I guess I've been "heard." I just started a new thread in Nothingland.

Relax. If you had seen some of the spamage we've had over the years, you'd appreciate the reason for the delay.

And, welcome.

Well, during registration, I had to enter a validation code (standard S.O.P. for vBulletin boards). Shouldn't that have been enough to prove I'm not a spambot?

No, they hire people in underdeveloped countries to get past that.

Question about Signatures

Any rules on siggys? Image size? Whether or not they're allowed? Text line limit? Text size limit?

Hey, the drugs have worn off, and I just noticed that the Meta header has changed...when did that happen?

Ummm...yeah. No rules about graphic siggies though:

Quote:
There are only three RULES of the Cellar.

1. Do not try to break the law using the Cellar.
2. Do not try to break the Cellar.
3. Do not be "intolerably irritating".

The meaning of that last item is of course open to interpretation. But basically, if you are a troll, attention whore, moron, spammer, single-issue hammer, or otherwise want to hurt or "test" this community, you WILL be removed and banned.

If you post a link on your first post, expect your message to disappear, and your account to be banned. If you post a message that looks like a pitch in any way, expect your message to disappear. If you post a "real" message on your first post, and a pitch message on your second, expect both messages to disappear. We are extremely effective at this, and we are paying attention.

Lastly, this is a forum for adults, and we assume the content here is likely to be obscene or possibly offensive. All messages express the views of the people who wrote them.
I also need clarification on rule 2.

You'll find that rule 3 can cover a lot of things without having to spell them all out.

I know what rule 3 is all about. I'm asking about rule 2.

Always be gentle and kind to the Cellar. Do not shoot holes in the walls. Never subject the Cellar to globothermonuclear war. Wash hands before leaving the restroom. Etc.

Sarcasm is an unacceptable answer.
