Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
I don't like the fact that we still have the god damn Matrix and LOTR smileys.
All but :Gandalf: should be deleted.

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
Colours in signatures are gay* and should be removed**.
* Should this be changed to 'heterosexual' now that we have a large gay population on the forums?
** I'm not implying that all gay things should be removed, just the colours.

Leshy's a big fat fascist. Look everyone, it's a fascist. Let's all point at him and his gay/hue bashing ways.

It's not that bad JC, it just brings some festive colours into an otherwise dull board

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
Hey, would it be a cool idea if from now on I divided
my post into three sentences or parts, and then
colour them so that our national flag is displayed?

Ban colour and centralised signatures.
Also - allowed the [img] tag to be used!

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
Stew makes some good points.
-Disable colours
-Allow Images (This would require a few new moderators to keep the abuse in check)
-Disable colours, please

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
I know IMG tags won't be implemented, it's one of those things that could make the forums better, but would only be abused here on GD, shame really
I don't like colours, but I'll rather try using them until it becomes so annoying that they're disabled, then i won't have to see Ragnarak's horrible sig ever again

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
It'd only be abused by people like you though. Make it so you need to have an account for a year before you can use it.
An actual incentive not to be banned.

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
To be honest, I've always been a fan of image tags myself as well. Moderation is imo fairly active on the forums (especially GD) so any goat-you-know-what links or similar ones wouldn't remain for long.
I reckon it'd only lead to the use of comical forum images, photoshoppery stuff and sorts, rather than mass image abuse.

Re: Bitching about the forums thread for January 14th 2004
I think the bigger problem is bandwidth and the fact the forums would take forever to load for those on 56k connections.
*shrugs*
I'm no techie i just mod stuff.

It depends on the hours you're on; in the night shift, there's bugger all activity from the moderating team.

Likely there's very little users on at the time who would be thoroughly offended by any inappropriate links either, so it's not an immediate top issue.

And it's not like the user base hasn't been asking for them for years, and you guys have just been saying no on principle. You've never given them a chance!

they did turn them on a while back as a test
