It seems 80% of the visual art forum is sigs?
>>> I guess pick a pencil and draw something is not very popular these days..
I don't really like the idea of showcasing signatures and classify it as art. Chances are that the images used are official artwork not created by the user who made the signatures. While, I guess there are a few signatures that look great, I just don't think they should be showcased.
Just my opinion. We need more actual artwork rather than signatures in Artist's Gallery.
I'd be for banning them.
High five! Oh wait, I'm dead to you aren't I?Quote:

Maybe restrict them to only pieces which do not use the works of others?
Well, it's more the SIZE of the threads than the number... And that was probably an exageration.
Why not just make one thread where everyone can show off their latest signature creations?
The mentality that people have seems to be, "Oh look! a thread with some copy and paste signature creations. I can make stuff like that. I'll make a thread for my "art" too!" x 100.
Edit: Something like this would obviously work.
I don't think signatures should go in the Art forum since I've yet to see even once signature that I would classify as "art".

Take that elitism to deviantART.
What isn't art?
Wait...
yea, I don't think we should really be making judgment calls on artistic worth here. then aain, I don't think we really need to pump the art forum full of signature threads either.
It has been our policy to make judgment calls when the art forum gets saturated with what is obviously garbage. So far it's only been regarding five-second MS Paint crap, but signature threads would certainly be eligible as well.
Fine, make it easier on everyone and only give black orb, sita atis, Dr Unne, and *angel tears* the ability to make threads in there.
Then the rest of us can "ooh" and "aww" as much as we want and grovel at their feet or something.
Sita still posts in there? Good times.
