i know everbody likes to express themselves but seriously, the signatures are out of control. On many forums now it is very hard to wade through the posts due to the clutter of the thread.
This is mainly because people feel the need to put as many as three to four separate quotes in their signature of things people have said before them. Can we limit the number of characters for signatures or something please?
I absolutely agree!!!!
There should be a limit on how many lines, and the font size.
I think 4 lines in the standard 12-point font is plenty for peeps to express themselves.
Please mods!!! Consider changing this!
I'm all for it... there are restrictions on all aspects of server load,,,but none on brain load...
It's true! Some of that stuff goes overboard and does bog ya down when gleening for some pearl or funny story. Some of the quotes are amusing and I wonder if there would be some kind of way of placing expiration dates which could automatically delete stagnant quotes and such.
^ Impossible, i dont think its a problem, i mean, its only writing, and the sigs are limited to 500 characters anyway, no need for any more.

no offence mate but you say its too much, i say its not......who's to say who's right? no one....so lets just live n let live eh?
plenty of things about the boards i cant control i hate.....but i put up with them for the enjoyment of coeming a chatting to fine people such as yourself hehehhe bugger me if i care about the amount of writting under someone elses name:D
Maybe then there should be a rule that if you insist on a verbose sig, you must post a post that is at least as long...
yeah but why?Quote:

still no offence intended mate i just cant put it any other way
see all the crap we have to wade through just to see a point???
Okay, I'll drift in the breeze...if I vap a couple more bowls, I may just start quoting you mate!!! We could solve alot of problems over some fine bud.
hee hee.... I think we have a fine example! :DQuote:

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
Ok, we will look to limit signatures soon so they are not as 'loud'
any other suggestions, post em here
I agree. Our goal is to change the laws, not to clutter up the forums with needless garbage.We can't look like a bunch of morons.:D

I didnt know that there was the option to toggle the sigs off. I might try that. It is a little much to read when you are trying to catch up on a thread or grow log. Then turn 'em back on at another time. Not bad.
Funny how the only people defending large obnoxious sigs were those who have them...CHISME!!!...lol. I have a feeling that was because people were spelling your name wrong???? You should've seen the debacle with my name. lol...now I'm a friggin' amphibian.
Anyway...yea they bug me a little too, but I didn't know we could toggle them off...nice info LDN kidd. Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Chisme you go on about "live and let live" and all that, but do you realize it is signatures like yours that are obnoxious? You are misunderstanding the point. It isn't that I don't have time to read all the sigs it is because they are TOO LONG and when scrolling down a board it becomes really cumbersome. Besides, what makes people think the whole world cares what their thoughts on law, friendships and fragmented imagination are in the first place?Quote:

and chisme.... i knew i see you in this thread!!!! =)
and for all those computer dummies out there, servers suffer due to size capacity not text....
if youre gonna bitch about servers being slow, then bitch about all the pics uploaded to this site not to mention avitars and while your at it bitch about the mods using PM's.... this is what is responsible for the server load
do i care??? no
why dont i care?? because i/we dont pay to post on here
if it doesnt come out of your pocket then dont complain about it
and for all that will ask.... ronjohn, would you pay to post on here?????
yes and P4B can verify on that as well
so to all that complain.........
just stop it, this is a free site (which we should be proud of) and let people have their sigs (as long as it doesnt take up a half page) and just roll with it
smoke a joint and have fun,
Ronjohn
The sigs are fine as they are, theres is no need for a change, what so ever. At all. Period. If you dont want to read them, togle them off, problem sorted, i dont see why it should be changed because a few people dont like it, when they could just change their own settings.

LOL, this is a really easy one to solve; if sigs annoy you then go to user cp then options and then untick show sigs ...
changing the setting also blocks the respectable sigs...Quote:
