| | | Reminder on signature length (PLEASE READ)
This is a reminder to everyone that the first rule in the Signature Requirements is that they be "no more than 10 lines of text or the equivalent if a picture is included." Many members are still well over that limit, so please edit your signature to fit with the limit if it currently does not.

In case a further reminder was needed, all non-conforming signatures will be edited to conform in the next couple of days. So unless you want it done for you- which will probably include random deletion of text - edit it yourself.

Don't you guys have better things to do than edit signatures on a message forum? Most members have creative signatures, but are seldom any longer than Fred's 10-liner.

| We do have better things to do, but the extreme length of signatures causes threads to be overly long, take up too much space (often the sign is longer than the post) and generally clutter the board.

| Ryan, don't you have anything better to do than criticize what the Admins and Mods are doing? Really? They have their reasons, brother. The Puritan Board is not a democracy :P  .

Yeah, the Puritanboard is a dictatorship of the proletariat. Well, I cut out poor Martin Luther for brevity's sake even though I doubt it was that long before... and now my signature is less Reformed than it was before.
:P

Actually, the Puritan Board is run by a plurality of Admins (Elders). :P

Blessings,

Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age.

| Yours is fine. Regarding the space, I have no idea...I've actually wondered that myself at times, since different people's appear to be different lengths for some reason.

I liked it tighter and the space is still there after Symington's quote.
