Post #9 in this thread made it fairly clear, to me at least, that adding clutter to the page was the issue being addressed. Some one asked if this was a storage issue, and the answer to that was no. Then there was a reference to the 50% decrease in space when scrolling in threads after the new policy (see post 18). It almost takes willful disregard for the explanations given to not see that point.

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I'll be totally honest: I think the removal of sig lines was a really good move. There were a few that bothered me immensely, to the point of ignoring those posters.
So thank you, mods, for doing what you consider best, whatever the reason.

It is much better without the sig lines.
Totally agree.

I know what goes on behind the scenes with the hardware/Software and the Mods and Admins (in general on a forum). I am no killing the messenger just providing my opinion.
That is a function of the software. Maybe they should reduce the size of the photographs published instead. As we all know, text takes up bits, photographs utilizes bytes, usually in the thousands.
What you forget it that this is my house too. Without the members what would they have?
Dylan, if we all go someplace else, what is left? When the Admins and the Mods stop listening, time to go.
Also, you cannot post as a member since your a mod. That is like saying I'm talking like a civilian. Does not happen.
I'll say this again, you cannot moderate a forum with software. If there is an issue, fix it. I can assure you it is easier to click on a members sig and remove it with the mod tools, than change the server software.
If you want to save space, try doing something like this:
"This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768."
That is all.Last edited by Mvcrash; 07-30-2011 at 10:46 AM.

But that's what I'm saying. Everyone isn't gone all of a sudden. Just instead of posting about razors or hones or whatever, there are posts about the new no sig policy. Not to mention people are listening. There has already been mention by Bruno about revising the no sig policy to possibly include one line sigs. That would be a compromise between what members are requesting and the less clutter goal.
And of course I can speak as a member and not a mod. I may fill some administrative roles, but I do not fill them all or even play a part in them all. Trust me, my part on SRP is much more like yours than you may think. I haven't served in the military or for the public, but isn't that exactly what "permission to speak freely" means?
