Listing Equipment in Signatures

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Have you relaxed your policy on listing equipment in signatures?
I know for myself, it really makes searches difficult.
Just wondering.
Thanks for the wonderful job you guys do

Hello...

Nope, at all all. We have places in the user profile, a gallery, and a forum section for system configs that can be used to list gear.

I've been noticing a lot of members recently who have their equipment listed in their signatures and wasn't sure if I should report it or not. I have replied to some with posts asking them to remove but never get a response.
I know that it has cause me to get a lot of unnecessary returns on some searches Ive tried.

Hi...Actually the search does no hit the signature. So that would not be the issue. It was like that LONG ago when we used a different product. We do remove signatures with gear as we can when seen.

I did a search for posting but could not find a reason for banning equipment in signatures.

I can see if it was causing search issues (mulitple finds) but that doesn't seem to be the issue from the post above.

Just curious. Sometimes it's real nice and convienent to know what equipment people have without having to go somewhere else to look.

Thanks! Love the new site! Thanks for giving us the Retro option!

Example for you. If I listed my gear in my signature, it would be longer than most of my posts. Thus A LOT of waited space.

Visual example....

Gear List:

sdsdsd er34r 3rdd sd
dssd 343ewsd
sdsdasd
r4htg4
4t35thhy
3455gfghhh
efsdfdsfg5g
fdgfdgh6u
aeffdg5y5y5t
sdsdasd
r4htg4
4t35thhy
3455gfghhh
efsdfdsfg5g

Now think if that was in a thread over and over again in a thread the member is posting in or any thread he/she posted in.


Gear List:

sdsdsd er34r 3rdd sd
dssd 343ewsd
sdsdasd
r4htg4

Fair enough! Thanks for the response.

PS. Hey I have the "4t35thhy" as well what a piece of crap!

Thanks...I know.

Please clarity if we are supposed to report these with the report tool (I suppose only administrators have the right to edit signatures) or pm one of the admins. Here are two cases I see today.

Hi,

Please use the report post system and the staff can take it from there.

Thanks

Signatures should not affect searching as they are not stored as part of the post.

Now if a user is listing it in the post each time...then yes, it would be picked up.
