's unfortunate but as far as expedience goes, dictatorship is the way to go for the cubing community. Sure we have input into regulations but it's ultimately left up to the "WCA", whoever that entails. If you don't like this, either start a Rubik's Revolution, get out, or put up with it.

I SEE WHAT U DID THAR


Looking at the posts nao, I kinda gree nao. Signatures are for public display. Spoilers are meant to keep secret until you have the honrable strength and courage to click "Show". If it's a secret at all, don't need it in yo signature.

So hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband cause they'll banning anyone with spoilers in their siggy.

Character limit = lots of newlines = larger signature.

Why are people not being specific with this? I know things need to be done to the forum, but it helps to know what others think needs to be done as well. Being all, "imma be cool and clever and not actually say what I think needs to be done", isn't going to help.

This made need to take out the video that went with my sig.:( (Actually it would fit without the spoiler but someone might have a heart attack if they see an entire video in a signature.And ban me.)
And just out of curiosity (watch me get banned for this question). What exactly qualifies Dan to be an Admin.?

On Topic:
I could care less, I don't really use spoilers, but I completely agree with just removing spoilers from signatures. Spoilers help with gigantic pics and such, and really, not clicking on the spoiler is pretty easy. I would've preferred some sort of democratic system, but now I realize that a dictatorship would work much better.

Lets see... I've only been on the forum for over 3.5 years, I've known PJK for over 3 years, I know what I'm talking about, spend a good amount of my time on the forum, and PJK respects me well enough to entrust me with admin privileges. What other reason does there need to be?

--EDIT--
and for all of you complaining, how many of you were here when I was part of the original push for spoilers and went and found the code for it?

Good point. Keep administrating. Can I put the video in without spoilers? JK
 
go ahead and put a link to a video in your signature, but a youtube video loading with every post you make is not a good thing for other people viewing the forum. Consider it a courtesy to all of us.
 
If this had been a rule from the start then nobody would have cared. Stop looking for reasons to complain and feel wronged. PJK started this site for the community and poured a lot of his time and money into making it great. The forum belongs to him, and he has trusted us (admins and mods) to act in his place when he is unable to take care of things himself. He trusts us to run this forum in a way he finds agreeable, and you should too. This is just another rule, and it's not even a big one. If you really object so strongly, then I suggest you find another forum.
