Might as well, my little signature ad strike isn't doing anything and the deal is pretty good.

Do we have to change our signature to our new one?

The new signatures look much better than the previous ones.   Good idea to have different signatures for different activity levels, just so everyones doesn't look identical...

Not that anyone asked, but personally I don't like the Full Member signatures as much. Senior and Hero Member sigs look very good, but the dashes above and below the sig in Full Members looks somewhat obtrusive to me. I know that given the smaller font size they had to stand out somehow, but perhaps thinner dashes or only keeping the lower dash would wield better results.

Nope, no PM, changed it anyway, maybe thats why.

I didn't.  I think the old one looks better (for senior or hero member anyway) myself... but if it's for 'signature spam' purposes, I guess the newer one is less obnoxious

Just a warning to everyone: It seems quite a number of users were banned yesterday for making unsubstantial or spam posts and there's more bans to come. Most of them seemed to be on Ritz's deal but there was at least one PD user I know of. I'm not sure if the bans were permanent but some are apparently just for a week or two. It seems if you make lots of unsubstantial posts in off topic or reply to others continually with vague and pointless responses - even if they were on-topic - there's a good chance you might get a ban, so I'd be a careful or weary of the content of your posts. Maybe a few bans will be good for the overall system if the quality of posts increases, especially if people make a conscious decision to make their posts more constructive or only reply to threads they actually have something worthwhile to say in. 

Yeah there's a ton of garbage being posted in off topic lately. I suspect it's paid sig spammers giving themselves threads to reply to.

I've suggested posts in off topic shouldn't count towards post count.

Hmm, not sure if the people behind the bots are from the paid sigs or not, but a lot obviously just jump at the chance to post something in a nonsense thread as soon as it's posted. Maybe having certain boards that don't affect your post count would cut the down the spam a bit, but I think it'd also just move a lot of it to somewhere else and we'll then see stupid discussions in the politics section or whatever.

I think we should disable the postcount feature entirely, don't you think ? We have activity , that should suffice.

I've actually suggested that too in the past, but it would still be relatively easy to determine posts, knowing there are 20 per page. I've resigned myself to the fact that we're going to have start banning people, didn't want to but it's getting out of hand. Banned a dozen this morning alone (1 week/2 week duration to start), with a dozen more under review, and I'm just getting started.

Quoting this for future reference. Thanks hilarious, I don't post that often but for others this is important.

What's the problem?
We won't get paid for spamming anyway...

PS. is my sig good now?

Obviously some people slip the net, but good luck collecting your signature payment when you can't PM Stunna.

Seriously? You said 'What's the problem?' I'm saying if you get banned you cannot PM or post, so that would be the problem.

But if you get banned because spamming, you wouldn't get paid even if you could send PM to Stunna, because Stunna won't pay for spammers

And how would Stunna necessarily know that they've been spamming? Read my above post where I said obviously some people slip the net. It's not like the user would get banned and then Stunna suddenly and miraculously knows or agrees that they've been spamming too. Some people have different definitions of what spam is or constitutes and that also extends to the mods too. From what I can gather from some of the users that have publicly complained about their ban, some seem like the bans might've been a little harsh, but others were blatantly warranted. Obviously I can only go on what evidence I see or have seen and that's my opinion, but others will agree and some will disagree, but that fact of the matter is people are getting banned regardless or whether somebody feels they are actually spamming or not or should be entitled to payment.

Updated the signatures!

All users involved in PrimeDice's signature campaign will receive a PM shortly requesting they change their signature to the updated one!

Looks a lot less cluttered and should help clean the forum up as far as signature spam is currently concerned.

Did not receive a PM, but I changed the signature now

...Says the guy with a competitor's .sig (at the time of this writing) below his post.

Lots of credibility there. Sounds legit to me.
