Dicepoint Sigs - Page 3

I have to take Hamma's side on this one. You don't got to someone else's forums and ask them to change their rules to meet your needs. It's like joining a CS server with FF on and demanding it be turned off because you don't like FF.

It's completely absurd.

i htink my post my be misunder stood, i mean that the small sig is no longer availible from DP not that the sigbot eats it, i Also agree with hamma

It's becoming more and more apparent there will be no dicepoint sigs on PSU, perhaps we are both stubborn who knows. All I know is these are the PSU forums and I am the admin, I set policy on these forums not Dice. He doesent want to accept that so his sigs will not be seen.

It's kind of like walking into Wal-Mart with no shoes and no shirt, then standing in front of the no shoes no shirt no service sign and demanding they change the rules.

I like Dice Points sig's if I can't use them here then I can't. The stuff worth reading is above the sig.

(best smiliey I seen in a while)

I cite the following post: http://planetside-universe.com/forum...&threadid=1724 dated 1-21-03
This is how long this policy has been in effect.

Dice knows a large number of his users are PSU users.
Dice designs a sig which exceeds the standard.
Dice is made aware that his sigs exceed the standard.
Dice continues to develop a sig which he knows will break a standard which predates his sigs very existence.
Dice then complains because it's so much work to change, since Hamma won't grant his demand to change a nearly year old standard?
Dice - what's wrong with this picture?

I personally like dicepoint sigs - but I don't understand the mentality.
I would have thought one would have designed to the existing standard first, then offer larger ones for those forums which allow them. Why purposely exclude one of the larger fan bases - seems counter-productive to me?

I just posted the same thing on the dicepoint forums:

The problem here is that this is not just a PSU problem. There are several other "smaller" forums that do not allow it as well. PSU is just a major fan site and gets all the attn.....If I were to say my small 40 user forum doesn't allow these sig...could you change them to x 400. That would be obserd!! But with PSU it becomes more relevent because of the user population.

Now the suggestion that I have is to have 2 different types of certs....x400 and x500(as to not change the exsisting ones cause they rock on sites they work at). Take the face out of the x500 and replace it with the empire ensignia and cut off the end. You could even just make it basice like the 1st dicepoint sigs.

Also people...try to keep in mind that Dice is doing this for nothing...this is a FREE service. So if he doesn't do its.....oh well...don't down him for it. But also do not down hamma for not changing his rules on the other end of the due to 1 sig.

I understand both sides but I hardly think there are any trolls here. When trolls come they dont last long, most of these people just have strong opinions. Both of you have requests and both of you arn't budging or making progress. All I have to say is thats that and if you could ever get around to it Dice, making the sigs standard would be great.
