Is adding names and other such text at the end of posts (as S.T.A.R.S-Legacy does) a violation of policy?

I say yes, citing....

Adding garbage to posts: This would include unecessary elements or extra characters or statements to increase post length. Something you want in every post belongs in your SIGNATURE, and using post space to store extra stuff is considered spam.

Please stop adding additional text to your posts. You have a signature for something you wish to add to every post. Adding something to end of every post is considered spam and increases post length and thus minerals unfairly. Also, it cheats out the restrictions on signature length.


Your.....joking. Moose i dont mean to be disrespectful nor uncoporative but that is unjust. Its a few letters i dont see what harm it could do. Moogle also signs his and i believe a select other few do. Its customary of me and i do it on all forums i participate in.

Further i refuse this...unreasonable request. Warn and fine me if you wish but i see you as an unfair party here.

If you wish to discuss this at length id be happy to.

Moose,
your acting like my sole purpose of signing my posts is to cheat rules and piss you off. It isnt. Theres no 'garbage' or anything of that sort. Its simply a manner in wich i post. Its as simple as having a diffrent style of writing.

I see no reason to argue over 1 line break and lets see.....1...2...3...4...5...6..7! Oh my god a line break and 7 characters. Wow im contributing to so much waste and signature stretching that i should really take this into consideration.

Now wait that was a bit sarcastic of me. Oh excuse my thinking out loud is that a waste too moose? I think making this go back and fourth over this is rediculose and a waste of my inbox space and yours too.

I need no justification because i am doing nothing wrong. I personally think your being a tight ass because of something i did although i cant recall what it might be at the moment seeing as how i havent gotten warned once or been on the verge of it. But now thanks to a customary little forum signing of my posts i probobly will get it.

Thanks Moose, what would SEN do with out your percistence?

Moose you seem to miss the point of signing a post. It isnt like a signature, i put my sig in to be flashy and show off my buddys photoshop skillz.

I sign my posts because that is how i believe it should be done. Its a matter of custom and forum etiquette. A matter of politeness if you will.

Some people belive in not using virus protection and dumping their comp every 1-2 weeks. Some like to hold on to it for as long as possible. Its just how they would have things done with their PC. I do not own nor have a say in how this forum is run but i will post in a fitting manner. And this fitting manner is very adherent to the rules minus my signing.

And minerals? Worthless net money that i cant use for much? You think i care if my name and title glows? Or if i want to play 'Magic' Boxes? Come off it. They arent worth an arguement and we both know that. Why dont you just take what ever minerals i get Moose because i have no use for them.

I really don't care if they just sign a name. I just don't like it when they sign some quote.

If you are asking about unnecessary elements, then that's a matter of opinion.

But then again a signature is named a signature for a reason.

IMO if you're just putting your name, I believe it's fine. However if you're adding other stuff like quotes or something, then yes you could be punished.
