Signature Restraint Act
Resolved that the limit of signature sizes in Shireroth will be no more than five lines of text (exceptions granted if the text is made smaller) or an image smaller than 500*130. Should any foreigner violate this provision, the Minister of Information shall ban them or restrict their posting rights to something less than ten per day, depending on the severity of the violation. Should any citizen violate this provision, the Minister of Information shall restrict their posting rights to something between five and fifteen per day, depending on the severity of the violation. Any violator may end their penalty at any time by complying with the terms of this act.Any NGS members coming to Shireroth will be shot on sight as a bad influence.Hyperborea votes YEA.

Re: Signature Restraint Act
Kildare splits: AYE (2), ABSTAIN (2)I agree that signatures should be limited. However, for some reason, I feel funny about this act... so I am split.As for the suggested penalties...the Ministry of Information has already effected a foreigner's posting limit. Denizens are receiving five (5) posts per day; registered Diplomats are to receive ten (10) posts per day; Immigrants are to receive fifteen (15) posts per day; Hostile Outsiders receive one (1) post per day if they are not banned. Citizens having passed the Naturalization requirements receive unlimited posting rights.This system (as has been noted) has had a few flaws in the effection thereof, and I apologize for those troubles. By the way, if Winston Marlboro had not been banned, he would not have been able to post anymore that day anyways because of the set limits. Chances are he would have.BTW... who's NGS?

Re: Signature Restraint Act
NGS is the National Government Simulation, a forum whose members are famous for having at least ten really big images in each of their sigs.Mari, yours is well under the image size limit, so you are OK. Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. - LongchenpaEdited by: Scott Siskind at: 10/5/03 6:53 pm

Re: Signature Restraint Act
Abstain (4)I have a feeling that most of the people posting in the nation don't read the post on the general forum asking them to keep their sigs short. Foreigners proly don't care what we think anyway. That, and I think that banning is a bad idea except under extrememe circumstances...so there you go... -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Imigration and Naturalisation, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - "Minsiter of Dance, Pants and Funny Walks" - SAVE THE KIWI!!

If someone would tell me how to make a Marquee like Tymaria's, I would put it up in the announcements with the "Take the Bimestrial Census" one, which has been oh-so-effective Raised by a family of Griffins in the forests of Llanowar, this young mage is rumored to be the sole male born of the Serra tribe.

Marque the tag.. ONLY works in IE.. so.. it's a useless tag.. JAva might be able to do it.. I think I found the script that Tymaria used.. I might have it somewhere around here... (I love how that script proliferated after Tymaria...hehe) Erik Mortis BrookshirePrætor of ShirerothDuke of Brookshire

Re: Signature Restraint Act
Also, nobody is going to go around making sigs fit exactly. That would be a pretty stupid job. -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Imigration and Naturalisation, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - "Minsiter of Dance, Pants and Funny Walks" - SAVE THE KIWI!!

Re: Signature Restraint Act
Yardistan Changes it's vote to Nay (4).I thought about this and I'm thinking, why not just turn off signatures in the general forum and ministry of Information, post notices in the MiniEx and MiniImiNat and make it a law for citizens to keep it short and allow provisions for duchies to do as they wish if they want it restricted or not? I think that this would be better, that way we don't have to worry about any possiblity of problems. -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Imigration and Naturalisation, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - "Minsiter of Dance, Pants and Funny Walks" - SAVE THE KIWI!!

Re: Signature Restraint Act
If most of the signatures that are annoying belong to visitors? How are you going to inforce this law? What are you going to do ban them?

hrm... maybe we should take up the ol' tradition of B0O0/\/\ing the feck out of people who annoy us... but that would mean we need an active and trained military... Raised by a family of Griffins in the forests of Llanowar, this young mage is rumored to be the sole male born of the Serra tribe.

Re: Signature Restraint Act
It's not a law. It's not written anywhere that could make it a law.Now, i agree that certain sigs are long with the point of being malicious. and in that case, I reccomend that such people are banned. However, i think that if we just turned off the sigs in public places we would be fine. We wouldn't ever know the difference. -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - "Minsiter of Dance, Pants and Funny Walks" - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas "You're intense and driven.
