Request Bring back signatures!

Bring back text-only signatures

We know horrible huge pictures as signatures ruin threads and make it large. But text-only signatures, with a characters limit, would be nice. Signing your posts with a nice phrase or motto was always great and cool!

Please consider.

Before downvoting, dare say no to this little @upnorth

My " about " picture signature. :emoji_v:

Spoiler

The idea might actually work, unless it's used to spam/troll rude crap about some poor vendors etc. Moderation approval, also for changes perhaps?

Btw, only allowed for trusted members.

Well there is plenty of space b/w profile pic and tags. I upvote this.

Signatures only available for members level 10+?

Maybe, but I rather first hear more if it's actually interesting to implement.

Count my vote for it @Robbie!

@upnorth how does one achieve Trusted status anyway?

Beers to the admins?

Yes, why not, if done in moderation.

Ah, that's some oligarchy stuff we commoners cannot yet comprehend.

Do the administrators have a bug?

I want only one rule, more the tag person has lesser the maximum word limit. Cause you know less space, we don't wanna make it too messy
BTW I just noticed that security configs are attched right next to the tags, why I never saw it? I always used to search for my thread.:X3:

Voted "couldn't care less" but that means: whatever way the wind blows is A-OK with me.

The thing is, it can work against you if you're not proofing what you're posting. I'll give an example: There's a signature in another very new and nice forum flaunting 9-11, a deeply moving historic occurrence for many, myself included. The year is incorrectly stated as 2011, yet implores you to "never forget." It's been up like that at least a few days now. I took a snip but I'd rather the message kind of meander and wander to that person's attention in an profoundly indirect and 10th hand way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You have a point. And there are cases where it's misused or somehow inappropriate, depending on the eye of the beholder.

I just saw that tonight..... over at Oldschool's forum.

Yes, an unfortunate error.

As long as A: It's OK with her who knows all things (other half) B: Dylan quotes are OK

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Why? Like these forums how they are now. Without the distraction of signatures the conversation look more calm, professional and is better to read.

 

[Venustus]

I think that signatures might be a good thing...as long as they are not too large or distracting to the post.

 

[Deletedmessiah]

I'm fine with text only signatures. I don't like them with images, gifs, big emojis etc. But still, if it were to be implemented, they definitely should provide option to hide it.
