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

[jadmperry]

All signatures are being deleted - the table will be truncated in T minus 41 hours and 30 minutes.

Brogan,

I am thinking about every sale and discount ever and am thinking that this is not enough to alert people. How will I know what GMT means in my time zone. What if I miss the timeline? Can I have a discount? Also, reading your post, it seems to me like I should always have another 41 and a half hours to save my sig. I also don't know how many days this would be (especially in my time zone). Also, can I have a discount?

I'm offering a 65% discount on dental checkups. Check out my site for details and how to gain this too good to be true offer out.

Is there any criterion defined anywhere?

Hasn't been released yet. Looks like it may be something we find out for ourselves on Friday.

@Sheldon, @Micah Impulse:
Its under Style Properties -> Message Elements -> Signature. Specifically, the top border element.

Ah okay thanks King and thank you as well @Sheldon

The new guidelines will be announced, rather then left to guesswork.
I believe you already posted something similar to what they will be: a few lines, no font manipulation, no images.

Time until Friday, 7 June 2013, 17:00:00 (London time)

All signatures will be removed this Friday at 5 PM GMT and tighter signature restrictions will be implemented. If you wish to keep the current data from your signature, please back it up before then.

I know the weather hasn't been great recently, but I do believe we are in British Summer Time.

 

[Walter]

Also, can I have a discount?

I will copy your signature to the clipboard for $89.
Because you are a good member of the forum I will give you a discount of 20%, no 30%!!!

Very early afternoon for you -- a couple stiff drinks with your lunch should gird you for its demise

For those of you who haven't noticed, the signature separator line is now a slightly darker colour.

Hopefully something along the lines of:

• No images
• No greater than 3 lines
• No rainbow fonts

No advertising anything other than a XF powered forum would realistically be acceptable as well IMO.

Links are nofollow this shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think that's a good idea. Licensed customers with web hosting businesses and service-related websites will want to link to their sites to get more sales.

Signatures aren't even displayed to guests.

You can click "Watch Thread" top right to do that, it isn't necessary to post in the thread.

When you say GMT, do you mean BST?

 

[dieketzer]

i dont bother with rules. instead they have their sig limited to is own little div at 40% opacity. make it as big and garish as you want, but we wont have to look at it.
that combined with the freddies sig once hack are perfect. i wont even use this feature, even though i cried for it.

Does it really matter? Any confusion just means theres a 1-2 hour window of when its disappearing. Just come back Saturday and put your signature back and all will be well.

But then I will be without a signature for some time, which doesn't look right.

Yes, it matters. For reasons only I would understand.

Than for that hour or two (starting at 5PM GMT) excessively refresh so you can be ready the moment they decide to start enforcing them?
