*fed up of scrolling through more signature than post material* Poor wheel on mouse is dying.

I think there should be a rule that we should only include our signature in a post if the post material is longer than the signature (in number of lines).

LOL, I hardly ever use my sig. Well I do, but quite often I don't. The only time I always do is if i've created a new topic... (Purposly switches it off)

Or we can do it the same way we do it in the W&W forum. Only use your signature once per thread. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice one! Obviously people like you would have no problem with this rule:

Also (not exactly sure how the forum software works) but if the sigs are not inserted into every post then we save hard-disk space so in the long run Ziroc saves money [img]smile.gif[/img]

So you'd complain if I had one line and a two line sig? Most people who have large siggy's post them once within a topic, and don't for the rest of that convo. Those who don't, are being inconsiderate to everyone else who has a slower connection.

Only now did I realize you can turn it off. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

How perceptive Timber. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

I just realized that Vaskez wants this rule since it will make it easier for him to spam. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously though, 1 sig/thread isn´t all that bad. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice one dear Uncle. :D
The 'once per thread' rule has been proposed before, especially when some newer members went rampant with huge sigs posted multiple times in the same thread. I heard about the W&W forum like Willow mentioned, and I think the Roleplaying forum has a similar tradition.
I do forget to turn mine of sometimes after I've already posted it in a thread, so you're right to remind us. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Right and Willow likes 1 sig/thread cos it leaves more room on Ziroc's hard disk for her smartass comments :D

Yeah personally I'm not too worried about multiple sigs per thread as long as the sig is shorter than the actual post cos otherwise it's just stupid. I mean some of our threads go into multiple pages so no one will mind if you have your sig more than once in that thread, say once a page or something.

I'm going to buck the trend and be the first that's brave enough to post *with* their sig in this thread. ;)

Plus, I find it easier to keep track of who's posting and who's not. *shrugs* Wouldn't object too much to it being implemented. [img]smile.gif[/img]
