DeepBlue Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 recently , when I surf the site and read thru many postings, I found that guys are generally great in exchanging ideas and knowledge. What concerns me is the abuse of signatures at the bottom of each post. Some people had such a long list of info, big photos, BIGGER fonts........ I understand the need for individualism and personalising your posts that is uniquely yours....but I guess some people are really over doing it. Maybe we can look at the posting rules in SRC again if we have forgotten. There is a size spec. for you to adhere to. DO check it out Hope this post can help some of us to relook at our sig. again.... beginning hobbyists loves more info to help them gain greater knowledge in the hobby, able to look at 2 to 3 post a page due to most of the space taken up by unnecessary and 'loud' sig can turn pple off.....do reconsider. Thanks DeepBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member cityofangels Posted September 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 23, 2005 I totally agree with Deepblue. Often, when you scroll down a page, a huge ton of scrolling is done, simply to avoid HUGE, loud & totally unnecessary signatures. It's very frustrating for people who simply use these forums to read up on information which THEY NEED. I hope people will reconsider revising their signatures.

SRC Member cityofangels Posted December 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2005 Ok, I'm reviving this thread again because I realise that alot of members still have huge signatures! Some people have used big pictures as part of their signatures. These types of signatures are taking up more space, than the actual comments in the threads. If there isn't any way to stop people from using these unnecessary signatures, how about just allowing 1-2 line sentences or links as signatures, instead of pics?

Achilles Tang Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I agree. It's getting out of hand. Please adjust to make other people's viewing not so torturous before I make it a formal request. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
