Rule Reform: Abolish Perm Signature Violations

[Pain]

**How Signature Violations are handled:

• First Violation: Warning
• Second Violation: 2 Week Signature Disable
• Third Violation: 3 Month Signature Disable
• Fourth Violation: Permanent Disable

NOTE: Signature violations do NOT expire. Just because the infraction has expired, does not mean the warning has also expired. Signature Violations are PERMANENT.


I'd like to suggest we abolish the fact that signature violations are PERMANENT, I'd like to suggest that signature violations last (3) months then expire.


Why? I just got a 2nd signature violation by mistakenly putting my signature in my sig that I forgot was the bigger size of the 2, I've been told my sig will be disabled for 2 weeks now, guess when my last violation was? like EIGHT MONTHS AGO(8), I didn't even remember I had a signature violation.


I hate perm rules, I especially find this one particularly to be a dumb perm rule, I don't like it so I'd like to reform it to 3 months which I think is plenty long.

I mean think about it, if u mistakenly put a sig that's to big in ur sig and then 6 months later u do it again, u get slapped with a 2 week disable, really? This is almost as bad as the 1 month ban for plagiarism.


TlR= Signature Violations now last 3 months instead of remaining on ur profile PERM.

Out of curiosity, can you link signature rules thread?

It really isn't that difficult to keep your signature properly sized. I also don't believe I've ever seen anyone get their signature permanently disabled. The rule is basically pointless, so I guess I would be okay with removing it.

Yeh I support this, never had a signature violation personally but rules like that are pretty scary.

Appreciate that, I just have a problem when I had a missized signature 8 MONTHS ago and cas-M gave me a warning and I TOTALLY forgot about it and put another oversized sig in my sig 8 months later and got it disabled for 2 weeks.


I mean in another 8 months I might forget and do it again by mistake, perm sig violations are terrible lol.

I mean at this point I literally wasent even aware I still had a violation on my account.

 

No support, it's fine as it is right now and there really isn't a reason to change that except for leaving more room for violations.

What's the problem with letting them expire after 3 months?

Also I'm still waiting on that reversal- that was a legitimate market post.

The problem is simply you. People like you. It's so simple to count the pixels. You've been in trouble how many times yet still violate it? You know the right dimensions, you know they don't expire.

Yet you still choose to not follow some simple ass guidelines? Staff shouldn't need to babysit your sig and make sure its ok. After a few violations you should lose that right. No support at all.

 

Like I said, if users read the rules they shouldn't even have a single signature violation. 2 warnings before a perm disable is more than generous enough.

 

support, i think a permanent signature ban is kinda dumb and 'scary', don't see anything wrong with it expiring after x time

you're aware that your current sig is a huge violation as well right?

apparently text counts =p

& @str8 d a n k yours is too

i think they're cracking down on signatures, but only some mods seem to take action

 

@Roary made it and said it was okay i never looked at it again. meh ok I changed it. If anything he should be infracted thanks for the headsup

you're welcome, there are even mods/staff with violating signatures so yeah

Seems to me if you get a violation for a rule you didn't know about, you'd have to be pretty silly to break that rule again. That's just my 2 cents.

i understand what you're saying and that nobody would probably violate it enough to get perm disabled, but it's just one where you look at it and think 'woah permanent'

like when you look at some laws that are extremely outdated & /or weird and even though nobody violates them it's just still a bit like 'ok then'

Just FYI - text width isn't an issue as it pads on a smaller screen. It's images that are normally the issue, especially because they can start taking over a thread if they're too large.

Personally, I'm fairly lenient on the width guidelines unless it's obnoxious, it's the height that I Crack down on the most.

 

I block 90% of people's signatures anyway because they take up half my screen. It's not difficult to have a reasonable size...

That's the thing, my violation wasent ever major, it was 728x90 which is barely outside the limits, twice now this has happened I've mistakenly posted the 728x90 into my sig vs the 600x200 or whatever it is.

It's annoying as hell that 8 months later I accidently did it again and this occurred.

I even removed it within an hour of receiving the PM, no mercy shown, at all.


It was literally a minor slip up because I copied the wrong sig dimensions, and poof, their perm.

What If I do this again in a year? perm disabled? I mean really?

Nah you'll get a three month disable rofl. See what I mean? Nobody ever gets to the fourth so the rule doesn't really matter.

Stop being so negligent. The rule clearly states 650x350 and your next offense will result you in a 3 month ban, not a year. Please read the rules of Sythe,you still don't seem to know them even though you have broken 90% of them, and then proceed to bitch about getting in trouble.
