My signature has been removed twice - Trisomy 21 - Jan 16, 2015
It's not a huge issue, but I'm wondering why my signature has been removed twice without any notification.
My signature was simply:
Code
35 chars 35 chars 35 charsI went over the Help Docs that have to do with profile violations and don't see where I broke a rule.
Code

Just a wild guess but maybe it was removed because it was "LQ"?

It looks really low quality, and you're not allowed to post that.
It doesn't look like a signature, but a post and it encourages the same behavior for other members.

There's no rule that says what you choose to say in your signature can't be ""LQ"". I assumed we could do what we wanted with the 255 characters as long as it didn't break any specified rules.

I'm not sure that is why, I'm just pretty much assuming as there would be no other reason I could think of.

Then 50% of the signatures here could be removed. :)

i dont see it as a problem wtf you guys on about 'lq signature' hurrr gaaayyyy
he payed for the right to have an image signature i think he should be able to write 35 chars in his signature
it doesnt bypass the char count or break any rules from what i can see
if his signature is lq then what the fuck is mine

You can't write 35 characters in posts, and the signature make it appear as a part of the post.

For the third time, where does it say my signature has to meet a required quality as long as it complies with the rules? And nothing I did bypassed a character limit.

Maybe because it encourages other people to write LQ posts such as "35 chars".

What? Does your signature encourage members to randomly write psyduck at the end of their posts? I fail to see the connection.

We can't read the staff member's mind. Please PM a staff member and they will be able to tell you what the reason was or if there was a mistake made.
Strictily speaking, if your signature was really just "35 chars", then I can't think of a specific rule that it was violating. However context is important and only the responding staff member would know what that was.
