I got a forum ban because my sig was a few pixels too big. This guy's sig is a little, little big, and ive even PMed Twill about this a while ago, and nothing has happened.
A sig, that big?
gotta be kidding.

lol, lame reason to get a forum ban to start with if you ask me ^^

by **whitestazn88** on Sat Jul 26, 2008 3:55 pm

well... didn't you also get a forum ban for posting links to rick-rolls in your sig?

i'm not saying that its fair, but i suppose there is a certain degree to which things are bad.

but i'm also not saying that that sig isn't atrocious, because its really just an eyesore

Tom, are you talking about your latest ban here?
Or is this a reference to a previous ban?

The oversize signature has been reported and the moderation team are dealing with it.

im not even going to try to understand what you're talking about. No sleep + owen talking in code to cicero = wtf?

by **cicero** on Sat Jul 26, 2008 7:52 pm

lol - I know the feeling tom

I'll help you out with a translation ...

First two paras - the reason I asked my question again was because you answered it in a "cicero wrote" quote ... which made me think it wasn't an answer at all and just a mis-post. I see now that you are referring to a previous ban. Thanks!

Second para - Owen is not saying anything in code to me, he is pointing out that if you need moderator attention you should report a post using the "report post" link. Just posting in the forum about something that needs moderator attention doesn't work well (for at least a couple of reasons).

OK?

Sleep well

Tom, you got the ban because you completely ignored the request to change your sig, then you got another one because you rickrolled in it.

Gutshots has been contacted and is working on re-sizing the sig. If he refuses to change it, like you did, similar things will happen.

And for the record - ya don't need to make a thread in the GD to notify the mods. Just use the report link

Noted, being dealt with, moved to closed abuse reports.
