Should Edge remove his sig?

Thats also why I keep it like I want. If a signature bothers NGD, they can lower the max characters or disable enlarging text.

I think the reason they added those rules was because they apparently annoyed MegriM, and the reason they haven't tackled the english part is quite clear I think, its the fact that the only moderator we see here is really Surak and occasionally niclam.

Hey, I m aware that Spanish forums have rules, mods, and all important things for running it smoothly. But here there are no rules, no mods, nothing, and that is giving possibility all to act how they want to.

That link is in Spanish, not in English. I dont understand it. Simple. No rule in English.

Problem is that NGD might didnt have enough time to translate it here, so we can only help them by translating those rules they made and demand sticky and NGD confirmation they are valid ones.

If I would know Spanish, I would gladly translate all that. And using any of online translator would be nonsense. So, Xeph, Jpicon, and other Spanish players with English knowledge, if you are able to help in translation, cool. If not, well, we can only wait for rules to be posted by NGD, and till then Edge is not in obligation by "law" to change signature .

I understand that game is Argentinian, but they accepted also English part of community as part of game community by making them forums too, so there must be then translated important rules and announcements that are applied on Spanish forums (if they treat us same way as them).

Example again Eternal Lands: I had signature 10 px more than allowed, and next day my sig was changed by mod:
deleted pic, and written: "Violation of Rule 26: too big signature" (or whatever it was), and link on part "Rule 26" to topic about rules. Simple and fair. But since we dont have mods here, we can only report to admins, and they can act then. Ofc, when we get Forum rules.

As a matter of fact, rules concerning signatures exist since the beginning of the Internet (and the BBSes) and have even been formalized and made official by the RFC 1855 called "net etiquette" (RFCs being Internet standards). The document dates back from 1995 and is a code of conduct for each responsible netizen. It has been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force, responsible for the management of most Internet related standards. It can be found here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html

As the name "etiquette" says, it is something expected out of politeness and decency, for the good of all the users. You are free to choose not to follow these rules just like you are free to burp in public and pee on someone's car if you wish (the later might get you into more problems depending the jurisdiction of your country).

On top of that, as previously stated by Torg, there are rules in these very forums limiting signatures to be on 3 lines at max resolution 1024x768. The fact that the English forums aren't moderated yet doesn't mean these rules don't exist here too.

Okay Okay, I`ll translate them after having a bath.

Where's mister ducky?

here you go

Maybe my sig is a cry for better moderation

[Torg_Snowflake]

Here ya all go:

Forum rules of Regnum Online.

Here are described the rules to coexist in the forum. Those who not comply, will get a warning and then a ban in case of repeating it.

For those actions of bad behaivior not listed in this rules, moderators will take action on their behalf.

These rules can and will be changed without previous notice.

* You cannot insult or verbally assault using direct words or modified versions of them.
* Neither can you send obscene images, nor ones that might affect other users' senisibility. You also can't post links to adult sites.
* Messages or replies must have content relevant to the topic at hand.

* No discrimination based on race, religion, gender, or any kind is allowed.
* Signatures cannot have images of any kind (GIF, Flash, etc). They also must comply to the previous rules, including text and links. Max line number is 3 ((Added by me: in other post they pointed out that's 3 lines in the standart size. If you increase size you can use less lines)).
* Messages not related to the game, or without content, must be posted in "The inn" forum.
* Messages sent to "The inn" or "Images" wont add to the counter.

I ask any english speaker to please do some corrections where needed.

I don't get payed by NGD and it's not my responsibility. NGD should do that, not us.


@Torg:

You posted: * Messages sent to "The inn" or "Images" wont raise the counter.
I would say: * Messages sent to "The inn" or "Images" wont add to the counter.

I just asked if you are able to do it, you dont have to, ofc.
I know how hard can be when you have small dev team, who cant handle all in same time. Thats why community can help. (again, like in Eternal Lands, 3 people are developers, community is helping all the rest, if they want ofc).

Thanks Torg a lot!
