No more spoilers in signatures.

It's annoying that rather than fix the site they ban people.
The site itself should not allow it to happen in the first place.

I'm fine with the rule, just not the ban.

Instead of two lines, how about a character limit?

I think we had only a character limit before. Lucas and I pointed out how silly this was by making incredibly tall signatures. Now we have a line limit *and* a character limit.

Personally I don't think it would hurt to allow 3 lines (with the same limits otherwise). But I also don't see any advantage to it.


@ spoilers in sigs: IMO - and just as a suggestion - no tags except links (URL tag) and perhaps a few formatting tags should be allowed in signatures, for the same reason we have only two lines: it distracts from the posts. Other tags should either simply not work at all when in sigs, or be detected when you try to change your sig (like the character and line limits). It would probably be fairer and easier (especially for future people who miss this announcement) to just make it impossible to have a spoiler in a sig, compared to banning people who do.

Signatures are how I differentiate educated/informational people from goons/goblins. We need sigs, BRO

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?

And because you are a beast. JUST SAYING.

I think Phoenix Death said this, but I would like it also if there was a max amount of spoilers in a spoiler.
Is there a thread that asks what people think should change of the site? I think one should be made if it isn't already.
 
how about being able to change the spoiler button to say something else. Ex. i want to show a bunch of algorithms the button will say algorithms or something like that. The spoiler button makes the posts smaller especially if you are typing a long list of things.
 
This forum was fun when I started out, now I only come back occasionally to see what's new. Stupid flame wars are stupid, and over criticism is pretty big too. This new rule is honestly pretty stupid. I don't see how it would harm anyone.
 
Never understood the need for a signature in any forum. They're just off-topic and distracting. Your signature should be your name (That's why it's called a signature), there should be no need to worry about how many lines or characters you need.

And what do you need three lines for that is so important?

What do you need two lines for anyway? Why not just remove signatures altogether by that logic? o__O

I never said I wanted two lines. I never suggested anything that I wanted. Ask the other guy why his arbitrary number is more important than the one that PJK has chosen and then maybe you will get an answer to your question, and I will get an answer to mine. Two birds with one stone... my, we are doing well for ourselves aren't we?

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.

NOOOO THE OPPRESSION. NOW I WILL GO AND MAKE A NEW SITE WITH NO RULES AND IT WILL BE CALLED CUBERSUNCENSORED AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT GAY SEX IN THE US.
 
Uh, so dan cohen just made this because of faz's comic?

Dude you should talk to PJK about this. Not just make this thread and hide it from PJK

Would it be possible for admin to ban admin? o_O
 
is there any point in continuing this thread?
All thats going on here, aside from qq's post, is people crying saying its unfair, and people saying shut up.
This thread should be closed to new replys.

Just my two cents.
 
A Note To Read From TheRubiksGod

Hello people of the forums, i have just dropped by to tell you what i think of this particular issue. First of all let me first say that i completely disagree with this thread. That being said i will now continue with supporting my idea. but before i continue this thread i would like to say something off topic

-WTF is it with almost every profile picture a pokemon?!?!? Yu-Gi-Oh was the best when i was a kid?!?!?!-

On topic- This thread is completely biased, just because some people hate spoilers does not give them permission to ban the use of them, even if they are a mod. As i have read here many appreciate the use of spoilers. But your argument is that it destroys the quality of this website.

A.
first of all the overall website is pretty much damaged in quality, Answers are short, stupid threads, stupid answers, Banning for no reason, continuous fights between people, wild accusations, and such... why spoilers have been banned make no sense to me,

(I know someone is going to post a particular link to a particular thread that a particular person posted)

B.
A mod cannot/should not ban a person because they have a spoiler in their signiture. HOWEVER if that person has something some one would consider rude or innapropiate or is in no relationship to this site a ban or a warning should be considered. Just banning a person because he made a spoiler is unexceptable.

C.
A lot of signatures on this thread are like spoilers. Should people become banned because of signatures? Is this right? Think about it

Many of the mods or whatever are comparing this site to a way that some countrys are run. i have just laughed my 3 off.
THIS SITE IS A COMMUNITY

Therefore a cummunity is ran by everyone, the mods make it so that people dont break the laws, If the moderators do not like one spoiler or multiple spoilers they cant just "BAN" the use of them completely they would be abusing the people who use spoilers appropriately.

This is what would do if i were a moderator

STARTING _/_/2010 ALL SPOILERS WHICH HAVE NO RELATION TO SPEEDSOVING.COM WILL BE ISSUED A WARNING, IF THAT SUPPOSED SPOILER IS NOT REMOVED A BAN WILL BE ISSUED

thank you for taking the time to read my post, I hope that you take this post into consideration in your decision to ban the use of spoilers in an accounts signature's
