My Sig Removed?

[diaglo]

if it makes you feel any better i lost part of my sig a little over a year ago too.

something about it being too political.

I noticed a "Mormonism: the Gathering" sig disappearing too. I don't remember who had it, but I saw it once, and found it quite funny -- but also totally out-of-place on ENW.

This kind of little incidents is quite frequent. Usually, it's nothing actually bad, but still misplaced -- and if they were allowed to run rampant, it would change ENW's ambiance dramatically, allowing for people to go always a little bit farther in controversial topics, until you reach the level where really offensive sigs/posts are made.

When you notice this kind of things, you understand better the load of work put on moderators' shoulders.

I recently removed an avatar that was an animated gif from a porn movie, too -- along with a bouncing booby sig pic. It happens, but it's not usually a big deal. Trying to be deliberately peverse and "beat" the system results in a lot more moderator annoyance than an innocent mistake or misunderstanding now and again.

Diaglo, we asked you to get rid of the peace flag? Huh, I'm surprised by that. I know that there were lots of other political flags and messages at the time that we were cracking down on, though, and it might have gotten caught in the crossfire.

yeah, i found it ironic at the time, since You sized it for me.

I distinctly remember a 'a simple flag is okay' policy.

We even let Tiefling keep his Iraqi flag, in fact.

Hm. That was for avatars, but I don't see why our standards for sigs should have been much different.

Does that mean I cant have a sig saying "Vote for me in 2032?" :-D

Can we have religious flame wars if we're just arguing over who's cooler: Shar or Mystra?

God I hope not.

Auril, of course.

Gez - I love your custom title.

So what is the policy on flags? I'd like to put 2 in my sig (both small about 40X28). Is that OK?
