no names, but sir dragon drawer decided to abuse his administrator powers because he declared my previous signature (which he took down without my asking me) to be to distracting to him. He then changes the signature guidelines to include no spoiler tags in signatures because of this. He is respected here, and most of his locks of threads are hilarious, but this a low not needed. I usually do not care, but he did abuse his administrator powers this time around. Wanted to share

Yes, a signature change is a 'new low'

I think your standards for what is a new low hit a new low.

sequence of events:

1) receive complaints about signature containing spoiler tag.
2) PM the member to notify them that the spoiler tag will no longer be allowed in signatures.
3) receive response requesting that this be added to the rules.
4) added to the guidelines.
5) member still hasn't removed the signature.
(day 2)
6) member makes petty threats and claims the new rules has not been added to the guidelines yet.
7) signature edited.
8) member makes amusingly pointless thread in feedback forum.
9) cookies are still delicious.

btw, demonhood, you should have told me that people were complaining. all this would have been avoided if you told me that, I had the impression that you did this as a personal vendetta. It was always you you you in the PMs not "others have been complaining about your sig" anyways, if you want an apology dh then PM me or IM me

Duh, admins make and enforce the rules. Legislator, jury and virtual executioner. I think you need to learn to deal with it, Brassplayer.

Oh come on, if you're going to say who it is, by referencing the dragon drawing, you should at least have the common decency to call him by name. Seems kind of childish to go on a "I'm not mentioning any names but his initials are..."

As for the issue at hand, I think the whole signature hissey fit seems little immature.
