Yeah... um... why are images not allowed in signatures again?

To be rather blunt, the guys who run the forum don't like images in signatures.  We all seem to agree that images in signatures breaks the flow of a thread.  Text ones aren't so bad and can actually be useful and/or relevant.  We don't want members to have to block *all* signatures just so they won't be annoyed by the few obnoxious ones that would ultimately appear.

You should've seen Juggalones7's sig.

nensondubois

Well, actually, I havne't seen his signature but it appears that everyone should suffer from logic of a select few. :P

Welcome to the USA!  ;D

Have you been through an airport recently?


nensondubois

Comparing apples and oranges proves your point even further (By the way; Israel runs airports security properly and there is minimum suffering there. People are givin steak knives on their airplanes.)? Ok, then I'll compare Coke with Pepsi to solve world hunger.

When you travel to a distant planet, you must adhere to that planet's rules.  Welcome to the World of Famicom :P

Seriously, are image sigs such a big deal to you?

nensondubois

No, not really unless they are offensive.

ericj

I don't think that's what UglyJoe meant by his question. I believe he meant, why do you seem to care so much about being able to have them?

BTW, your suggestion about only non-offensive sig's reminds me of the US Supreme Court first trying to define what "pornography" is.  :D

All I wanted to do was show my fucking TZ signature and someone... I've wasted enough time on this issue. We need a vote or something to settle this.

Yeah, I removed the image from your sig.  Big deal.  Why is it so important that everyone knows your TZ info?  We have threads for trading things, you don't need to advertise it in every one of your posts.

Not directly on topic, but what does TZ stand for?

A vote still need on this issue from the regular members who care and at least one non regular member so in-case it's a loss, they can't complain and call it unfair.

There will be no images in sigs. It's a rule that's allowed an uninterrupted and productive conversational flow in threads. There are plenty of opportunities the FW overlords have graciously permitted for advertising one's wares without needing an image in the sig.

Nenson, as you'll clearly be able to see through several posts in this topic, I don't think that many people, if any at all care about images.
