Guys... can we please get the signatures under control? I just went in and turned everyones off, simply because right now there are several people's sigs that are longer than 90% of their posts!
Please?

Finally.
Ohms there is actually a setting in vbullentin that you can choose not to see other people signitures.
I would leave it up to the user to decide if they want to see them or not. I do know for a fact vbullentin has this feature but not sure if this feature is activated on this forum On Pinstack it is :)
Yea:
I'd really rather not have to leave it that way. Dee could turn them off globally too, you know...Quote:

Agreed. I'd like to see Dee turn on length limits and turn off say like the size tags.
I absolutely agree that it is annoying but,
I don't think censorship is ever the answer. What's next? Burning books?
Restricting the size of signatures in order to make the forum easier to read is barely censorship.
heh
You're talking to one of the largest libertarians on this forum.
:)
I agree with HoustonGM. The content is not the problem at all, so this isn't about censorship.
Nice! We've hit a new low in blandness. Or is it a high?
Well...my only thoughts are that the last time Ohm's messed with the internet he broke it.....:p
It's freedom of expression.
Back in Albuquerque there was a big hooplah over graffitti. Everyone thought that the graffitti was bad, marking up the city. It was, of course, made illegal.
Then there was a another hooplah about wooden crosses and flowers being put around town by families to remember their loved ones who had died in car-related accidents. This was, of course, illegal.
Then, some graffittiers complained that some graffitti was to commerate the deaths of some of their homies. Of course, graffitti remained illegal.
Censorship isn't just about content. It's also about the way the content is presented.
I think my sig may have prompted this thread. I am happy to let everybody know that it has been shortened to a sensible size.
OK, I accept that. However, where your freedom of expression hiders mine, we need to come to some sort of agreement in order to occupy the same space. Graffiti is only graffiti because it damages someone else's property. I have an equal right to say that I don't want your expression on my property as you have to express whatever you'd like. I'm a libertarian, not an anarchist.Quote:

It may have prompted several others to create equally obnoxious signatures, but it didn't prompt this thread.Quote:

Look, the content of the signatures is completely irrelevant. When you create a signature though, you should be aware that it's going to be attached to every single post that you make. If the vertical footprint of the signature that you're creating is larger than... oh, about 2 lines of regular text, then it's really problematic.
Oh waaaaQuote:

This from the guy who's more conservative than I am...
:rolleyes:
If there is a way to turn those blasted things off then please spell it out, put it in a thread and sticky it. Those things annoy the **** out of me, and like ohms said it has gotten especially ridiculous of late.Quote:
