    The feedback forum was fun.

    [qq=Raistlin]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.[/qq]

    You will get yelled at regardless. The question is to what extent. In fact you can consider this very post as myself yelling at yourself.

    Other than that, this thread is dumb. I take that back: INCLUDING that, this thread is dumb.

    This is why you need to put the UYFB rule in writing.

    I'd like to point out that Kane's defense of how bandwidth was not taken is the exact same "excuse" cl_out used for the longest time to have his sig appearing normally (the animated gifs he has now) and a mirrored version of it below, totalling by his own count 32k, but 64 according to the "filesize limit" thing you used. And honestly, I think cl_out and Doom are right (or I wouldn't have made that user note made of and :alien: ).

    Editing Kane's sig was right, but was done for/justified by the wrong reasons. A bit like WMDs in Iraq and removing Saddam, if you want a comparison.

    And then there is Death

    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. - Raistlin

    The only thing that you'll get out of me is a Thank you for teaching me something about cache that I did not know before. However, his sig was rightfully removed by the standards that we use now and also by the part of the sig limit restrictions that was inadvertantly left out with the change to EoFF...the part about a Mod being able to remove whatever sig for whatever annoying reason. So, if you did anything similar yourself, you will still get yelled at.

    Anyways, thank you for giving me a cache lesson. I'm sure I'll find some use for it sometime in the future.

    Outta curiosity...

    Kane, did you put your sig back up after you were told not to use it? Because really, that's all that matters with regards to the ban. I can't be bothered reading this whole thread, so sorry if that's already been answered.

    Also, "simple internet logic" is an oxymoron and therefore should never be used in an argument.

    Also, I can set my IE cache to 1MB, so Kane was wrong when he said there is no normal way to do so. Maybe he's using a different version, but I just checked my settings and dragged the bar to the left and it went all the way down to 1MB. So if everyone is going to use "internet logic" then whoever bought that up originally is right. But to be honest, I never cared about that argument anyway, but I just felt like making sure people weren't misinformed by Kane.

    I said there is no normal way to set it less than 1MB, or to set it so there's no cache at all, and when Doom and I did that it still cached and displayed a 1.7mb image 80 times without having to redownload it each time.
    And I was only told it was too big, not to not use it outright, so I put it back and made perfectly sure it wasn't too big. :-x

    I'm not trying to pour gas on any fires here, I'm just responding to the question.

    I told her I wont unban her until I see some "Unban Calliope!" signatures.
    I'd think she'd get ten times the signature following as that whats-his-name.
    Granted, I don't think the "unban [banned username]" signature is funny, but that's me. I did it once (with my custom title, not the sig =P) when HOORJ was banned since it was all in good fun. As well as because I thought HOORJ was an funny member and all.

    That about the only case where the staff complained that I saw. I'm not really on here enough to notice anything else.

    Every forum have unwritten rules that should be understood by everyone. Having an annoying signature being "against" the rules of signature is one of them.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
