Count Signatures As Spam?

If you hang out at The Flood, you know what I mean. Recently everyone has been sporting a signature, not the one in your profile, but under every post, commonly being "yorkie". Now as this is a very small problem, it's starting to get annoying and will most likely get out of hand. Thoughts?

  • I think signatures make the post more personal, like you approve of your post and back it up, ya know what I'm sayin? ~jay~

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shellhead I find signatures annoying but counting them as spam is a little over the top. Apart from meme sigs example: *throws kitten* that's a spamtrocity. [/quote]What? I don't understand what you're getting at. *nibbles kitten* yorkie ~K2

  • To be fair, a simple signature with abbrevations or parenthesis of some sort couldn't hurt. However if the signature is getting out of hand, like a message or a threat; simple report it if it considered as a violations of the rules. I don't take the signature seriously, but in cases of acknowledge to know someone, slightly better.

You know, the Elcor one and talking in third person speech? Crazy. I loved it. If signatures counted as spam... wouldn't that too then? Technically you're signing your post 20 times. Mildly: Burrito would not be pleased.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] burritosenior [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Nedus Don't turn this into a whinefest about that stupid thread. It was locked because it was a get. Which is spam. Stay on topic.[/quote]get- A word used to identify a post with a certain number that marks a milestone on a forum. By that logic, any post with any number that could be considered significant by anyone should now be locked without question. It's not 'spam' to choose to withhold a post. That's ridiculous if that's your reasoning. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Midnight Hawk2 You get famous that way.[/quote] Eh. I've only come across two people who ever had a legitimate reason for it. One, I believe, was B.B. (RIP). I forget the other. But that 'famous' thing is probably the reason everybody else does it. So people begin to notice them. Honestly it's a bit annoying to me. But bannable or anything? I don't know about that.[/quote] i do it for everything tho. facebook, emails, notes to myself, everything that i write or type or go has yorkie some where just so people know that i was there or that i really did that yorkie
