You are totally getting a dead squirrel in your mailbox.
Anyways, I actually posted here for a point.
Was reading through the signature rules, and shouldn't there be guidelines about how many lines of text your sig can have?
Our old rules had about 3 lines max as a guideline, seems a reasonable amount.
Just wanted to know because a friend on the forums pointed out a signature that's pushing about 14 lines of text, counting spacing.
Also was wondering about the advertising rules (not the commercial advertisement), I really don't see why it is against the rules to advertise personal websites.
Conflicting forums or fansites, I can understand, but what about websites like the one that Atrumentis posted up a while back, advertising the shirts he was making?
Once more, our old rules pointed out that active members were free to post up links to their websites and whatnot, obviously this would need to be revised, such as one thread per advertisement to avoid spamming every forum section with advertisements, but I really think that active users should be free to post up their websites in the spam section.
Yay or nay?

I say advertising threads from Dfans, blogs from Dfans, and an item or two from a Battle.net account could be allowed on signatures, but other than that it's off limits.
For example, I have an Ethereal Beserker Axe socketed with the Breath of the Dying
Runeword that I no longer want. I could advertise that I have this axe for trade. That should be acceptable. Advertising a site that sells items for money would not be acceptable.

I'm all for users reporting signatures they find obnoxious rather than setting a specific rule for it. But, if people are more comfortable having something specific we can do that as well.
Thoughts?

On this one - I'm not as concerned about personal websites from users/links in an active user's sig. This is for competitive sites or users who make an account just to link to their site. Professional courtesy is the only requirement here. If someone ones to discuss a link exchange for their site, they need to run it by one of the admin's first.
Again - I don't like when rules are so specific they feel restrictive and people can operate on a fairly common-sense basis. But we have the nets in place and if posts get reported we can handle them on a case by case basis. But, if the community as a whole is more comfortable with having more specific rules we can address that.
hmm
so making a account only to advertise about their hamachi networks is not ok?
i mean the person i am talking about has only posts in one thread and they total in the 70s
i know he has been warned multiple times before about not advertising
Yeah I know who you're talking about, and it is questionable, but also not really a competitive site. Again, I'll ask for people to just report users and we'll take it on a case by case basis
I'm surprised that Zhar has no infractions at all, because he's kinda crazy...:cool:
on topic, i'm glad i don't have any. I was looking for the little counter too.
I'M NOT FUCKING CRAZY.

Again... it would have to be specified that the section was for active users only.
Possibly you'd have to have over 100 posts to make use of it?
i know of one incident where he keeps on advertising when he has it in his long signature already
For example, I have an Ethereal Beserker Axe socketed with the Breath of the Dying
Runeword that I no longer want. I could advertise that I have this axe for trade. That should be acceptable. Advertising a site that sells items for money would not be acceptable.
You could even use the new Trading Forum, :).

Also, the trading forum isn't going to see much activity until the new patch comes out, which feels like forever.

;). And well, if ti's used, it's used. I've seen several requests for it, and we didn't think it could hurt.
