UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Blinking Text Is Annoying

From The Urban Dead Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Ban blinking text. There is no need for it. I don't like it. Make it go away. From everything just sigs.

For bob:

The signature policy will be changed thusly:

What wouldn't be allowed

  • Signatures which have images higher then 14 pixels high.
  • Signatures which generally break the wiki in some way either through formatting or other means.
  • Signatures which impersonate another user.
  • Signatures which link to any of the following special pages: Special:Userlogout or Special:BlockIP.
  • Signatures which link to external links that perform malicious actions (closing the browser for example).
  • Signatures which contain images larger then 50kb.
  • Signatures which contain blinking text or images that mimic blinking text.

Voting Section

Voting Rules
Votes must be numbered, signed, and timestamped. They can take one of two forms:
  • # comments ~~~~
    or
  • # ~~~~

Votes that do not conform to the above will be struck by a sysop.

The only valid voting sections are For and Against. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

  12. -- Blinking text is dreadful, and should only be used in applicable (and rare) cases. Knowing you idiots (only a few of you...), that will never happen, so I am fully for this.--The Shoemaker Talk Red FactionDinosaur.gif 20:11, 14 June 2009 (BST)
  13. - I debated making a blinking yes here, but thought I would regret it. --Haliman - Talk 18:45, 14 June 2009 (BST)
  14. - Only because of the "images that mimic blinking" part. Blinking text can be disabled in FF, and I'm guessing the same for other browsers. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 19:02, 14 June 2009 (BST)
  15. - All the way.--SirArgo Talk 19:21, 14 June 2009 (BST)

  17. Yes, this is needed.-- Adward  22:42, 14 June 2009 (BST)
  18. Yes, fine.. just as long as it doesn't affect my right to have jiggly boobies in my siggie----SexualharrisonStarofdavid2.png Boobs.gif 23:35, 14 June 2009 (BST)

  19. Having already supported this in discussion I concur with everyone above --GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 04:20, 15 June 2009 (BST)
