Political Signatures

[TosaInu]

Hello,

The Backroom is an opt-in for some months, so people who want just gaming content don't have to see this. Signatures can still contain Backroom material and are visible in every forum.

There are two solutions for this:
-ban Backroom content from signatures.
-have a Backroom only signature.

The code for a Backroom only signature already works, be it that it's still pretty basic. Not 100% sure it shows in all skins now, but the default, Guild, Dojo and RTW work already. There's room for ~500 characters (spaces count too). I do not know yet whether it can become more flexible.

Which option do you like more? Ban Backroom content from the signature and keep displaying the classic signature in the Backroom, or a Backroom only signature that can contain Backroom material?

I was never one for doing things with duplicity or cared to include vulgar or ethically questionable material, not that all backroom material is such. I therefore would opt for not including backroom content in my signature. A signature should reflect something of one's personality or character.

This is just MHO of course. I am, however, in the spirit of democracy, willing to abide by the wishes of the greater whole.

Why complicating things?

We have forum rules already. If a sig violates the forum rules, it has to be changed, if not, it can be shown everywhere. Why making life more difficult by having different rules for different subfora?

Before you know it, people will ask for priviliges concerning their sig in other subfora, like for instance the MP sections where more competitive people tend to post.

I prefer the simplicity of one set of rules being applicable on every part of these forums.

I agree with andres, one set of rules for sigs for all forums.

Something you won't see me type often I suspect:

I agree with Odin.

The full version of "The Lord of the Sigs" by request from Seamus. (blame him)


Three sigs for the Orgah kings sundered awry
Seven for the Dork Lords in their halls alone
Nine for the Tavern Regs doomed to fry
One for the Dutch Lord on his Org throne
In the land of Forums where the Backroom lies.

One sig to rule them all,
One sig to find them,
One sig to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
In the land of Forums where the Backroom lies.

Translated: I agree with doc - and so on...

Wow I never noticed your sig Seamus. Thick as a Brick? I love Tull. I remember Anderson passed around a tale that a 9 year old had written it or something like that.
