Removing the use of actual spoiler tags from sigs now that the automated ones exist.

You can disable all bold and color in sigs from the UCP here : http://forum.mafiascum.net/ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=view This will only effect how you see sigs.

Also going to experiment with making this a global announcement for a few days whenever I add something.


You seem to be making one of those classic "feature/bug" confusions. This is clearly a bug. It must be a bug, since otherwise it's apparently a solution that you desperately tried to find a problem for and failed. Then decided to solve it anyway. There is no point to this, and instead of doing something useful to help the site, you wasted your time doing *this*.

Chloroform girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged and chained up in my basement

I mean, any problem that this could claim to solve already has a superior solution that had already been implemented.

When you click show on Oman's sig, the only thing that makes his post any longer is the goddamn button.

In post 192, zoraster wrote:No. It's not a "superior option" because signatures can actually have a use. For example, I quite like that IceGuy can advertise his game with a short little tag. I like that someone can put a one or two sentence quote at the bottom. A short sig actually helps break up posts a little bit in a good way when rereading a game thread.

But I don't need to read the same conversations over and over or a list of all their favorite movies or whatever. It encourages people to keep it short and sweet, which is exactly what it should be. And if you want to go longer, that's fine. You just have to accept that not everyone will be forced to read your signature.


And this approach covers up most of the sigs you want to keep on account of being stupidly short.

In post 250, chamber wrote:Firstly, I've always been open to tinkering with things bob, what I wasn't open to was your demand that I completely remove the feature until I had it exactly how you wanted.
Secondly, anis 'protest' is delt with by the new option I added that everyone seems to have missed. His sig seems perfectly reasonable to me atm. (though I'll likely have to change that so that I can see if it needs to be removed, sad days)
Thirdly, this idea was miths. I obviously chose all the specifics of implementation as I programed it but he oked the final product. As such I'm not at all likely to scrap the entire thing unless he explicitly told me to. I am open to the idea of either making it optional or only spoilering lines in excess of 4, as I already said.


It must be hard, trying to find problems for all your solutions.

How is mith solved by restricting sigs?
