Title: Signature Character limits Post by: Hhampuz on June 17, 2019, 11:12:01 AM Do we get an update log anywhere of changes to the forum overall?
The limitation to Signature Codes was lowered from 4,000 to 3,850 (For Hero/Legendary users). An error code was being displayed while trying to use a previous signature code, so would have been nice if it'd been made public before I paid for it (no extra charge, but still). Also wondering what the motivation behind this move is, theymos? One step closer to eliminating signature campaigns? :D Title: Re: Signature Character limits Post by: LoyceMobile on June 17, 2019, 11:16:18 AM Could it be the 4000 characters are counted as HTML, while you're counting characters as BBCode?
I've ran into that limitation on posts a couple of times.

I've ran into that limitation on posts a couple of times. Hmm, I'm not sure (I'm no signature coder). My guy just made me a signature as normal and it wasn't until a couple of days ago that error popped up while he had done nothing out of the ordinary. But, I'll ask him ;D Title: Re: Signature Character limits Post by: lobcmt2 on June 17, 2019, 11:21:52 AM If it is, the next step might be disabling signature campaigns which pay their participants in altcoins or tokens (not Bitcoin). After all, the last step might be disabling all signature campaign, but I guess we might not see such action in coming months. I saw post quality changed positively, and forum users tend to be more constructive. For spammers, they already get perma-bans or nukes, and will be get such punishments more.
I am still waiting for activation of reporter badges, that are another motivation to eliminate bad posters.

Alot of reasons can ignite this change but not elimination of signature campaign Title: Re: Signature Character limits Post by: Mulann2 on June 17, 2019, 12:06:00 PM If it is, the next step might be disabling signature campaigns which pay their participants in altcoins or tokens (not Bitcoin).

As always, line breaks = 6 bytes, and non-ASCII characters = 8 bytes. Title: Re: Signature Character limits Post by: Hhampuz on June 17, 2019, 03:50:37 PM There's been no change. As always, line breaks = 6 bytes, and non-ASCII characters = 8 bytes. Welp, my information was wrong then. Sorry! |
