barronvangortoth's spammish signature + lame poll

[TomHimself]

i think its spammy and lame

[chuddo]

because as mat mentioned to me and as i stated it would be remedied if a number of other posters found it inappropriate.

i figured this to be the best way versus derailing an actual strategy thread. (the threads i posted in originally were random liveatthebike threads)

Fair enough, but I'm still curious why you didn't PM him and Mat and deal with it instead of coming here and making this idiot thread.

edit: i'm finding that sig you made up way funnier than i probably should, chuddo

[PoBoy321]

And if people take offense to it, let them contact Mat and complain, you don't need to start this poll, unless you, for some reason, have some personal grudge against BVT.

[Blarg]

LOL I almost made a Lexington Brian remark too, but held back.

[chuddo]

i have no personal grudge against him other than his spammy signature.

the fact i find his "on the edge" series of articles awful has no bearing on this stance.

i would feel the same way if it were someone such as el diabo, matt flynn, schneids, etc etc.

i did in two threads and barron did not address my posts at all. hence this thread and poll.

Love how you slipped that in there even though it was wholly unnecessary.

Signatures are pretty much universally lame. One can find reasons to have them in email (particularly for work), but on a message board? Seriously lame. I'm really surprised at the outcome of the poll. When I clicked "yes" I honestly expected to see an enourmous bar on the yes vote and virtually no no votes. Wow.

They're usually lame and you can usually pass over them too, by changing your preferences in the software.

The spammyness and lameness of the way Toth is doing it is because first, signatures are disabled in these forums, and second, he decided to make one anyway, and you can't avoid it.

The actual clutter it takes up is reasonably minimal, last I saw. I'm sure we've all seen signatures that were so huge that they were bigger than the the posts they were attached to. Even worse when they're incredibly stupid or dull. Toth's seem against the spirit of the forum rules, but basically inoffensive except for that.
