Thread: No sig lines means no sig lines

To everyone who is concerned with this change .... The policy of doing away with sigs was not something that came out of the blue nor was it arbitrary with no good reasons. It was discussed at length and, as with the general membership, there was not unanimity on the policy. The majority of the moderators and developers were in agreement with doing away with the sigs and so be it. I was one of those who dissented in the beginning but by the time the discussion was over I had changed my mind and agree with the policy. It is not for me to get into all of the reasons but suffice to say that it was considered to be for the benefit of SRP to institute this policy.

Carr: "Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top... the top sheet on the bottom... and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one'll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I'm Carr, the floor walker. I'm responsible for order in here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in... "

Personally, I don't see what the fuss is all about. The only thing constant is change-some good, some bad. Since the powers that be opted to remove sig lines so be it. I don't think it's a bad change and it does not bother me at all. I found some sigs to be funny, some informative, some with helpful links to other areas of the forum, some were thought-provoking, and some ridiculously long and annoying, but that's just me.
