IAscend's signature

[Axel]

I am someone who unfortunately suffers from epilepsy, so I have to be careful what websites I go on, but as I was browsing the forum I saw Iascend's and it started to make my head hurt alot. If it was any more flashy, it could have been worse. So I think flashing sigs like that should be banned from use.

Are you being serious

[@xP]

Lets ban all flashing and animated signatures because one member has epilepsy and has complained.

:rolleyes:

[Alkaz]

Soz but he isnt the only one.

[@xP]

Soz but he isnt the only one.

He's the only one i have come across.

[Alkaz]

I reported this sig in the moderaters forum but had to PM nvrspk.

[Axel]

Well it's not that bad, sorry for reporting it but it's a bit discomforting for some people.

[buttons]

eh, how about no?
maybe get a thing where u can disable saying someones sig.

[Orangeesh]

I find it annoying as well, but I can cope with it.

[buttons]

if you've got epelipsy or whatever, just get offline.

[Black_Apalachi]

Sorry but if it has a bad effect on someone, everyone else can sthu tbh.

[Alkaz]

Why should he? I bet there are things you find offensive/dont like and would like them removed... your still here.

[kk.]

erm, does this mean that you go around peoples houses at christmas saying
"i have epilepsy, do wyou mind turning your christmas lights off?"

[Alkaz]

Its different with different people but sitting closeish to a screen and that pops up it does affect people compared to normal day stuff.

[Black_Apalachi]

if you've got epelipsy or whatever, just get offline.

Woah -rep for that. People better calm down before this turns nasty. Nobody has the right to abuse another member just because they made a request due to a certain problem.

My mum is epileptic so the nasty comments aren't making me too happy.

[GommeInc]

I like the selfish and damn right rude posts coming from aload of these members. He has every right to browse the forum, as does everyone else so stop telling him to go offline. Flashing signatures aren't really needed nor do they appeal to anyone, so if they are reported they are probably safer removed anyway.

+rep :).

[@xP]

I find it pathetic though. Every member on this forum find something little to complain about.

It's imagery. If it's annoying you, Private message the member and ask im politely to remove it. If not, ignore him.

Bringing out a rule for this would be difficult as that rule would be hard to follow. Plus it would be over the top a little.

[Smiddy]

To keep the masses happy, there is an option which you yourself can do to disable all signatures.

Go to "User CP" > "Edit Options" > "Thread display options" > "Visible Post Elements" then disable Signatures, and possibly avatars, since some people do put flashing images in there also.

I hope this resolves the situation for everyone ;)

Good suggestion.

[kk.]

gommeinc, i have a right to post my view on the subject and as such i was pointing out a perfectly relevant point that makes sense. all i was saying was that complaining about that signature is exactly the same as going to a house at christmas for over doing it. but no, he would complain about a signature because its not in person. i know a house near me that could cause many epileptic fits but no-one does anything about it.

unless he has gone to a house and complained i see no reason why that signature must be removed. as far as i am aware, there are no rules for that signature and also it looks the same as a fairy light flashing on and off

(if it was not you that -repped me then this goes to whoever put your name at the end and everyone else)
also, i didnt know there was an option to disable sigs but that can also be the option

[GommeInc]

What if he doesn't want to disable signatures? There could be a rule on it, afterall, loads of people do suffer from it and it's common courtesy not to have flashing imagery on the website (unless there is a warning).

also, i didnt know there was an option to disable sigs but that can also be the option
1. Christmas lights don't cause epileptic fits... The speed isn't adjusted to do so and small flickers of light such from Christmas lights rarely do cause fits.
2. If the people at the house invited someone they knew had epileptic fits, they would of turned them off before hand, tis common courtesy.
3. I don't believe patronising members is considered kind and considerate :rolleyes:

I guess the other option would be to simply look away. That's what a few people I know do when they see anything that sparks a headache (and there onwards a fit), but on a forum are they really needed?

I know, it's not an ideal situation for anyone here.

The only possible solution I could keep for everyone (so, he could keep signatures on show and people could have flashing in their signature) is to have flashing signatures in spoilers?

& thanks @xP :)

[kk.]

yeh but your missing the point, the option is there for signatures to not appear which would remove the problem. its also lascends right to have the image in his sig as long as it is not breaking any rules.
signatures dont really bring about anything else other than a picture and writing so there is no need for them so there is no reason why he cant disable them

[Axel]

I didn't expect this sort of response, thanks for everyone supporting my views but the majority seem to be against me for some reason so I'll just disable signatures.

[french]

He's epileptic/ his friend is.
He's just saying that something hurt his head and that he thinks they should be banned as the epileptic people get real bad headaches etc.

I think his view is a good view, but don't tell him to get offline.
He has every right to be on habboxforum, just like you do..so leave him alone.

No need for the discrimination

[Alkaz]

Why should users who have a problem with it / have epilepsy removed EVERYONES sig's when he could simply remove that image.


Edit image has now been removed.

IAscend is invisable and has removed it

[dannyisnotamazing]

What if he doesn't want to disable signatures? There could be a rule on it, afterall, loads of people do suffer from it and it's common courtesy not to have flashing imagery on the website (unless there is a warning).
Its not a big problem, why do people make small issues seem like such major problems.

No, your right he might not want to disable all signatures but why should people who don't have epilepsy not be allowed to have flashing images? There's nothing wrong with a bit of animation in the signature/avatar, hell halve of people on here have it. If its majorly flashing its still not a problem, just scroll down and ignore it.

It's a problem to him so he should just disable signatures or block the image if he uses Firefox, just because of his problem the whole forum shouldn't suffer and disable flashing images. He can't expect every website he goes on to be suitable to his needs.

im not saying that you should, and im sorry for your condition, all i am saying is that the option is there for signatures to be disabled and also that there are much worse situations that you could complain about but you probably dont.

if hes a kind person then im sure hell remove it for you

[Alkaz]

IAscend is invisable and has removed the image.

[Imnotpure]

Gets me a bit dizzy too :|

[Grimmauld]

he asked politely thus not needing your rude comments please.

[kk.]

i did not mean for my comments to come out as rude as what they did. i was just pointing outsome facts

[lAscend]

Ok regarding this issue with the flashing image im wondering if you can really stand flashing lights at night if a police car had its sirens and lights flashing infront of you NOW! that is alot worse then this pic what is getting me is how can you cope the police lights lol?

My image isnt breaking the rules as it's just a normal flash image like anyone elese on the forum

[kk.]

well at least someone agreed with me :)

[Axel]

Sorry for causing a problem Iascend, I've decided to disable signatures anyway just incase there are any signatures worse than yours. And yes the flashing lights on ambulances and police cars can be bad too but I don't stand right infront of them and stare into them or I would have an injury. I try to look away and keep a distance.
The same could be applied for your signature I guess, just it caused me a bit of discomfort.

But it's different and depends on the person, I suppose. I myself don't have epilepsy so I don't know exsactly but I'd say it's different as the lights are irl and the forum image is pixels, which would probably more annoying, depending on the image.

At least you were good enough to remove it, good move. ;)

I'm not saying it SHOULD have been removed, I was just saying about the police lights and how it may be different. As I said, nice of you to remove the signature.

[Agesilaus]

As it's been said, it's not against the rules to have animated signatures of any kind (providing the signature isn't inappropriatley explicit). It appears that he has taken the issue into consideration and removed the signature for you. Since there is no rule against this specifically at this current time, then there isn't anything that can be done about it. His signature is completely appropriate for the forum and if he wishes to have it in his signature again, there is nothing stopping him from doing so. :)

Edit: Wow three posts at the same time, rofl!

[Axel]

Well if it's not against the forum rules he is entitled to re upload the image, I didn't think there was an alternative to removing the image but Smiddy told me how to disable signatures so it's not much of a problem now.

hahahahaha i dont mean when you stand infront of a police car i mean when you drive past them or they drive past you at night? when your in your car.

OMG THATS HYSTERICALLY HILARIOUS 8-)

[kk.]

axel as someone pointed out, if you are using firefox, you can just block that image from appearing :)

[Alkaz]

Its great that he has been so understanding but i thnk that the speed of the image is a little different to the example you gave.

Anyway its clerd up no so dont flame me.

edit: luke we beat you, 4 posts at the same time.

[Smiddy]

OMG THATS HYSTERICALLY HILARIOUS 8-)
So are your other threads taking the mick out of this 1, but we're not taking the michael out of them are we.

[Axel]

hahahahaha i dont mean when you stand infront of a police car i mean when you drive past them or they drive past you at night? when your in your car.

I don't really go around in a car at night... so I've not had that experience. But as I said before if I do see a siren light I tend to look away. It will cause me a bit of discomfort like your signature did but if I don't stare at it I won't have an injury.

[Agesilaus]

OMG THATS HYSTERICALLY HILARIOUS 8-)

INDEED! :8:8:8


edit: luke we beat you, 4 posts at the same tim3 posts and damn, I should be faster than that. =[

As a possible solution, that i expect will be useful even when browsing other sites, you can simply disable image animations on websites completely.
The easiest way for now is to simply get firefox, install the "web developers tool bar" (http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/)
then select images -> disable images -> Image Animations.

That should solve most gif animation problems while still letting you view normal images on the forums.

[lAscend]

right i have decided to put it in the spolier so click at it at your own free will! :)

[Paulio]

Yet you play WoW wich contains a hell of a lot more flashing images.

[Conorx0]

It's not even a good signature to begin with lol

[Axel]

Wow doesn't have flashing images...

[Grimmauld]

:rolleyes: have not seen one movement at all!

[nvrspk4]

if you've got epelipsy or whatever, just get offline.

Wow. Harsh. Way to be accomadating of other members. Would you say to someone in a wheelchair, if you're disabled or whatever, just get out of school, or don't come in this building, because you'd have to build a wheelchair ramp?



Anyway, on the issue at hand, IMO the slightly flashing things are ok, things that flash more (like lAscend's, even without epilepsy I can see it is about extreme flashing) should be allowed, but treated as lAscend did, put in a spoiler with a warning. That way people can enjoy it if they wanna without inconveniencing epileptics.

[Wootzeh]

If you're using Firefox, you could use Adblock to block the image :)

[Black_Apalachi]

It's not even a good signature to begin with lol

Exactly! :P Idc whether or not it's against he "rules" just remove it and stop being so petty.

However, the Firefox idea sounds good :).

[John!]

Animated sigs should be aloud but the epilepsy (sp?) ones shouldn't.

[Paulio]

I forgot, you can disable avatars and signatures yourself in user cp.

user cp >> options >> thread display options >> untick the boxes.

[Minstrels]

if you've got epelipsy or whatever, just get offline.
You live in Scotland, get offline.

[Typoh]

There we go, i belive he should be able to have it. it's hardly that flashy.

Don't remove his signature because of 1 or 2 people that's pathetic. o.o

Disable viewing signatures if it is a problem then? (to the thread owner)

[Conorx0]

Then everythings fine. ;]
Lol at your sig

but wot da point in the warnin cos by time u've read that u've already seen the flashin images

[Typoh]

kk ill remove that more space for more images uhh :P

yeah -rep if u hate my sig i ent botherd. i got 2 rep pmsl.

i am posting the images on purpose. some people cant just live with flashes.

I suggest you disable signatures from showing on posts etc. You can do this in your usercp -> options.

Your signature is breaking a rule.

Limit the size of the pictures in your signature - VIP members are allowed to have as many pictures as they want in their signature, as long as they are below each other, each picture is not wider than 700 pixels, and the total height of all pictures together is not more than 300 pixels.

Yours is 800 x 600. You are only aloud 700 x 300.
