By the way, I wonder if it would be possible for people to not abuse the words "anypony", "somepony" and "nopony" in calc/programming/help topics and preferably non-humoristic ones too? I don't really mind if those words appears in some rare occasions (such as until a few weeks ago), but if you start using them in every sentence like recently, then this causes the same problem as people who use poor spelling: Google translate totally butchers those sentences (making it much harder for our foreign members to dechiper posts). Besides, we prefer that our members try to use good spelling, proper punctuation and grammar if they know how, so I guess it would also be a good idea to not deliberately mispell words either.

In the 2nd sentence, it sounds more like text from an adult MLP fanfic featuring grammar fetishes.

I personally don't like the ponies but I think its a personal choice and shouldn't be banned. I do wish there was a restriction on the size though, because big sigs are annoying when you have to keep scrolling down... Mine's only like 15 pixels high.
Even if I'm not fine yet with some people's signature showing their wild immaturity, I'm fine with this option.

Some of the members may take offence with you calling them wildly immature.

Some of the members may take offence with you calling them wildly immature.Less rude or less realistic ? I cannot close my eyes (well, its what I'm doing by disabling signatures) on such a thing.Liking MLP is a fact, flooding and spamming it in every sig is more like a troll or immature thing.Thus, I hope being rude can make them wake up. I'm not demanding them to change, but if they can understand they are annoying people, it will be a good thing for them.

May I point you to http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=2 and strongly remind you that we will enforce them.
While you may find it annoying you still do not have the right to be rude or provocative to members of this site. If you have complaints about specific individuals then submit an issue on http://ourl.ca/issue and if you have a request about our policy or changing how the site works use http://ourl.ca/request
- If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the minute, and the longer your message is, the more they pay.
Also Levak, before accusing people from being trolls, you should maybe look at yourself. YOU are the troll for the following reasons:-For trying in every way possible (at least, since the last 6 months or so) to ruin Omnimaga friendly atmosphere. -For trying in every way possible to start fights with other members by being rude on purpose-Trying to get a reaction from other people by posting controversial (or controversially-written) messages to make them angry or leave the forums (eg, Stefos)-Harassment (eg, always jumping on me, although you stopped it seems, or stefos)-By denying the fact you are actually being rude (at least per Omnimaga standards) and that way, acting like you are perfect, throwing the blame on everyone else (example: your post right above)-For breaking the forum rules on purpose: *Flaming (calling people names or insulting them, such as calling them immature) *Intolerance (insulting someone or an entire group of people for liking MLP, colored sigs, being gay, black, etc, or a calculator RPG for being larger than 5 KB and 1 file, for example) *Provocative comments (trolling, being confrontational, being rude or anything else that can make people angry)
