Signature

Hi there! Unfortunately, your signature violates the policy. Specifically, your image is too large. -- FreedomBound 13:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there too, please see this discussion over at GuildWiki regarding signatures that have an image instead of a name. http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/GuildWiki_talk:Sign_your_comments#Slight_image_width_policy_change_proposal I'd hate to make an eyesore-but-policy-safe signature just to get my point across. Thank you. -- 13:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Uh, I don't really care about what the other wiki's talking about, no offense. The policy here states that images have to be max 19x19 pixels. -- FreedomBound 13:55, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

This isn't a discussion about policies. Guildwiki has humans as users and GuildwarsWiki has too. It's about common sense. The policy is there so people don't choose huge, disruptive, animated signatures. Mine fulfills these criteria so I don't see any reason to change it just because a text says so when it's got additional images after the user-name in mind. Also, policies are not laws. They are guidelines that the users "should" follow, not unbendable, unbreakable laws that get you thrown into jail. Thanks. -- 14:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Signature images similar to your image have been discussed here previously, and rejected. There's a difference between policies and guidelines, but, as a simple user on this wiki, I've done my part, and let you know about the existing policy, so... Happy Editing! -- FreedomBound 14:32, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, and I take no offense in you telling me about the policy ^^ but unless someone finds my sig disruptive and brings forth a valid reason other than "the policy says so", I will not change it. I must fight for the "spirit of the law" - as that other user on the discussion page called it - there. Thanks. -- 14:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

If you want to propose a policy change, feel free to do so. Once that proposal is accepted, you can use that image- until then, stop using it. – Emmett 20:08, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

As Freedom said, guidelines and policies are not the same. Here policy is our law and guidelines are.... guidelines.
On the other news, i've moved your signature image here. Be sure to change it on your preferences, where you should create your signature. - J.P.Talk 16:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Agreeing with Freedom and J.P. Your signature is way too large. Please adbide by the policy , it would really help and not disrupt the lines of sentences, etc. as your signature is being disruptive. Thanks -- riyen ♥ 21:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't even know what you're talking about, my sig is exactly as large as JP's and just very slightly bigger than yours. But if you want to lose a contributor for no reason because you want to take away my identity and enforce the "letter of the law" by any means, that's fine with me, then I'll just stop making helpful edits here and you can do it yourself. It might seem trivial to an outsider but I never bow to rules that don't make any sense and this is a matter of principle for me, I do not let others restrict my freedom because of nonsense. If it was really disruptive or long I could understand, and if rules make sense I abide them, but not like this.... TakiFujiko21:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)you rather want this?!?

Actually, that sig would also violate the policy, as it is way too many characters. ETA: and, of course, violates several of the other parts of the policy (links, colors, sizing, etc.). -- FreedomBound 21:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

There was an attempt to change policy to allow images in sigs, but it was shot down for some very pathetic reasons. Everyone was all "But where will it end!? 10000x19?!" So don't tell Taki to try to suggest a policy change, because it's been tried before.-- anguard 21:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning Taki, but the policy is made not just (where did that word disappear?) to abide, but to 'reduce' disruptiveness. I just hope you'd be reasonable with your sig, not go against policies here. (had an edit conflict with Freedom) -- riyen ♥ 21:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

May i suggest just dropping the discussion? He already made his point clear in that he is not willing to follow a rule he considers dumb, and i think we made clear that on this wiki you don't get to pick which rules you follow.

If he considers that leaving is a better option than following "dumb" rules, so be it.--Fighterdoken 21:39, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be actually leaving, so Taki, please change your signature to conform with our policy, or you will lose your editing privileges. You are welcome to continue trying to change the policy, but until such time as it is actually changed, your signature needs to conform to it. Thank you. -- Wyn talk 17:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Saw your image below, still not conforming with policy, image is longer than 19x19.-- riyen ♥ 17:36, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

By the way;

Welcome to the wiki o_O-- anguard 00:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Heh, ty ^^ -- 00:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

GL fighting the man, Taki. ;) Here, you can haz userbox:

This user's sig is considered disruptive to talk page formatting! Yeah right.
