I'm over-budget on opinion posts, but here goes:
I know this has been brought up before but...
In the past few days especially, with discussions picking up, I'm getting more and more annoyed with certain user signatures.
I really enjoy reading some of these, and some of the contained quotes, information and such are good. But... some of them go a little too far (in my opinion).
Huge banner images.
Long lists of team accomplishments...
(Vertically) Long Quotes.
The worst thing is when I see a ONE WORD response post, with a 24 line signature (I'm not exagerating...)
I mean... cmon guys. Can we tone it down a little bit? Or even just click the box to turn your sig off when you're doing a quick "throwaway" post?
Also... I don't speak for everyone... But:
It's 2004. Unless you won nationals, I don't really care what your team accomplished in 2001. I'm sure you're proud of it (if you were even on the team when it happened), but there is no need to make your signature a history lesson.
(Instead, why don't you submit the story of your amazing victory to FIRST-Historians!
They need some more content.)
Just think what would happen if the guys from
BBS or
Buzz started doing this, (there'd be no room for discussion!
).
Just a minor criticism...
