I didn't put it back, I put a different one back. If the silly 24 one was the same as the 2 one, then if I said "Golly gee sorry guys!" and put it there only once it'd be the same, and I'd still be in the same wrong for putting it back.
And they weren't 49KB each, one was 49KB and the others were using that same 49KB of data.
Probably got too carried away with 24, though. But I'm sure I'd be in the same situation if I put 3. And there are pleny of people with 3 images in their sigs.
Let's all whine just a little bit more. Boo hoo, whine whine.
Oh, snap.

Yes, Kane, there are plenty of people who use three or more images in their sig and they're all judged the same way...all images together must be within the 50 kb limit.
How you could figure that putting up a 24 image sig would be okay after your two image sig was removed is baffling to me. It gives me the impression that your only purpose in doing so was to be a troll.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
I tried to explain how a two image sig should've been ok, but then the thread about Nicky was closed, and then I made a thread explaining it further, and that was closed, and then Doom made this thread and we pretty much proved it but noone's paying attention to that and just reiterating how horribly bad 24 images are.
This is trite and pointless. We're telling you now not to do it again. I'm sorry we stopped you from getting your message across since you obviously care what happens to the banned of EoFF.
Only Nicky.
So add the rule and give him his sig editing abilities back. His sig was perfectly legal. I know if someone deleted my sig and put in some text that said "No linking to TGA because Raistlin sucks" I would put it back.
Bad example, because Raistlin actually does suck.
"Yes, Kane, there are plenty of people who use three or more images in their sig and they're all judged the same way...all images together must be within the 50 kb limit."
They were. There was 49 KB of data or whatever the actual filesize is.
The space an image(s) takes up is measured by how much it takes for the image to load. All those images together took up less than 50kb of space.Originally Posted by Leeza
My ass doesn't say "kiss me" but I still encourage you to do so.
Whether he broke any signature rules or not, he broke the "don't be blatanly obnoxious" rule and was dealt with accordingly.
However, we have taken your suggestion into consideration and are currently discussing its merits verus the implications of actually putting in writing the sorts of "we can do whatever we want" disclaimers.
The ONLY thing that we're saying is that having two of the same image in your sig is not wrong on the basis of simple internet logic, and that Kane's sig of two of the "unban Nicky" images should not have been taken away in the first place. If I can get that out of one of you guys, I'll be happy - if only so I'll know that I won't get yelled at if I decide to do something similar.I, for one, am perfectly fine with Kane's sig being taken away on account of him being an ass for putting 24 of the same image in his sig to try and make a point.
I didn't care that he had two of the same image in his sig, personally, so I can't really go and defend it being removed except to say... there used to be a clause in the signature rules that said sigs could be removed if a staff member found them annoying. I know it was there because I put it there. It must've not been added back in after the vB 3 upgrade.
So suck an egg! You get nothing from me!
Every feedback thread is the staff complaining and getting defensive over small issues these days. Whatever happened to just calmly addressing the problem and working out some solution of some sort to prevent something from happening in the future?
The feedback forum was fun.
We wouldn't get defensive over small issues if you guys didn't bring them up every five minutes.
Thanks and have a nice day.
edit:
Every feedback thread for the last day and a half is a member complaining and getting defensive over small issues these days. Whatever happened to just not bitching and moaning about every small issue under the sun until all the good staff members quit to save their sanity and we're left with goons like RSL?
Quit yo' bitchin', sucka.
