In fact, it’s already possible for staff if I’m not mistaken. I do see a reason how this could get abused/exploited; Putting inappropriate pictures in your signature. This might be the reason why they don’t actually allow other players to have this. I personally don’t think anyone else should have access to that featured, because of that reason.

Hye Ender, I currently voted no.
There's no other opinions yet, so I couldnt really use these to make a decision.
I voted no because; the forums could look a little more chaotic if all these images started to pop up on your screen, I myself find that a little annoying.
(And it's an exclusive staff feature I thought, if you look at Story, Priley and Younisco?)
Tho, I can surely change my mind if I've read more opinions!

I see what you mean, but people can write inappropriate things, or post them on forums, since I have never seen these things I am assuming there is a filter and that could be used for signatures aswell?

I see your point, but Hypixel forums does it quite well and it isn't as cluttered as you may think.

And to address both of your issues, this could be limited to more active forums members so that alts are not made to abuse this and post inappropriate images, and so that the forums page isn't as cluttered with images.

It's not just the abuse that worries me. It's the amount of players that will use it. If this was available to every single forum member it would basically clutter the threads. Focusing on messages would be a lot harder with flashy images as a forums signature. Maybe instead have it accessible to Plus+ members only which will fix the problem of clutter and abuse.

In addition to this, a size limit should also be set. The image you provided is simply too big to be a signature. Something around @Younisco's signature would be a more appropriate size.

Same could be said about profile pictures. That's not a reason not to have the feature though

I guess, but still. Also, like said above: All the images and GIFs could take up the entire thread page and reduce concentration on reading. They do take up quite some space. I still don't feel like it's a good idea to give regular members access to this. If added though, I'd say only for Plus members, not regular members. This could also be another cool reason to buy Plus. Same goes for animated profile pictures.

I 100% support making this a Plus only feature! But the issues you mentioned wouldn't necessarily be a problem if we limit it to a certain size or alternatively make it so members have to click something like "Click to reveal full image" (a bit like with quotes, I believe?)

There are a few flaws with this. People could use inappropriate images in their signature - that is one. Also, the forums would be crammed with random pictures, making threads a little more ‘inaccessible’ Staff do have this permission as they would not abuse it.

I am on board with this 100%. I always thought pictures/GIFs in signatures would be amazing but I barely ever saw them so I didn't know how annoying it could be. I checked the Hypixel forums a couple days ago and so many people had huge pictures in their signatures. It's distracting and most of the time it's bigger then the actual post itself.
Even with a size limit, it can be distracting. However, if they ''hide'' the picture, I'm fine with it.

Inappropriate images is however not a reason I voted no. I'd like to just make that clear. That's a terrible argument.

Uhm, to be honest I don't know what to vote. At one hand, it would be nice to have a photo on your signature like a Youtube banner. At other hand, it would probably be used by a incredible amount of players.

Just don't know what to vote. I'll think about it

I like the idea, but it's kinda disturbing and unnecessary so I personally wouldn't want to see it for other members then staff. It also could be easily abused, used to advertise or for an inappropriate picture. If they ever add it in the future it will be best to add it only for plus members since it will look chaotic if too many people used it.

Please, please, please tell me how using images in signatures is bad idea due to it being abused.
Don't get me wrong, I'm against the idea but that's because it's distracting and takes up a lot of space... But please tell me how ''it can be abused'' is a good argument against the idea?
I can put the IP to a random server in my signature already, I can put an inappropriate picture as my profile picture already.. There are already ways to advertise and share inappropriate images, it's not even hard.

Yeah, but it will be even easier when doing this, and like Robin said, it will become very, and I mean very, chaotic, as it is not a spoiler. I think this could be implemented however, so I voted yes, because I think staff can tweak some things to this suggestion. This would be easily possible for members as well if:

- They have a few hours of online time on this forum
- They have a rank, to prevent users from abusing it and people with a rank often do not advertise. Although this could be seen as discrimination, this is only cosmetic and thus I do not care.

There is one main thing that I want to see together with this, and that is the size of the imgaes. The signature should not be too big, smaller than the spoiler you showed. In that case, I think it is possible to implement this and it would be very fun, as it makes each player even more unique.

It's not like I explained my feelings towards this idea in a different post on this thread.. It's in the same post you quoted.. You don't need to explain to my why this is a bad idea, I know it is. But it's not because it can be abused. You claim it'll be easier to share things that are against the rules, but this really isn't the case. If they add this, they'll most certainly add a size limit. You'll need to create or find a picture to add to your signature, but also make sure it's the right size.
It's much easier to just throw the IP of a server in your signature.. So, no, it's not easier to abuse.

Another thing, giving this feature to ranks only, is still a bad idea. It still takes up too much space and is still distracting. The only way this is a good idea, is by automatically making it a spoiler.

So I voted yes. I believe staff members are skilled enough to find the best ways of implementing this.
