Ladies and Gentlemen,

We're seeing a lot of sigs that quote from the chat room. It's great that you all have a good time in there and that you want to sig something lovely or funny that someone said, but it is against our rules.

So enjoy your chats, keep the love alive, but don't post or sig anything from the chat room, please.

It seems part of my sig is missing. It wasn't from the chatroom, however. Did this just get bumped out of my sig somehow, or was it taken out for some reason?

what about if it's something completely made up, only made to look like it was said in chat?

No, you can't make stuff up and attribute it someone.

Can you cut me a break and stop asking ways to get around a pretty clear cut rule we've had in place for years?

That was to Nate. I should have quoted. I'm just very tired.

Good night.

Wait a second. Why can Kabol be paraphrased in your sig...but we can't have quotes in our own?

If I paraphrase Berto can I have my sig back?

Kabol is quoted in my sig. He wrote that exact line in a thread an open forum for anyone to read. Kabol is paraphrasing something an author wrote, not a forum member.

Sigs can only take up a specific amount of vertical space. Yours is too tall, so the bottom part is not displayed.

I don't see what was so difficult to understand about this in the first place. Don't post private conversations in the forums. Chat room qualifies as private conversation. The end!

But just so we're clear, Taylor IS a little lovebomb. And that's all right with me.

No, I think we're just supposed to let it go and find other things to put in our sigs.

I don't understand the reason for this rule, but I don't really care, so....it's an easy rule to follow.

I get the impression the rule is there so that members have a modicum of privacy on the forum. Everything else is public, so if you want to bitch about someone to someone else, the way you would in your own house, or if you have a particular problem that can't be discussed publicly, then you have private messages to do just that. If people were allowed to post PMs, then you can bet people like Ironman would disrespect everyone and just post whatever the hell they wanted. Not that I see why you'd send sensitive information to Ironman.

If the rule were, "You can post only PMs that don't contain sensitive info", you'd have people arguing endlessly over what constitutes "sensitive" info. This way, at least, private messages STAY private.

yeah, pretty much it is taking something someone said out of context. if it's not on the forum, nobody can see the post in full, so the intent is left to conjecture. we've had instances, which forced this rule into effect. when it comes to vindication and reprisal, taking a person's comments out of context to embarrass them on the board is a very easy way to get back at someone. that is why we dont allow it.

Every post I make is a direct quote of a PM that I've sent myself, because I'm a rebel.

He used to doctor my PMs in the chat room for controversies and tell women I called them fat sows and stuff! It was actually kinda funny though.

Hi Jingle33, you're in the wrong thread.

Why are noobz LIKE this? THIS kind of stuff is what makes the senior members give us so much crap! When you read the title of this thread what made you think people were interested in greeting you? In here? In a thread concerning not posting private messages in your signature?
