Signature files and Animated Gifs

Good Morning,

I am afraid to say that we have arrived at a post I had hoped I would not have to make 😞 I will be posting this message across most of the main boards throughout the day.

The size of Signature Files in posts is starting to get a little too out of hand. Lately the size has been creeping up and in some cases there are two or three different things in sig files pushing out the size of posts. In addition the use of animated gifs has been creeping back in along with ad's for sales and attempts to hide links in text.

For the most part I've tried to be as flexible as possible, overlooking the ones that are a little bigger than the recommendations. When they have been too large I've contacted members directly to ask them to resize them, and members have been happy to comply. This is no longer an option as it is taking up too much time due to the number of people needing to be contacted.

Were these reported Liveworld will act on them, and I don't want to see anyone getting a warning over something easily avoided.

At this point I would like to remind everyone about the signature guidelines, which you can find here: http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=400055459&tstart=0

I hope we can work within these guidelines and bring the threads back to a point where posts are easy to read without too much scrolling.

I appreciate your help on this.

James

As usual merlin so it seems.
Its annoying though because its ok for posters to be bped without the post being read before they issue a warning. There should be something in place for this to be stopped. Its all well and good saying it takes time, it just never gets sorted.

yes I do tabs, but he may be able to tell us where the right place is to go other than liveworld.
Ans yes I agree they probably havent done anything at all lol, but as its people like us that keep ebay going in fees and buying and it is SUPPOSED to be a community then surely we should be told what they intend to do about the system for reporting posts. I realise its the same old same old, but instead of changing the search item system every 5 mins and worrying about sizes of sigs, they need to sort out whats important.

sorry am ranting :8}

chez I agree but even in business,people are always open to discussions and suggestions. I almost always follow the rules. I am not perfect and enjoy a laugh, but what about posters who get a slap or a ban for saying nothing more than a hello or a innocent remark, because we all know that happens more and more, especially when someone decides to bp. Everyone knows the reported posts never get read and on many occasional are completely unwarrented.

if you are following the rules then fine.. complain..

but how many people are?

most personal vendetta are imagined , there are a lot of paranoid Ebay posters!

posting that you got slapped is against the rules...the more you bleat about it the more slaps you get.
