    Yeah, it doesn't really bother me, either. But, whatever. It is redundant.

    People are just hard up for signatures, I guess.

    Individuality.

    Considering the hard crackdown on the person currently known as X I think more people should be made aware that it is a custom that is frowned upon. He wasnt alone, not at all.

    There was no hard crackdown on myself... Blackthorne and Tal both told me to stop pretty nicely... I argued for a sec... When I was informed it was part of the rules then I felt badly and withdrew my name from posts as well as Posting an apology to them on my free will (as well as in PM)

    I am a really nice guy I just really did not know it was so bad ~shrug~

    Actually even I think a short, everchanging sentence in the end is rather refreshing. But precisely that spamming of same useless information, wether an organisation, a link, or your nick which everyone already knows. That's stupid.

    So Arab, keep doing what it is you do. At least in my opinion.

    [​IMG] joacqin, everyone who is doing it is being informed either by PM or e-mail, or both. The only problem is, most of them don't bother to check either. So don't presume we're being partial to anyone.

    [​IMG] Just a small possable future. If the ever changing comment at the end of a post is allowed, like Ara's and Eze's ones (which I look forward to seeing everyday for their current and amusing views on life) what if a lot of people begin doing this? Only reason I hadn't done something like that from post 1 was from reading the rules I thought they were frowned upon also.
    A load of these in every post in every topic could be a bit offputting. Amusing at times, pure spam most of the time probably, but would it get annoying if people started doing this?

    As long as it's different *every* single time, then it'll be tolerated. The main reason I don't want to see the repetition of usernames at the bottom is because it's totally pointless and a waste of half a second of my glancing at them. If there's always something different there, at least it won't be a total waste of time if I read it.

    Still, I'd prefer if it wasn't done at all, just for the sake of those people who'd see it and think that signatures are allowed.

    Good point Tal!

    (when do you think I'll get in trouble for using the halo smiley at the end of most my posts? ;) )

    Heh, if you think a name at the end of a post is annoying, you should see other forums. Some have pictures half the size of my screen as a sig.

    But I agree. Putting your name behind a post while it's also above your avatar, is silly.

    Farag... whoops ;) :holy: :D
