    opinions on Ed/Xerxes signature?

    isn't it the same as CC's avatar? Didn't he have a political one as well? I put it in an Abuse Report for viewing/discussion. IMO this is no different than the CM ones>?

    "Signature spaces are a great place for pictures, the name(s) of your pet(s), a quote you like - things that can give other members an idea of who you are, and what you're about. 

    Signatures are NOT an appropriate place to disparage or insult the methods or philosophies of another member or members, nor are they the place for offensive material including, but not limited to, racism and profanity"

     Just went and looked, and I agree.  If he was posting some kind of message to support a candidate he likes, I wouldn't have an issue with that - within reason of course.  But that's just intended to offend Hillary supporters.

    This is not a political forum.  Can you send him a note telling him to remove it, and quote what you quoted above re: sigs.  If he fights it even a LITTLE, tell him that Jaime and I have NO problem removing such things and that you've referred his dispute to me.

    will do...I feel the same. Show support/endorsement...don't pick at or insult.

    he argued that stopping her from getting into office was "what he was about" and would remove it under protest...so he'll likely just HAVE to put something else into his sig to show how clever he is.

    Here's what I posted him back...

    " Xerxes:

    And one thing that I'm about is keeping Hillary out of the Oval office. 

     

    I don't doubt that for a second...any more than I doubt that what Anne is about, is stopping CM from influencing dog owners.

    But a pic of him with horns and similar wording, would be equally unacceptable. Sorry about that, thanks for the note back.

    Oh dear lord does it never end?!  I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he comes up with.

    BTW, did you see the pic I found for you?  It's in NDR.

    he has put something up...so you need to PM him....I predicted it almost to the word...

    eta: I sent him the below...

    "Ed...

    I see you decided on the "poke with a stick" route for your sig. I've referred the matter to Admin.

    And I sent him this...

    I'm not allowed to say "Hillary Clinton shouldn't be President" here.

    That's not accurate.  What you're not allowed to do is intentionally bait anyone, use your sig to disparage either the beliefs of others or the forum - where the right of reply is removed - or stir up trouble for the sake of it.

    Following a similar incident recently, Jaime decided that if a member is asked by a mod/admin to remove something from a signature or avatar and they replace it with something equally offensive or mocking, that counts as a strike, as an edit would. To that end, this makes 3 strikes, and I will be passing this on to Jaime for her final decision on whether you should receive a suspension.
