to all those who don't like sigs (not meant to be offensive though): my controls, board settings, "Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics?" - set that option to no. simple solution
I dont' see sigs.

But the point is, I don't think it's worth bit*hing about. The limits on this forum are, in my opinion, fair.

It's a form of self-expression, which some people find important, some people don't. If you really hate them, it's always easier to just turn them off in your board controls than it is to try to make other people not want them, too.

Sigs are a very good way to show us more of yourself, but you have to understand we have some rules, and how would you have felt if you imposed a rule, and a year later, after many reminders, you still find people defying you?

And i think i am pretty fair.I issued a warning before started acting, so everybody knows...

The thing is... if the majority of people don't like the rules, then guess what happens? They break them en masse, which leads to revolution.

Sometimes, the problems are the rules, not the people breaking them. That's why most government have ways of amending laws.

This is different, obviously, than flaming or trolling, because the people wanting bigger sigs aren't trying to hurt anyone. They just want to express themselves, and are frustrated by their limitations.

Just my opinion.

you have it down to a fine point.

:Brain:

heres my view on the whole subject:



im not trying to troll im just expressing my opinion in what i feel is a relevant way. i like this forum alot, there are many people here who have some great opinions and ideals and the forum is rich and vibrant. The last thing i want to do is be banned - im just trying to express my views.

Okay tell you what... talk to Kosta, and see what he has to say.If he grants you what you desire then fine.I will ask Kosta for the result on monday.Should he deny your request, i expect you to comply to the rules, like i have chosen to be civilized, and let you sort things out with Kosta first
