New Rule for Signatures - Rule is now actively enforced!

[al-bo]

I totally support this, and I'm happy that it's being taken care of. Thanks, Tess. c:

Is mine OK? Could a model pm me as might not see response

A quick question, if I may -- I've seen many users with signatures that say, "If you don't support ________, don't talk to me," or something essentially along those lines. I know the word "anti" isn't used, necessarily, but I can assure you I've never felt more hurt or excluded from any community than when I've been told "If you don't have the same opinion as me, don't even bother interacting with me."

Would these be included under these rules? They certainly don't say "anti-______" but I feel that the hurtfulness in the message is very clear and perhaps even more offensive than a simple "anti-whatever." Of course, that's entirely my opinion, and I understand if I stand alone c:

My apologies if this has already been answered -- I tried looking but found nothing. <3

So, to clarify, no anti-anything messages if it's going to hurt someone's feelings? I think I can manage that. Mostly because I'm too lazy to do much of anything with my signature. XD

This is great new's!! ^^
I've seen people with signature's like that before, it feel's a lot better knowing this rule has been placed ouo

Thank you!
Finally will people stop scream in sigg or trade rules "I hate hoarders" ... this made me every time really sad/angry

on this I have little question...

message "i hate hoarders" probably isn't allowed... but sentence "I don't support hoarding" is or isn't allowed?

[LostInWonderLand]

Thank you so much for this Tess!!

great rule, I love it! people should definitely not be displaying hate in their signatures like that, especially on a family oriented website such as cs.

Thanks so much for this rule I was tired of seeing the " only 20% would" stuff in signatures , sometimes it makes me feel bad if I don't like warrior cats or a show :0 or anything that the person liked . Thanks so much

I think signatures are there to express yourself not post hate messages or anti messages

I have a question, would 'i dont support hoarding' or 'i hate hoarders/refuse to trade with hoarders' also fall under this rule? C: i think it does, just wanted to be sure!

I didnt see any comments about this so reposting c: would really like to know as there is quite a lot of hoard hating still going on, specifically in trade rules.

I'd say this kinda depends on the wording, certainly anything which is anti hoarders can be reported, because that's attacking a group of members. Saying "I hate hoarders" or something would be reportable. But being against hoarding is kind of just a gameplay tactic, I wouldn't say it's inherently offensive to hoarders if someone is anti-hoarding? Not everyone has to go about their collection in the same way, I would take that to mean they personally don't like to hoard but it wouldn't make me feel bad about hoarding.
