Id like a warning next time

oneofakind32

Ive been on other forums where right wing egomanical American enjoy pulling down my sig pics but for christ sake even they give a warning first. Its not too much to ask for

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Yes, yes it is.

ecksor

He's right, it is.

SantaHoe

See the Newbie / FAQ forum for signature guidelines.

...it's not too much to ask for tbh.

No. no it's not.

Anyway, a left wing egomanical Irishman pulling down your signature must surely add variety to your life.

Ive been on boards were masked swearing e.g. F*uck you you mother f*cker'' could get you band. Some incredibly conservitive stuff all together but at least they had the decency to give me a warning when my sig pic was a few pixels oversized before they took it down.

id complain.

ecksor

Boards.ie - Never claimed to be decent.

Seriously, I probably would warn people about the hideous monstrosities in their signatures if it wasn't for the fact that I'm deleting about 10 a day lately.

Actually, no, I wouldn't, I always just delete the things. It's not like it was an intricately formatted piece of text that took you ages to do (those ones I tend to warn about or surgically cut out the images), it was a link to a URL. You can replace it with a properly sized picture quite quickly once you've found/made one and in the meantime people aren't getting annoyed by your oversized graphics.

I disable sigs. They are for the most part vanity boards and I find I have to scroll down through crap to read anything intresting (yes I know I have a sig ).

I only leave the icons on as it helps me see quickly who is who.

So what did this sig look like?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i dunno about his, but you should totally check mine out

oneofakind32

It was the Chilil Peppers on Simpsons and a spining red astrix

WhiteWashMan

that sounds cool
you should put it in your signiture

Raphael

Anyone else think that the title page should change to

Boards.ie - NOT A FSCKING DEMOCRACY

Might cut down on the whining

You should write and complain to Brian Oards, proprieter of this fine establishment. I hear he's very against this sort of thing.

But perhaps they could take into account the lowest common denominator and actually make an effort to highlight these important pieces of legislation during the signup process. A few links in the sign up email wouldn’t go a miss tbh.

Its that long since I signed up I've forgotten what one gets on sign-up, but thats not a bad idea. Maybe a link to the ten worst crimes on boards...you know, adware questions on security, thinking boards is a democracy, spilling ecksor's pint, pis*ing in the deep end...

I didn't get a sign up mail - those nasty people!

RTFM tbh.

What happened to oneofakind01 to 31?

You sir are an oxymoron.

woosaysdan

yeah yes brian oards is yor only man!!! he will but these silly admins in place for removing your sig that broke the rules set down by them, just to keep you happy you can e-mail him here brian.oards@gmail.com

Actually before July 2001 this place was a communist utopia.

WhiteWashMan

actually, it was more like an anarcho-syndicalist commune

DeVore

I've been meaning to rewrite the welcome message for some time now... It will ease our work load (which is increasing daily ) if people at least read that much.

To give you an idea of the likely effect that will have: On VB2 we had a big red sign that says "if you get this page you are either not authorised to visit this board or if you recently signed up or changed your email address in your profile you will HAVE to go and click the BIG LINK that says "Click Me Or You Wont Be Able To Post".

We got at least a mail a day from people saying "why am I not able to post??" to which I had a standard reply of "Because you didnt click the link that said 'Click Me Or You Wont Be Able To Post'."

Almost all of them would mail back and say "oh, sorry, I didnt read it".

Besides we took out some stupidly big 500K animated gif probably. You did get a warning, its currently still in your sig. Its a warning cos if you look reaaaaal close between the lines it reads "do it again and there wont be another warning".

Oh, welcome to Boards.

I think that was the period between February 1998 and August 1999. From then until around July 2001 it was generally regarded as communist (non-soviet).

At one point I even had a Chinese man accusing me of being a communist because my avatar was red. I said it brought out the colour of my eyes.

Ah happy days.

Anyway is there away i can retrieve my sig pics so I can resize them. I dont have them on my harddrive. I had them linked from other sites.

The Sweeper

Certainly, you can get then from the "your deleted content" archives. It's linked from the main page, beside the "wipe my arse for me" button.

hey, i had abuse via a rep and you have done nothing for me!

i feel bad!

you are all horrible!

I hate you!

I believe oneofakind32 has not met the intelligence quota required for using boards, the internet or even a computer (even an imac). I'm not even sure a pen and paper wouldn't confuse him.

P.s I'd +rep you Wwman for your sorrow and for missing the now obvious to me Monty Python quote but the nasty machine won't let me, bloody fascist!

well, as punishment, rent out the holy grail and watch until you can quote ad nuseam.

no need for +rep old chap, i think we are at the limit of green apples anyway. besides, id much rather you used it to good effect, feeding famine vicitms, curing cancer, creating world peace, beating down bad rep complainers etc

EKRIUQ

The mods I have to deal sent me pm about my signature I took it down and then he banned me from the community that was a month ago and still denied access, So see oneofakind32 your lucky you only had your signature taken down and I'm sure you'll find another one.

WhiteWashMan

you know, theres a bunch of people with less than 1000 posts here tht have higher rep than me.

can these people be banned on apermanent basis?

]or at least have their rep taken off them, as they have obviously mis-used the system and swapped rep.
and we all know that rep should only be given out based on the contents of a post.
right?
