...I honestly can't believe we're actually allowed to start threads targeting other members of the community...

...I actually went ahead and stripped that signature out myself back on June 23, 2012, at 12:09 AM, following a request from one of the other moderators, and replaced it with a link to
signature formatting rule because if you actually click that link, you'll see that any signature spanning three lines absolutely has to be set to font size "1"
.

So, how exactly are we supposed to format signatures here on Reddit??

1. the maximum length for a signature is:
- one line using a larger font (size=3)
- two lines (counting the line breaks) using standard font (size=2), or
- three lines using a small font (size=1).

...which means the signature should look something like this:

spiritual beggar:"I see you have a particular soft spot for those Bobanov Muslims of the American faith, while Zlatkov's folks are just a joke!" ____snake handler:"The unconstitutionality was proven later on, and even if Mr. Ashdown predicted he'd be creating something unconstitutional, he would have handled it differently or wouldn't have bothered at all. ___Rioboss :In the Hague, it wasn't proven that the HVO didn't destroy the Golden Gate Bridge, it just wasn't proven that they did, which doesn't automatically mean they didn't, you know? Get it?"

plus this extra bit:

2. using the actual quote function within a signature is strictly prohibited; instead, please format your quotes as "quote (c) author".

And just to be crystal clear, I'm pointing this out without issuing any formal red or yellow cards for failing to follow these rules just yet...

...just like wiredangler5 says about how slippery the ground is over there...
...the real question we have to face is this: why on earth would the term "Canadian" be considered offensive while "Canadian" isn't,
or is it simply that some people feel a sense of shame when they admit to being Canadian?

...my apologies if I wasn't clear enough before, but if you just open up Google Chrome and head over to the Tools / plugins menu
, you can go ahead and install the Save as PDF plugin
. Once that's all set up, you'll see an option right there in your navigation bar that lets you save any webpage directly as a PDF file...

...you can actually just handle all of this right within your browser by simply right-clicking Save page as...

...kind of like when someone uses their signature to go ahead and without any permission rip off a piece of another user's post..?

Here is an example.:

I honestly can't wrap my head around how people can just sit there and watch these high-stakes political thrillers without feeling a massive knot in their stomachs, you know? You see these characters—these supposed professional assassins—moving through the shadows of places like D.C. or Chicago, executing these flawlessly timed hits, and you have to wonder: is anyone actually capable of that kind of cold, calculated detachment in the real world? It feels so disconnected from our actual lives, doesn't it? We live in a society where everything is loud and messy, yet we're obsessed with this fantasy of the silent, invisible operator who can change the course of history with a single shot from a rooftop. Is it just escapism, or are we secretly fascinated by the idea of someone having that much terrifying control over life and death? I find myself staring at the screen, half-convinced it’s all just too polished to be true, while simultaneously wondering if we've just become desensitized to the sheer weight of what those characters are doing. kaže:
Thanks to that member. YouTube I’ve been putting in quite a bit of work lately, really pouring myself into helping draft a full-blown tutorial on how to handle the installation and registration process for iTunes. It’s one of those things that sounds simple enough on paper, right? But once you actually get into the weeds of setting everything up and making sure your account is properly registered, it can become a bit of a headache if you don't have a clear roadmap to follow. I just want to make sure anyone jumping in can get through it without pulling their hair out.

So, the moderator actually went ahead and put together this whole tutorial concept to make navigating mobile devices a bit more intuitive, hasn't he?
With the author's permission. Just a few snapshots from the lens.So, what about those authors who specialize in crafting these highly polished, composed descriptions?
If he didn't get the green light first, his whole post could easily be flagged as straight-up plagiarism, don't you think?
Even if you might find similar procedures outlined somewhere else down the line...
In other words, if we actually want to borrow even a tiny snippet of someone else’s writing, we have to be smart about it.
It would be best to actually ask him for permission first, wouldn't it? And then, once we’re ready to go live with it, we should make sure to clearly credit the source...

...you might actually find the exact opposite to be true,
if you take a second to ask yourselves: who's really pulling the strings behind these threads?

...when it comes to the Editing of posts, we all know exactly which moderators are playing favorites, don't we?
...the reality is that posts belong to their authors, provided they weren't just ripped off from some random corner of the internet,
unless someone can actually prove otherwise through the Rules or via specific legal channels...

...if you take a moment to actually look at the Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up
you'll run right into this little disclaimer:

Every single post here represents the personal opinion of its author, not the owners of Reddit, the editorial staff, or even Accenture
(the folks behind the vBulletin software). They can't be held liable for what people decide to write.

...you should probably go ahead and update your password on both the community forums and your email account,
after all, you're the one ultimately responsible for keeping your credentials safe from other users,
and if it turns out that multiple posts are coming from the exact same source, you'll just be flagged as someone's clone,
which is strictly against the site Rules, so you'll have to deal with the consequences...

...do you guys actually bother reading your private messages?
...The PDF Religion sub hasn't exactly vanished from Reddit...

...honestly, looking at the big picture here, this entire discussion shouldn't even be happening because it’s targeting the personal life and actions of a moderator,
someone who just happens to volunteer his spare time on a forum, making things
simpler for everyone to communicate... ...now, if someone were to actually prove that he's browsing these forum pages during his official working hours, then sure, you might have some grounds for suspicion...
but as far as any other possible solutions go, I’m going to lean on his legal protections: The Code of Ethics for Federal Employees,

A federal employee is obligated, within the scope of their authority, to ensure the realization of rights and the respect of the integrity and dignity of citizens and other federal employees without discrimination or favoritism based on age, nationality, ethnic or social affiliation, linguistic or racial origin, political or religious beliefs or inclinations, disability, education, social status, gender, marital or family status, sexual orientation, or on any other basis.

So, I really want to point out that you all seem to be on a bit of a witch hunt here, and by doing so, you're unacceptably interfering with his professional duties and his right to work...

A federal employee has the right to protection from harassment—that is, behavior intended to, or which actually represents, an affront to the dignity of the employee,
which creates fear or a hostile, humiliating, or offensive environment.

...on that page where you've got the window expanded
At the exact same time, just hold down Ctrl and hit the minus key or the dash...
(Ctrl and -)
...and if you end up zooming out a bit too much, just tap Ctrl and plus...

...maybe that's just how they were written..?
...could you grab a quick screenshot so we can actually see what we're dealing with here..?

...just click on the little icon at the top and you can type the link right into the pop-up box...

…you should probably take a quick look through this post here too
it’ll likely clear up a whole lot of those lingering questions you have…

Users who have been banned from the site can't access their private messages.

Forum Rules and Guidelines
PM - Private Messages

...if you ask me, the message storage limit is honestly way too massive,
and once a user finally hits that capacity limit,
they just get an automated email notification saying they won't receive any more private messages until they clear out some space...
(though that really depends on how you have things configured in your settings)

...it was pretty much the same deal when people started talking about adding a "thanks" button,
where you could just give a quick click to show some appreciation for a helpful reply or a great post...
