Censorship

My signature has been deleted - I can't believe it. At least I assume that is what has happened because no one has pm'd me.

It was some lyrics to folk song called Medusa.

Perhaps it was some copyright issue, I have got to admit that I have mixed feelings about signatures, there are the philosophical quotes from people that most of us have never heard of, and there are one or two quotes used which the people who use them don't seem have any real comprehesion what they mean anyway.

Truthfully your real signature on the group is what you write and how you write it, and I for one are perfectly happy with your signature.

Re: Censorship

Possibly because it may have been over two lines long. Why don't you shorten it?

Re: Censorship

Hi Susie,

I deleted the signature yesterday as it went over the 2 line limit on the forum rules. It looks like signatures are gradually getting larger and more colourful again and yesterday I even deleted one that was 8 lines long, with 3 links in it. Sorry I hadn't sent out a PM, but I completely snowed under as usual and I'd have to sent out 7 PMs after deleting some of the signatures yesterday.

Stu

Re: Censorship

Shame you cant set it up so you can limit the number of characters used when entering the signatures in the box..

Re: Censorship

now I remember it, it also had damn written all over it, and I can't remember in what context, but that may have had something to do with it being deleted as well.

Re: Censorship

Oh well, it was the same number of characters as my previous signature and as far as I am concerned damn wasn't used in an offensive manner but hey-ho, such is life.

Apologies for making more work for the mods.

That is such a lovely thing to say. Thank you, Speckled Wood.
