So.... what is the word on the new signature restrictions/rules?

[James]

1 Question and only 1 Questions

What are the signature rules?

Rule 1: don't talk about signatures
Rule 2: refer to rule 1

 

[Adam Howard]

Yeah, they're just going to delete your account instead

Less paperwork

 

[Liam W]

Oh, there it went. Back now though

 

[Mike]

Sigs have been removed. Rules are basically 3 lines, 225 printable characters and limited formatting. Max of 5 smileys as well.

You had to go and spoil that lovely clean fresh look *tuts*

Hey wait, all signatures are gone except mine?

It probably has to run through them sequentially. I'm 90% sure that signatures are stored with your user record, and doing commands like that on thousands of users at once will turn out badly. Batch process by 500 makes it work and all that fun stuff.

Thanks for letting us know

Now, when will this thread be locked?

Your signature bravely struggled to die, but at last, it kicked the bucket.

On a side note, I actually did the purge through the batch user update system in the control panel. Took longer than a straight query obviously, but it handles whatever cache updates are needed too.

Interesting...

That was fun.. look at how the community pulled together to support the people who couldn't handle the panic... we should purge things more often.. can we purge some members next?

Didn't we mostly just pull together to make fun of those people?

 

[Mike Edge]

(How many are there?)
