I'm bored

[Agent Proto]

So, I would like to ask a question which regards all or most staff members to answer.

If you spot a signature that violates the signature restrictions, how would take care of it?

Why am I asking this? Well, once I have my question answered by some of the staff, I'll give an explanation.

[Yamaneko]

I'd remove it and replace it with an explanation of why it was removed.

[Del Murder]

I...delete it! ...and then do what Yamaneko said.

[Agent Proto]

I suppose two's good.

Anyway, why did I asked?

Well, clearly, I personally think it's better to inform the violater by PM to change the signature asap, and if the signature hasn't been changed by the next day, it'll be removed and replaced. Well, not that it matters, but I find it helpful to be told rather than finding out, most often too late. Most of the time, the violaters will not know that their signature has been removed. By receiving a PM, the violater will acknowledge that their signature is in violation, and may change their sig. If not, it'll be removed anyway, but they'll know since they would be told about it. If they bring back their violating signature and was told, then they could possibly have their signature priviledge revoked temporarely.

*nod*

Not like any of you would follow this anyway. :shame:

[eestlinc]

i'd delete the legal ones as well.

[Agent Proto]

i'd delete the legal ones as well.

[Del Murder]

What is too late? I've found that most of them notice right away, anyway. I'll send a pm if they break the rule a second time, since I think pms should be reserved for repetitive violations. Here's how I do it:

First time: Change sig
Second time: Pm with warning
Third time: No sig for me!

Thanks for the feedback, citizen.

I PM them if I have to remove it twice. I shouldn't have to PM them the first time I see it to let them know, seeing as the signature guildlines are right next to where you make your sig. :rolleyes2

[Leeza]

The guidelines are clearly stated so a PM is not necessary. I do PM on occasion, but it's very rare. There are just too many people here that don't follow the guidelines and PMing and then keeping track of whether or not they have read the PM and have done something about the sig is something that is too time consuming.

I remove the sig and I always leave an explanation as to why it was removed. As far as that goes, this is just the same as a PM. If I see that it has been removed more than once I will say that as well. I have had to PM only a couple of people about their repeated sig violations and that is usually all it takes.

[Shlup]

Where did I put that image...? *looks*

Well, damn, I think it died. But, as Leeza said, you have plenty of warning with the restrictions being right next to the signature field. You want me to go out of my way to PM them, wait, check back, and then delete it? I don't get paid enough for that.

[Del Murder]

That 5% cost of living increase wasn't good enough?

I like the idea of PMing the members, especially if they have a sig with some hefty HTML code like tables and links, etc. If the member doesn't know much HTML it'd probably take them a while to code it back.

[Del Murder]

To solve that we could just comment out the sig rather than deleting it outright.

If they don't know what they're doing with the HTML, why do they have so much of it in the first place?
