I voted "do I look like I care?" which is almost true! *laughs*

I don't really read sig lines - unless they have something interesting in them, then I will read it.

Long sigs can be annoying sometimes, but then I did a long sig myself ages ago, so I can't really be annoyed!! But basically, its up to everyone how to use their sigs. I am not that bothered. But like Miss Rebbecca, I hate it when I see bbcode in sig lines, that does annoy me and I am a perfection when it comes to that. I make sure all bbcode is not shown before clicking on "save" by previewing, and checking everything is in the correct place etc.

I like images in sig lines, my favourite - but - I hate too many images and flashy and decorations, but again, I can't do anything about it.

So, looks like I do care after all, but only about my sigs!!

:D :rose:
 
I'm just glad the cock av jerks haven't figured out their cock could even be bigger in their sig. That's usually an am pic thing, thank god.
 
I dislike big and flashy sig lines, which is why I have them turned off. I don't mind classy sig lines like Rebecca's or sexycas's, and I try to keep mine simple as well.
 
really.. who cares. If you dont like them, turn the feature off. My god, this seems like the, "I dont like you but cant find anything else to bitch about so let me pick on you about this" debate.
 
Like any other aspect of free speech you are entitled and people are entitled to tell you you suck and you are in turn entitled to tell them they suck.

Long sigs - mildly annoying, but I like a lot of people who refuse to trim the excess, so whatever, I still read them. (their posts, not their sigs every time, I'm not that compulsive)

Persecution and whining where "well, turn it off then" will do - more annoying.
 
I picked "Free speech" option (Goodness, that phrase has been bandied around a lot lately!) because I figure that unless you're breaking a lit rule, do what you want. I keep mine pretty small because sigs do eat up bandwidth, and I got into the habit of being careful that way. On one of the sites I mod, that is a rule for us because we're small and non-profit and frankly, we can't afford mile long sigs.

I have fun with the people who demand that you read and notice their sig. Unless I'm curious about or am looking for something special (like the link to Shyguy's livejournal, which is in his sig.) they tend to scroll on by for me. And as Netz says, you're free to post whatever you want and someone else is free to tell you that you suck. I'm free to ignore them too.
 
Both my av and sig lines flash. I'm sorry if that bothers anyone. I'm not planning to change them because both of those elements mean a great deal to me.

:rose:
 
This answer option is PERFECT: Do I look like I care?

DONE! Woo-HOO! :D
 
As I generally keep sig lines turned off - the product of spending so many of my early Lit days in The Playground where it's fashionable to have sig lines that take up half a page - I sometimes even forget what my own says. I change it roughly once every geological age whether I need to or not. I think it's currently a bit of snark but I'm too lazy today to go check.
 
Bwahaha. Funny indeed.

That's the problem with turning off sig lines. You miss the good ones.

That's why I don't turn mine off. I wish we could selectively turn some off and leave others on. There are some that really annoy me. But it's just the internet, I'm not going to bitch about somethng so minor when there are real life battles more worth my energy.
 
i got into a squabble with some stupid bitch on the General Board about my sig line-she thought it was ridiculous and lengthy. She told me all i needed was the animated glitter letters for it to top out in gaudiness.

My response?

i told her to shut the fuck up and turn off siglines or put me on "ignore".

Then i told her, "Now go get me those animated glitter letters!".

That was the last i heard from her.
 
kitty...

i can make you glitter letters if you would like me to....

**Yes, i'm in a bad fucking mood, and feel like being evil.**

hehe.

Thanks for the offer, little nikki, but i really didn't want the letters. i just said that to piss her off. it worked.

i can empathize with bad moods-feeling a little less than nice myself. LOL

Aw, c'mon DB, deep down inside, you know you like those sparkling animations, the kind that sear the corneas if you stare at 'em too long. You can admit it.
:D

Never fear-i am obnoxious, but even i can't stand the animations.
 
Oh my fucking god - that hurts my eyes AND my aesthetics. Please, make it stop!

And come on, the pink glittering letters may go well with 'Kitty', but 'DeservingBitch' in multicolors glittering letters? It's just wrong.

TeeHee....

Actually, when I was a kid, nothing was worth it if it didn't sparkle. Then, my dad grew tired of my Walt Disney aesthetics, and put a moratorium on glitter.
