    Default New Signature Rule?

    I have noticed that now we have limitation of 200 charactors for signature.
    Is this true?

    Yes, that is true. There is also a ten character limit on replying to posts now to avoid one word replies or just a smilie post.

    That's a great idea, SC. Hopefully, it will increase the quality of the posts, not the quantity only.

    Yes, I've noticed a few people with massvie signatures that take up nearly a page, but when they post they only use 1 or two words.

    I think it's broken somehow. Can you reinforce this so that I don't have to read flyingfox2002's long and boring signature everytime he posts ?

    Indeed he has! At least siding with him in some debates is worth it

    I just decided to not include the sig in most posts since it is very long. I didn't remove it to please candide. I didn't see the complaint until now.

    I'll truncate my sig, as I understand not all folks understand Beyond.

    It's not that those who hate long sigs hate them because they can't understand what the hell they are about. It's because they have to scroll down a lot to get over something that they maybe read once, that takes heaps of valuable screen space, to get to the real content of the thread.

    If you like that poem (or whatever it was) so much, why don't you upload it as a TXT file somewhere and put a link to it in your signature?

    That would exceed the 200 characters limit.

    The Text sign doesn't annoy me as much as those huge animated that goes on and on forever or the audio sign that plays during the viewing of that site... They were neat at first then it just become waste of space.

    Glad you don't see those here.


    My mistake, I forgot Fox doesn't please anyone anymore Sorry Candide for giving you false hopes

    Anymore? I haven't aimed to please anyone ever. Always been a tell it like it is kind of guy.

    In real life, I am very diplomatic because I have to be to protect my own interests, i.e., I would have to say a truth in a certain way so as not to step on any feet, but here I can say the truth bluntly all the time.

    Candide, everytime is not a word. Every time is the way to go.
