Allow banners / images in signatures?

Post by richard@imutual » Fri Jun 01 2012 2:46pm

Further to the discussion on a forum signature policy here.....

Do you think we should allow people to put images in their signatures? (i.e. as standard, by any member - ignoring any separate proposal to allow paid-for banners e.g. by advertisers)

Let's have a poll...

If the vote goes against allowing them as standard, we could have a further poll on the special circumstances under which someone would be allowed to use a banner

we just need "a further poll on the special circumstances under which someone would be allowed to use a banner" now.

Do you mean in the scenario where someone e.g. a merchant was willing to pay for the privilege of having a banner in their sig? Or for certain members (perhaps those with a given number of shares) to have this right? Or something else? Feel to make a suggestion :thumbup:

I would have thought that 10-1 against was a conclusive no

we can't keep havin poles until we get an answer which suit an individual
If there is a circumstance where a merchant would pay a meber for havin a banner advert
then they need to discuss that with RY in the first instance
There's queit a few members i would pay NOT to post :?

Sadly the result shows either that the vast majority of members were unconcerned about the outcome or unaware of the issue - you could say that 10 members voted for but that 3692 did not.

OR
1 voted against but 3702 did not
Even more conclusive
