asriel,

When did you begin making signatures?:

Just after I joined :3

Do you have an signature shop?:

I used to, but I got too busy doing performing arts so I had to shut it down

Irisid, I'd like to sign up!

is it autoaccept?

Yes it is.

Okay, thanks!



I need some opinions on my signature, I also can't decide whether I should have the strips of black inside or outside of the images

[taffy;]

@asriel,
I love Asriel omg
I think they should stay inside, since
the outer images are rounded C:
also, the border should be bigger to be
as tall as the images

On my desktop, they're the same size as the images, but I'm not sure about PC, so I don't know which I should do... but I know that on mobile they look smaller

@asriel,; consider putting everything in a /left command so it looks closer and... less spaced? neater?

Clique control.

I really hate doing this. But it is beginning to get out of control.

This isn't a rant post but more a warning post.
We don't want to be closed down because 'cliques' and 'elitist' points of view are being put across but unfortunately there have been a few inboxes lately to me and a few other outside postings that have prompted me to say this much. I am going to say this once, and from now I will just link back to this post.

From Here I urge you all to read down.

Wenom, Aaron✦ and myself fought long and hard to get this signature fanclub open so signatures can have a place to be discussed in a control warm and friendly environment, for all skill levels. I am aware that yes there can be communication problems between new people and those who are veterans, I have made bloopers myself like an idiot. But, we need to start evening up the playing field a little.

I haven't been online for a bit other than doing little things and mostly working behind the scenes with Digitally Distinct projects and dealing with shenanigans on... a former site I was on and going back though the pages, I realize what is happening and if anything I am sorry for provoking it because I know I had a huge hand in doing this.

You guys see, the general ideological philosophy I had with critique and handing out said critique was to try and make it fair. For those who are new to the thread or coding in general, I wouldn't critique them at all, I would say their signature is great and identify all the good parts about it. Depending on their signature there is only so much I can do with these comments depending on how much the person did. I am sure this is relatable to everyone.

When a person with more experience posts, the more commentary I give to that person to develop their skills more. I gradually pull out little parts of one's signature from my pov so the person can learn and begin to understand the language that essentially is Signature creation. And yes, I am aware that there will be a lot of people who go 'HTML code is a lot harder to learn' etc etc, each to their own; however I only speak about this community and to those who use this thread, which this involves digital media, bbs coding and commentary in general.

I will keep the persons who have pm'd me anonymous, however there are fears of cliques appearing in the thread which I have noticed. This will not last and I will not allow it to last. There are those who come into the thread to only comment on a friends signature and to bugger off again until they ask for a comment themselves or again comment on a friends signature. [Note this is underlined because this is the basis beginning of the problem that is beginning to occur.] This is causing cliqueism [And elitism depending on the circumstance it is used in again, and this was one of the factors which took down previous signature clubs. I know, because I helped pull it down.

So. Until I discuss it with the thread mods in more depth, I encourage you all to treat each other equally no matter the skill, critique those like you will critique your friends as best you can. Chances are we may make a rule to counteract the clique elitism given the performance over the last 10 + pages. [I edit this to add it is more like from page 500 -> now.]

And again I apologize for provoking it, because I know I did in many ways. I see the error of my ways in this and I hope I do not do this again.

The biggest thing I want to mention is:
If you feel like something is happening and you don't like it PM thread mods and we can talk about it.

Making a post on Tumblr or otherwise is not the best way to get your point across because it shows you are more interested in ranting about it in a public setting than making a small comment to me or the other thread mods about it, when the situation can be dealt with swiftly. I cannot speak of all the thread mods when I say this but I am not here as thread mod to make a song and dance about it, The role I have is to ensure that everyone is as a ok within this thread as possible. That is my top priority in every thread I own, and to do that I need for you guys to contact me in private. This is a lot more effective in eliminating a problem or finding a solution.

Thank you.


FAQ:

• Am I telling you to go away if you are only here to comment on your friend signature.
  
  No. Instead I am making this public so you can take this to PM or comment on many other people's signatures at the same time. I don't expect you to go all out but at least make a comment, I don't want to have to be in a discussion with the thread mods about this situation and doing some sort of damage control over it.
• Am I suggesting that the coders in here are all elitists and am I labeling as such?
  
  No. This label has been slapped onto us by previous signature experiences and unfortunately those who have been around as long as I have will know this to be the case. *Mods have called us this. So... Uh... Yeah.*
• What happens if people continue to do this... 'elitist behaviour?'
  
  Please PM one of the thread mods and we will discuss what course of action to take in regards to the situation. It is our job to deal with this as best and as effectively as we can.
• What kind of behaviour falls under 'Elitist / Clique...ness'?
  
  The following:
  
  • People replying to friends only. [Clique behaviour]
    
  • People making very long paragraphs for friends only. [Clique behaviour]
  • Treating newer coders differently compared to experienced coders. [Please treat everyone equally.]
  Please Note that I know that some of these sound blunt and a stretch. Doing it every so often where you reply shortly to people or otherwise is not going to land you in hot water, it is when it is done constantly, where it has a chance of influencing others, which causes the problems to arise.

Opinions on my sig?

It looks very good.
The only thing is, it doesn't fit on my screen. What ever is on the right side, is pushed down (In both forum posts and on your profile), and your gifs of the girl on the left are a little out of sync, but it looks cool nonetheless.
To fix the right side, try making this sentence size 85, because it is pushing that column over more than it should:

PM me for a free signature
sorry i will be semi-inactive for a while

Either way, your colour palette is very appealing, and the layout draws your eyes from left to right.

@Asriel

The reason the borders are the same size as the images on your screen, and smaller than the images on someone else's screen, could have something to do with the browser you are using. I know that people who use Internet Explorer and code with symbols might see that it looks perfect on their screen. However, people who see that person's signature will see that the coding is more spaced out or jumbled together due to being on Google Chrome or Firefox. Therefore when someone uses Internet Explorer as their default browser, as not as many people do compared to people who use Chrome or Firefox, they might become confused when someone says "the signature doesn't fit all the way for me", or "some of the symbols are a little off" or even "the borders aren't the same height as the images". Know what I mean? Of course, I could always provide you a screen shot from my point of view if you wanted to take a look at how maybe most of us on this thread see it.

@hinata.

the right image pushes
down on my screen, but other than that
it's a very vibrant and well coded sig, I
really love it! It's super pretty, and the
theme is also v nice.

@asriel,

gahhh I should have answered you
earlier about the borders, but Bev pretty
much explained everything ;w;
but on another note, I feel like those borders should
be colored to match the images, maybe a dark
pink or purple

@jyushimatsu.

cHILD
THAT SIG IS BEAUTIFUL
I want your coding skills omg
I love the style of the sig, it's
super noice, and the Japanese
quotes just AHHH, add to it
so much, really nice job C;

[xercesblue]

you as the person who is the
one that just goes on to ask

ne every now and then...

'll try to be more active!!!
