Upcoming change in how signatures work.

Toma RNK · 06-27-2010, 08:21 PM

In an effort to do away with the new spambot tactic of putting spam in their signatures the following change in rules will be implemented some time in the next 2 weeks.

New accounts will not be able to use signatures at all until ONE of the following conditions are met.

5 posts (that count towards post count)
10 Reputation Points
30 days since account was made

If ANY of those conditions are met, you will be able to have a signature.

The forums will check these conditions hourly, so once you get the requirements, wait an hour before posting that it doesn't work.

Here is the part that affects most of you.

For the next week, the system will be checking and granting powers BEFORE we remove the ability from basic users. So log your account in, and then browse for a bit so the system checks you.

If you don't log in before this change goes down, you could lose your siggy temporarily, and I know a lot of you wouldn't want that.

EDIT:
Current number of accounts granted siggy powers: 1,161

Thanks for the heads up!

I don't understand what you mean about it having to do with us.

Seven · 06-27-2010, 08:25 PM

Wait so i lose my siggy for not having rep power of 10?

Hidden Ninja45 · 06-27-2010, 08:25 PM

Log in for a few minutes everyday for the next week or so? That should be easy enough. This shouldn't be a big deal for regular users that log in everyday.

I swear to god, I don't know why I post stuff like this when 60% of the posts show that no matter what I type, people cannot understand what they read.

No, I think he means 10 rep points.

You make everything sound so hard, when it is so easy. If you post more simple then you wouldn't get this. xD

When I post in few words, everyone misunderstands.
When I explain, people are incapable of reading.

I think my new policy is to just not mention changes.

That's a surprisingly small number considering this site has 20,720 members. Then again, only just above a tenth of that number is actually active. Still, it's a small amount even considering the active members.

They need to log in to be checked. The system has only been looking for less than 24 hours.

Jonesy · 06-27-2010, 08:35 PM

It's not that hard. If you get 5 posts, you get a sig. OR you can get 10 rep points. OR you can wait 30 days. 5 posts is probably the easiest, but that's just for new accounts! If you're a current member and you don't sign in before this takes action your sig may go bye bye for a little. Some of you need to click on the "How not to make a fool of yourself on forums." link in Toma's sig. >.>

Maikeru D. Shinigami · 06-27-2010, 08:35 PM

I can read this and comprehend it as clear as day.

Rep points, not power. Correction was already made about twice in this thread.

Exactly, no new member will notice, no old member will complain, nice way to go.
When you explain, it is like... Micheal Jackson, rapping..

Jonesy · 06-27-2010, 08:39 PM

I changed it to points and your welcome Toma. :P

Reikai Hezamu · 06-27-2010, 08:39 PM

Not very hard to comprehend if you ask me. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that out of those 854 accounts granted siggy powers, I'm one of them. Thanks for the info Toma.
