Post Posting Quality, New Rules and Signatures
Hey guys, just giving you a quick little update about what's been going on here. I'm currently in the process of working on some major updates, although I'm taking my time because I'm on vacation right now. Actually, I'm not even going to talk about it, let's talk about some stuff that affects you now.

Posting Quality
I know our forums aren't packed to the brim with users, but this doesn't mean that quality of posted content should decline. I've also noticed a number of users posting nice little one word/phrase and calling that a post. I'm not going to make a new rule out of it, but I'm going to kindly remind everyone that you shouldn't post on a topic unless you have something meaningful to contribute to it.

Also, there are now more specific options for reporting a post. Now you can specify which rule the user is breaking instead of just clicking "Other". This will give our moderators a better idea of what they should be looking out for.

New Rule - No NX Begging or Affiliate Links
I didn't even think I had to say this, but a number of users are starting to beg for NX gifts. This is simply uncalled for. It is no longer allowed to ask for NX gifts for any reason, including "review" and "testing". If you want some NX, go buy some online or at the store.

Another some-what related rule update is regarding affiliate links. Affiliate links are not allowed on our forums. Links to websites like Neobux, PrizeRebel and GamingLagoon that contain referral IDs are not allowed period. I may be willing to be flexible with this rule for areas other than NX, but please ask a moderator (or me) before posting any affiliate link.

Signatures
I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little bored of our signatures. Is anyone interested in making some new ones? I'm talking about these:

If you want to give it a try, feel free to PM me a completed example. If I like it, I'll go ahead and add it to the line up. I'd prefer if they weren't watermarked with your name, but if you can make it flow nicely with a watermark go for it. VIP Status will be granted to exceptional submissions.

Sorry there are no major updates, guys and gals.
Thanks for reading!

Good job. Yeah, I've been noticing that happening a lot, and I'm sure I was doing it some. Hmm... I'll try to make a sig, is that good?

It would be really nice for the signatures if there was a system / program that allowed us to upload our own pic and it would convert that pic as the background, like they do for things like this :

Lmao...This reminds me I still have to completely update my profile there. Only went through checking half of all the anime I've ever watched.

I'll get you a few designs. Are there specific dimensions you want? Also, what would you like me to do in terms of the information section, should I just leave that out or would you like me to make one before hand?

I want to give signature designers as much freedom as possible. You can use whatever dimensions you want and you can include whatever data you want (that is, anything inside of player's profile on the Nexon website).

I'd like to see a completed example of how your signature would look while you are using it (just put in your own name and data as a sample). Feel free to use whatever fonts you want. Just make a note that font rendering might be a little different, so don't go too nuts on font effects.
