"11- Do not use overly large signatures. Signatures should not take up more than 3 normal sized text lines in height. Do not use images in your signature.
...
13- Do not punt topics. Punting would be making a non-substantive post for the express purpose of bring the thread to the top of the thread list. "

hooray for #11, but what's wrong with #13?

I think some clarification of "non-substantive posts" is in order for sure.

Other than that...it is their boards therefore their rules.

Thinking about it more I guess maybe its all those "In before the lock" posts that pop up from time to time.  In that case, I can agree completely.

Maybe the "users" that wanted to have 3+  pages of nothing on there sig like AKS\/\/ulfe and GRUNHERZ  was doing, I know i put those 2 on my Ignore List for that.
Or maybe all the pics in the sigs were taking to long to load for alot of users.

Those rules are designed for civilized discussions.  Shoot, half the fun in here is reading the posts.

As Spock said to Dr. McCoy, he was quite entertained by the constant flow of illogic coming from the good doctor.:D


Dr. McCoy:  Spock, you haven't listened to a thing I've said have you?



Spock:  Actually I have doctor, the constant flow of illogic you bring forth is quite entertaining.



This is how it should be.

15 Do not cut and past whole topics and follow it up with stupid emoticons instead of your own thought on the issue.

Was there something deleted already here?  :confused:

I saw the "sticky" about forum rules but didn't know if there was more than the quote above at the start of this thread.
