I gave you negative rep for saying that something as simple as resizing your signature "just for MyGaming" would be "annoying." I really don't get the big deal. If you like the forum and other people get irritated by huge sigs, why wouldn't you be considerate? Just my opinion on the matter :)Quote:

I think of the rep system a lot like the thumbs up/thumbs down in the comment section (like News24, GameSpot, etc). Not everything you say always goes down well with everyone. I've had a couple of people give me negative rep although somehow more positive than negative so it's nice to know that some of the nonsense I post is appreciated by some :pQuote:

If there's some unspoken rule that the rep system isn't allowed to be used then I must've missed that memo :p
If you click on the 'User CP' link at the top of the forum can't you see the latest reputation points you've been given?Quote:

The funny thing is when it comes to competitions on here you guys are easily able to follow and adhere the rules of the competitions but now with a simple request from james to adhere to the general site rules you all are making an issue out of it !
those ones are easy they are one pic. i had xfire and the sc2 thing how do i check there combined high?Quote:

You work out the pixel height for both pictures and then you add it together and your sig height is fine.Quote:

I see 'em.
I can also see weasley's sigs. xfire and SC2
and done
hopefully more in line now :)
Yeah those are absolutely ridiculous, they aren't sigs they're backgrounds. If you still have to ask about them, either you are joking or you're clearly just disrespecting the admins.Quote:

Having said that, I agree some sigs are massive and could be resized and will defo try get mine sorted asap.
Well since nobody has come out and said it, I will. :)
I completely understand the problem with signatures. They add clutter and make things hard to read plus they are extra things that must be downloaded. However, I quite like them. :) There are some really nice looking ones. For instance DenSweeP's one looks pretty awesome and for me, big signatures and gaming sites go hand in hand.
On MyBB it's a different matter. There I even voted against using avatars since I browse that site at work and I'd like it to stay professional.
As for MyGaming, well here I want pictures and colours and all kinds of eye candy. Since I browse it at home to relax and to smile.
Look I enjoy sigs when they are reasonable, I find it's easier to identify and remember people from their sigs and avatars then JUST their nicks, so you can scroll down a thread and quickly pick up replies from the same person. However, when you start having to scroll through a 1000 lines of sigs to read 10 lines of discussion things have gotten out of hand.
James has kindly increased the allowed size to 600x130 which is a MORE than reasonable space to put in what you want. There really is no excuse to go over that limit.
You can use Gimp 2 to scale an image. It is pretty decent and if you decrease height it will scale the width accordingly so that the signature does not look weird. I do not mind scaling it for.Quote:

Found out your sig size is 640 x 235 pixels using paint so needs to be downsized quite a bit, probably about 50% smaller or less.Quote:

3. Signatures may consist of a maximum of one image no larger than 500 width and 90 height.

James pretty much indicated that 600x130 is fine (right?).Quote:

Haha, marginally better. Thanks for the leniency James!
Oh, and who was the ape that neg repped me on my post in the locked competitions threads? I really think that if you wanna rep someone, positive or negative, you should be forced to give your name.
^^ Mentioned it earlier ...... just ignore the cowards. It's the only time in their pathetic lives that they feel like a hero.
We have apes joined on mygaming ? :eek:Quote:

You guys don't have bigger/more pressing concerns in reality that what someone says/does on a forum gets your knickers in a knot?
Jeez, if I went hysterical every time someone said something mean/disliked something I wrote or went ape at an argument of mine I'd be batshit.
Tarryn deals with negativity and trolling on a daily basis, imagine if she took it as personally :eek:
Hell, weren't you all asking for the karma system to be implemented only a year or so ago? Now you're unhappy because some people give you negative rep?
Let's see, I've been called a troll, a "fucking moron" and then some.
So what if you get the odd negative rep, it works out in the end after all.
P.S. Just saw someone gave me negative rep, probably for giving them negative rep earlier in this thread. This is my give-a-damn face: :D It's a silly feature, you take it on the chin and move on with your lives. Id est: NO BIG DEAL :)
I feel the rep system should be implemented in a way that you can only give, then take away what you gave. It's unfair that people often pick on new guys, sending their rep into the red, and then everyone thinks their opinion isn't worth rubbish. With a rep system that allows you to give a point to someone, and then take away only that point if you feel like it, it can't really be abused and we'd actually see members who make worthy contributions to the forum get the recognition they deserve, instead of good posters sitting with rubbish rep because some butthurt twat neg-reps him simply because he doesn't like him.
*edit* Didn't see newer posts
Um the rep system, yeah I've been on the wrong end of that one. I think the thumbs system works a LOT better, that way specific posts are given a rating that everyone can see so you can pick out those that are more useful.
While ideally the rep system is suppose to highlight people with meaningful contributions what actually seems to happen is that you get neg rep for just about any little thing and unless you're super popular or making an extremely outstanding post, no-one plus reps you.
Queried this before. Thx James, editing mine now.
Edit: Sig amended.
I could have negative 100, it wouldn't bother me ...... the people who's views count that know me wouldn't use stupid rep as a marker. I have an issue with the double standards side of it. If there is a blowout because of anonymous people commenting, it's kinda silly to have another system that does the same thing in a way.Quote:
