IAscend's signature

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

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).

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 :)

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

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.

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

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

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

IAscend is invisable and has removed the image.
