No more spoilers in signatures.

[ShadenSmith]

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

I stopped reading your post after that.

I never said you did. It was a rhetorical question, which means I'm not looking for an answer. I am saying that by your logic, we might as well remove signatures altogether.

Lololo well done for learning a new word, but it turns out you don't need to go to the effort of defining it for me, thanks.

And what logic did I have? All I did was ask him a question. You seem to be inferring a hell of a lot when I wasn't inferring anything.

THIS SITE IS A COMMUNITY

maybe you should say WE NEED DEMOCRACY

You weren't implying anything either, unless you believe in the concept of a conversational imperative.

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,
Therefore a cummunity is ran by everyone,

Stupid and unrelated.
If you are going to bash people, try not to get bashed yourself from the same reason.
You didn't give any reason why communities get ran by everyone. The admins and mods spend alot of time and effort when they can be doing something more fun on this site for the people on this site. THEY get credit for that.

petty remarks like "well done for learning a new word" are just childish.

You were mentioning how 3 lines was arbitrary and wanted him to explain the importance of that extra line. However, I was saying that 2 lines is also an arbitrary number, and I think that, should you continue along the same train of thought, it would make sense to remove signatures altogether, as I personally don't see the benefit of an extra two lines. Sure, I use the feature because it is given, but I wouldn't be bothered if signatures were taken away completely. Also, your own signature seems to contradict your statement because clearly, the chat was originally 3 lines long, but you had to condense it into two lines because of the rule. Wouldn't 3 lines or no lines make your signature look so much more neat and organized? I think so.

basically, I'm saying that there is a point to having 3 lines instead of 2 in a signature.

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

I'm listening...

That's too much work for the moderaters (go through every sig with spoilers, check the spoilers, evaluate them). It sounds like sort of a good idea, but you have to remember that after this is said, it must be put into action, making it not a very good idea."

blah blah blah you have grammar errors and such, you know the gist.

 

[uberCuber]

stupidest damn thread I have seen in quite awhile.
(talking about all the ridiculous arguing, not the actual idea of removing spoilers from sigs, which I personally don't really care about one way or another)

some mod please just close this thread now

lol@rubiksgod

 

[Daniel Wu]

This really isn't that big of a deal. Remember when there were no spoilers?

MY EYES ARE BLEEDING

I literally lol'd.

 

[masterofthebass]

some mod please just close this thread now

The only reason why I haven't already is because people I want people to notice the new rule.

 

[shelley]

Because it's stupid.

So are many members on this forum, let's ban them too.

You don't know how many times I've wanted to do that.

I haven't been very active lately and this is the first time I'm seeing this announcement, and I have to say I agree. For anyone who's still looking for a good reason why spoilers shouldn't be allowed in signatures:

1. It's too open to abuse (e.g. nested spoilers) and can be used to skirt the 2 line limit on signatures.
2. This is not the purpose of spoilers. Spoiler tags are used to a) hide actual spoilers that people might not want to read or b) hide large images or sections of text. If you really want to use "Snape kills Dumbledore" as your signature then fine, put it in white text or something, but I have yet to see a spoiler signature that is actually a spoiler or otherwise merits spoiler tags. They're always just spoiler tags for the sake of having spoiler tags and that's just stupid and annoying.

Thanks for spoiling it.

Just disable spoilers in signatures. Unnessessary. Too many s's. Stfu.

 

[ElectricDoodie]

So would this spoiler, in a post, not a sig, be OK?



The "spoiler" will contain a spoiler. Do not click "spoiler" if you do not want to be spoiled.

Spoiler

Will Smith kills himself in the end of "I Am Legend."

 

[TK 421]

Dan did this because of something very related to faz's comic (see prev. pages)
And he admitted that

We should not use a dictatorship like this

Spoilers in sig should be allowed. as long as

-no video
-no spam
-no excessive content

This is still OK

Spoiler

The actual movie spoiler that was put here by the OP was removed by brunson.

TK 421, that's kind of a jerk thing to do because you're inviting people to open this spoiler tag as an example, not hiding a spoiler that was put in context in the post and would be expected by someone that hasn't seen "I am Legend".

Not that spoiling that movie wouldn't actually save two hours of someone's life that they wouldn't ever get back, but I guess some people liked it. Clearly people that had never read the book. Still, that's just my opinion.

OK

Signature: any unique, distinguishing aspect, feature, or mark.

I agree with masterofthebass with getting rid of spoiler in signatures. Being an Adminsitrator is like being an umpire, they makes decisions of what they think is best.
