I personally like my signature, and currently is no rule against having a spoiler tag as your signature, but alas, someone is telling me that it is "distracting" them. So I have decided to let the community of MacNN decide. Do I keep my signature, or do I change it??

Yes, absurd. Brilliantly absurd.

I say keep it, but edit the message to be more in line with the unmitigated absurdity of the concept.

You can change the message on a regular basis. Like a textual jack-in-the-box. People will hate themselves for not being able to stop themselves from clicking it to see what it says

That's what's so infuriating about it. You have to always click it because you never know what it will hold/hide.

It's twice as funny if he sigs turned off and doesn't have to suffer it.

While there's no rule against a spoiler, there are still rules regarding width. Anyone else creating a sig that took up ~80% of the window would get screamed at.

and not by me either gossy. reason why there is now a new rule in the signature guidelines is because demonhood had to abuse his admin. powers and not allow me, or anyone else now, to be able to use it as their signature because he deemed it "to distracting"

You should make a thread in the feedback forum crying about this. The "OMG TEH MOD POWER ABUSE LOL!1!1" threads always turn golden.

Your sig was over 200 px wide. I imagine they don't allow quote boxes either.

there was no way to control the width that i could find. that's the default for the [/spoiler] tag [/spoiler] that dh made i guess.

on a happy note, my new signature is within all guidelines. new and old

Then you should understand that you can't use it then.

speaking of sigs, is your sig auto generated depending on what you've been listening to (eg, the image changes)

I don't think so, as the name of the sig includes "NN."

Young Jedi, your English teacher sucks.

Either "wittier, funnier" or "more witty, more funny", never "more *******er".
