Okay!

Bush is ugly and has a stupid face and a smelly butt and his face is his butt.

I'm really sorry. I didn't realize how many people took it seriously. :unsure:

Politics affects everything in the world and that includes Handheld gaming. Political opinions should be encouraged, and not discouraged.

As long as it is not racist etc, then why ban it? Why do you read the signatures anyway? Why not just ignore them? And if you have your monitor in a decent enough resolution sigs like GPJosh's arnt that space consuming anyway. Its not hurting so just ignore it if you dont like it.

If you don't want to view signatures, just turn them off. There's an option in the My Controls link. I've personally not seen anyones signature for months now 'cos I got sick of all the huge pointless animated gifs.

Don't you hate it when someone stops a nice little arguement with some simple logic...

Just did it. I did not even know of that option

You know what, some people actually have some interesting, non-offensive, non-political stuff in their signatures. Why should I turn off signature vieweing because people have to mess it up with crap bashing political leaders. You wanna do that, go to totse.com, they'll love you for it. And I believe BOTG's line in his signature is a from movie anyways. Stuff that's made up, not like he's out there trying to make sure everybody know that and thet he'd actually do such a thing.

 

[GPJosh]

Yes, thank you Woogal.

 

[thecheat]

Your right there. I often find myself finding things on the internet through links in sigs that i subconsciously remembered were there.

I always forget to bookmark the Genesis and Snes compatibility list page, and so when i need it i just find a post by Rico and voila!

 

[NssOne]

You know what, I could live with text more than I could live with a 30 second animated gif on why some guy hates Bush. Maybe people should just link to stuff like that instead?

Guys, there is an option in MY CONTROLS section to switch the signatures off. So if you dont like it - just switch viewing them off. Regarding big animated images - i agree with NssOne. Just let me know about big images and i will talk with their owners and if it doesnt help i will edit and remove those signatures myself.
Reagarding 'political' signatures. I and other X-Team members cant tell people what they can or cant post in their signatures. There are some subject which wont be tolerated at all (you know usual stuff: porn, tasteless etc). But signatures are expression of their owners. They can be stupid or wise, can be fun or not etc, but i cant force people to do it by my way. It's their own will. We are from all around the world. We have members from so many countries - and the same signature which is annoying for someone can be funny for other poeple. For me as for a guy from Poland, mentioned signature is just funny. For someone else it is annoying. But we cant force poeple to change them because we dont like them. If i for example post in my signature portret of Poland's president and write below : Piece of shit would it be offensive for you ? I bet not. Most of you probably even dont know where exactly Poland is ) So gettin to the point. I agree that this is gaming related forum - but if someone likes post in his signature some wise quotes from biblie, let it be. Other want to post some anime images - and that is also ok. Of course i will send an email to GPJosh to remove his animated gif - but not from the 'political' reason but only because its big (260kb) and we dont like big images )
UPDATE: he's already removed it.

My english is not so good to let me express what i really wanted but i hope you will understand what i wanted to say and agree to my point of view.

 

[damaki]

Come on guys this goodsense topic is turning into a nonsense flamewar. I think we should ask moderators and admins what they want.

[edit:] useless addendum, this part serves better what I wanted to say

 

[thecheat]

well done well said
and i DO know where poland is... its... right... um... well whatever :lol:

 

[damaki]

Hope it will put an end to this sudden crazyness.

I am not after BOTG and I don't want his signature removed either but (for arguements sake):

It doesn't matter where it's from, it's political and could be offensive to many people. I think I can put a million movie or book quotes in my signature and you would still be offended if they where aimed at Bush/Kennedy or another political leader you would not want me to ridicule.
Point is: it's either politics or no politics. If you truly don't want political standpoints on the forums because you are afraid it might upset people you should be very carefull about what can and can't be posted here and should be very openminded about what might be offensive.

Only after Hando explains where Poland is.
