    In a perfect world yes but the site is so big it's not possible to enforce unless it's done by a script. There used to be a script afair. Dunno why they stopped using it.

    The main problem here is that it has been said that the odd k or so over the 20k limit isn't that big a deal. Yet rb's was 1k over and was deleted. Of course he has a right to feel aggrieved if the powers that be have stated that .

    It's pretty obvious that rb was singled out to be fair even if it won't be admitted.

    Gordon pretty much did and gave a good reason for it.

    If rb had said in a polite and claim manor that actually the signature was made by 6th and he wasn't taking the piss and that he would appreciate if a little latitude could be show, I'm sure gordon would have let him use the image in question. However instead of that he went on a fuk you rant about how he should be allowed bend the rules as if the breaks extended to one user automatically extend to ever user. Bull like that is the reason we have rules which are set in stone which moderators won't bend, even when appropriate to do so, for fear of the next guy to come along.

    It's always been said that if someone doesn't act the muppet, then the rules will not be rigidly applied, or words to that effect. This applies on a sitewide basis, not just in relation to sigs.

    I find the very sight of Britney boy annoying, so adblocked both the sig and avatar ages ago.

    The attitude expressed by the poster in question from day one was IMO ridiculous, and over zealous in the extreme.

    Calling people who dedicate their time to maintaining the soapbox rb stands on bastards, and telling them to go fuck themselves is something I take personal offence to.

    Even if you don't mean it, and are trolling (despite your ongoing claim that you don't troll anymore-which is frankly rubbish), I think you should be the bigger man and withdraw your comments rb.

    Certainly am not withdrawing any comments.

    One look at my profile (which he would have had to do) shows I've a current infraction for sig violation and a warning from Hulla that if I go OTT with the sigs again I'll be sitebanned, therefore decreasing the chances that I was "acting up" even further. Add to that the fact that I pointed out in the signature that it was created by 6th and I think one (of a rational mind) can come to the conclusion that I didn't put it there to "take the píss" by being 1kb over.

    I'm maintaining my point of view that it was petty trolling on his behalf. I very much doubt it would have even happened had the text of the image not had "Leave Rb_ies sigs alone" written on it.

    Roundy: Please do point out an example of me trolling outside the Thunderdome, I'd love to see it. Anyway, this probably isn't the best place to discuss others behaviour, you can pm me if you like and we can discuss my "trolling" and your change in behaviour over the last year or so.


    Xavi: It'll never be admitted, couldn't have an smod admitting to such a thing in public now could we?

    Thats not my point. My point is that because you have a history of sig violations Gordon was being a stickler and was going by the guidelines exactly. You might see it as trollish, and its a fair point but I think Gordon was just enforcing the rules 100% because of your history with violations. :)

    :)

    Obviously there are some persistant sig violaters in this thread that feel aggrieved by the rules. If anyone wants consistancy then don't go crying about userX not having his sig removed if you haven't reported the sig.

    This is the SIGPO notify thread btw, rb_ie and Xavi6 - if you want to discuss the sigrules - take it to the thread on Feedback that deals with this. Stop littering this thread.

    I'm no fan of rb_ie but I find this completely ridiculous. Who cares if he has a history of signature violations, 1kb over the limit is insignificant enough to grant anyone the benefit of the doubt. It looked within the limit, and almost was - someone would have go go right clicking to determine it's ever-so-slightly out of bounds size, it's not exactly as if it was a glaring eyesore.

    Poor show to be honest in a thin guise of being about 'rules'..there always had been leeway and it's generally been somewhat more generous then under 1kb.

    They'll never admit to picking on you rb_ie, just accept it. ;)

    Nice of you to name the two people who disagree with you and not Sully, Roundymooney and Boston who backed you up.

    Look it was a petty thing to do and we all know it. That's the last I'll say.

    This is for enforcing the sigrules, not arguing against them.

    rb_ie has constantly flaunted the rules, and even on this thread, I've explained my position already on this thread concerning his past flaunts. If you are going to break the sig rules don't wave it about in everyone's faces on this thread, if he didn't do that then I probably wouldn't have noticed. kthxbye

    Well in fairness to rb, he has looked to take the discussion off thread, so you've only asked him to do what he already said he wanted to do.

    To be fair, myself and the other lads backed up Gordon because we can see why he did it and understand why. He has no reason to quote our posts, but he had reason to quote yours and the other lad because he was trying to explain to those who dont understand. We understand him, so he wouldn't bother quoting us!

    Its not because someone is picking on rb_ie. He has continuously ignored the signature rules so it was decided that if he continues, no matter how minor, the signature will be removed. If it was any normal user who doesnt keep violating the rules he would have been waved on and nothing said. Its continuous offenders who couldn't give a ****e who wont be given any leeway.

    Regardless, we have all gone off-topic so lets swing it back onto SIGPO reports. Complaints can go to the root Feedback or Help Desk. :)

    TBH, from an my point of view it looked like you were trolling adding a sig 1kb over. Maybe 6th was winding you up. Maybe you and 6th were winding us all up...

    I can think of a thread in AH about baby nappy changing straight away.





    Apologies for the off-topicness.

    Registered Users Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    rb_ie and 6th join forces? Scarey ... oh wait ... I'm 6th!

    Anyway I made the sig and when I uploaded it it was 1kb over (but under the 300x125 dimensions). I chose not to fix it as it was only 1kb, maybe I was lazy or maybe I just thought "whats 1kb?".

    Anyway apologies to rb, neither he nore myself set out to piss anyone off but I do think this wouldnt have gotten have the press it did if it hadnt been rb.

    im intererested in these subjects of image sizes rules as i read it on the first page
    For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.
    which i understand.So is it when you click on the properties of the members image sig will show how big im i right?
    Do the subscribed members get more than 20k ?
    20k is 2000 bytes?

    20 kilobytes is 20*1024=20480 bytes or 20,000 bytes depending on who you talk to.

    Oh and while I'm on the taddletale thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=38032

    Being nasty? You asked if we were 'messing you around'? Your post is incoherent and hard to read. Do you think there's a signature conspiracy afoot, or something?
