I can’t recall if it’s an Official Rule or not, but there’s at the very least a strongly worded suggestion in effect here that, if you have a Signature, you only post it once a page, or once a thread, so that it doesn’t annoy the everloving bleep out of other posters.
There are a couple of posters who *type *the same signature sign off with every post, so it’s not technically a Signature in the strictest sense. But, it’s basically the same thing, right? Loophole? One we’d like to consider closing, maybe?
(I know, I know, if this is the most pressing worry I’ve got today, it’s a good day. But it’s bugging my OCD tonight.)
Honestly, I am getting tired of James Otto Sweet Heart posting this kind of pointless shit over and over again. I am most annoyed by how she (he?) keeps on putting three emoticons in her posts.
shijinn prefers to read a post on its own merits, and a signoff forces shijinn to regard the poster with every post. this is doubly exasperating with one word posts or posters with verbs in their names.
God bless you always!!! :):)
It certainly changes my opinion of the poster. The political incorrectness of wishing the blessings of God on a group of strangers who may or may not share your beliefs is presumptuous and arrogant.
I just skim over the posts and treat them like speed bumps: annoying but not terribly difficult to deal with.
I hope you all don’t hate that I sign every post, because it is an ingrained habit at this point. I promise I will never do smilies on a regular basis.
