Is it really necessary to have an entire page worth of bull**** in your signature? And then top it off with a message to NOT SPAM THE BOARD? One single line of barely-legible text followed by an entire page of stuff nobody could possibly care about? It's gotten bloody obnoxious, all these huge pictures, all these huge spaces and lists and everything else.
Oh, and the "POSTED WITH XDA APP!" and "POSTED WITH TAPATALK!!" ****... give it a bloody rest, nobody gives a damn what you're using or what you posted it from. Yes, I know that's a default message - but what kind of ******* would leave that in place? You install the stupid thing - probably just to get rid of the popups - AND YOU IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE SPAM. Who is the **** at XDA who said, "YOU KNOW WHAT GAIS WE NEED A SIGNICHUR IN OUR APP DURRRRRR".

I don't think people should get banned except for repeat offenders. Maybe some guidelines.....
(shouldn't this topic be posted in the "About xda-developers.com" forum?)

no it shouldnt most people have that even me..

he/she's probably the recognized contributor of useless signatures.
EDIT: Haha i found out who it was.. He also now has an annoying gif above the "xda-developers" gif..
I think xda should limit the amount of gifs and images you can put into your signature..

I've heard there is a limit, 4 images.

Well almost all the RCs has those same pics

The best route to air such complaints is to contact a mod, and not post it anywhere in open fora...
Anyways, I've attempted to contact the concerned rc, and we'll suggest him to use his space a little more efficiently...
And just a request, please be a little more polite in the future

I made my sig as simple as I can hence the multi-links. They should learn how to compress their sig alot better.

I gotta admit, My sig is a bit messy ;P

I don't think sigs are a problem, if you hate them that much try tapatalk 2 which doesn't seem to show them

I am still new to the forums and don't even know how to create a signature yet, but the original posting didn't seem to be that bad, just needs to be compressed a bit in my opinion.

Ok.. so the signature is a bit long.. but what beats me is the fact that you actually opened a new thread just to point this out, while you could have just reported it or PMed a Mod.
I have requested the user to shorten the signature

[3.11.2008] Post your Welcomehead.96 here...

As I have been searching high and low, I can't seem to find a good Welcomehead.96 pic for my ppc. I've tried to create my own (my modified Windows Mobile Welcomehead posted below) but just can't find that look that will make my ppc complete.
So I'm asking for you to post your Welcomehead.96 here. Not so I can sell them on eBay (search thread on that) but so I and anyone else can get some ideas on the different looks and maybe spark that creativity to come up with what I hope will do my ppc justice.
Another thread like this might be out there but I couldn't find it. Just scattered pics here and there.

What if mine has a naked chick on it? Is it against XDA policy to post that kind of stuff? It isn't racy or anything, just a beautiful nude female human.

Photoshop black blocks........
So... I don't get it. Can I post hot nude chicks or not? I doubt a blocking program can detect nude images... no moderators around?

Photoshop black blocks over the possible subjective areas (Is that politically correct?) and you should be safe to post it.. I haven't searched the exact rules on this subject.
heres mine....its a match, but instead of fire, its water.....i didnt make the original picture, the only thing i did was add the vista logo

			
				
Ok, this is what I'm working on as of now. Keep them coming..
This is mine, got it off another thread here somewhere which as you'll see I have also doubled up as my profile pic
Is there any specific requirement for the Image for it to be able to be used by the device?

I believe the image should be Welcomehead.96.png, png being the format needed. My device is 240 X 320 but yours could be different.

!?!?!SPAM?!?!?!?! How do we stop it ???

This SPAM crap is got to STOP.........WTF
Pissed
Mike
Agree
I think the best way is to report any spam inmediatly here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306366&page=12
If we all toghether report smpam our dear Mods & Admins will happyly erase it!
but maybe those users are bots which will register here everytime with another username. So a tougher captcha would prevent bots from registering. Or this is someone who dislikes xdadev.
i think an option to mark something as spam would be helpfull...
When a Thread got marked as spam eg 30 times it willl be removed
don't know about this ...

I have a spam attack recently at my forum and synce then I've been using this:
http://www.stopforumspam.com/
It's a web that provides ip, mail and name validation for spamers.
There's an VBulletin plugin available at the VBulletin forum here that interacts with this stopforumspam for automatic online validation during user registration:

I know this is not the best forum to post this... but as this is the one having the problems... I'm just trying to help you keep this awesome forum clean .
Hope this helps solving the problem...
Thanks for XDADevelopers!!

There's got to be some way of stopping it before that spam jerk get's 30 posts in 5 minutes.....come Mod's what do you think ????
It's like having a pop-up blocker...but it blocks SPAM.....We all come a long way here...and I think it's nice...I don't need to see a pop-up spam ad for every device.
We are quite fast as spam killers,

Very true! I don't think there is a problem ridding of the spam, but there is one with it being posted. The one that really gets me mad are the ones that post the same dang thing 4 or 5 times, in new threads, all within minutes!

I tried using the files in that post before and it screwed up my entire TF3d which forced me to do hard reset. I made a thread about this before and haven't found an answer.

I WAS NOT BEING GRUMPY, I was simply saying SEARCH, because this has been covered. And the flamed trophy was a joke.
I probably should've said this in my first post, but I did use the forum search. The solution that I found didn't work for me, so I made the thread to see if anybody had found an alternative.
man, there's no alternative, it simply works like it's described in that thread...
and next time when something crashes, just delete those files and they will be replaced after soft reset automaticaly
Either way it doesn't work if you don't use a flip clock or analog clock.

hahah wow thank you for showing this to me.
Thanks for the laugh.... Goes with the "any" key jokes of old. Probably should tell the guy he can get all the free movies at 10.10.10.100 and see how long he tries.
Holy Crap, that's a good one.

That has got to be one of the funniest things that i have ever seen
Even though this provides most with a chuckle, it should be a warning to those on these boards who blindly follow any post without understanding what exactly it is their being "told" to do.
Amazingly enough, not everyone who posts steps to improve your phone, gps, speed, <<fill in the blank>>, knows what the heck they're talking about. Granted, some are very knowledgeable and can be trusted more than most... however there are those that either have no clue what they're doing or worse, know exactly what they're doing when giving out false and misleading information.
So to all those who are quick to jump without enough technical knowledge to understand what you're doing, please wait until those who do know have a chance to respond and identify falsehoods and dangerous mods.
LoL - That's just too funny
It should be voted to the front page...........top right of OP. LOL

[RANT] People with signatures on XDA

I hate people with long signatures and have a GIF in them. Really side tracks me.
First we have people who uses XDA from a mobile application, which has signatures enabled as default.
Code:
sent from my a0001
I could not care less.
Then we have the people who adds a GIF to their signature

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(upvote or whatever)
Which doesn't make me upvote their comment or whatever, instead it side-tracks me from the post I'm trying to read. Really annoying and pictures should be allowed in signatures.
Then we have people who have their lifes work on a signature.
I don't mind those people, as it may be hard work they have put up. But still; not my thing.
Then we have people who have all information in the world about their phone, what ROM they run, recovery, kernel, settings, sometimes even weird patches.
IF I WANTED TO KNOW THAT STUFF YOU RUN THEN I WOULD ASK YOU RIGHT!?!? As if every human in the world asked the guy and he didn't want to tell each one by one.
At last we have people who bough a OnePlus device. So what people would do right, is they include the whole process of buying the phone into their signature. Not only on the XDA forum, but also on the oneplus forums (renamed to Community). It's getting on my nerves everytime i browse the OnePlus forums. Literally everyone has that stuff. STOP IT!
Code:
bought the phone 11/11/11
> processing 11/11/12
> shipping 22/11/33
> recived 77/33/22
CONGRATS!?!
Some people also have a picture instead of text, which makes it even harder to scroll down. Like I care when your device was bought.
Something to add to this rant, is that signatures makes a page go really fast, especially if people have a large signature. I see more signatures than actual replies.
For some reason you can even add which mobile carrier you have on your phone to your XDA profile. What's next? IMEI, S.O?
So you there: stop with signatures completely, they were made for emails in the first place and instead turned to be a spam in forums, people writing one line reply then a signature which is the motherload, that's SPAM. No wonders there's not a lot of posts in one page.
I can't tell if this rant was a long one or not. Some people will say for sure that you can turn off signatures or whatever. That shouldn't be necessary, instead look at your ugly signatures and remove them.

Signatures were very popular in the past, now that many people uses mobile versions in my opinion they aren't a good idea. Forums used to lock signature images with 300x150px resolutions.

Using a mobile device isn't a issue. In all XDA forum apps I've tried you can turn off signatures.
I don't have a major problem with people with signatures, unless they make a book out of it, which everyone seems to do.
But yeah, the admins need to set a limit to signatures.
Signatures are a way for members to express themselves, pass on information, etc, etc. And yes, there is an option in the user control panel to disable them from your experience if you so choose! :good:
But opinion noted and thread closed.
