Consdier this as me honking my horn... at you.

I'd rather annoy you with my music in my siggy than my gear.​

gear sigs are there that way people don't have to ask you what gear you use to take the pictures that you do.

I don't think I've ever seen someone ask "what camera did you use?", it's always "what were your settings?" I'm gonna have to agree with Big Twinkie on this one.

why does it matter to you what others do?

This question always cracks me up.

If you didn't care what anyone did, then you shouldn't have any issue with me walking up and punching you in the face, right?

Too extreme and targeted, I suppose. How about this?

What if I stop my car on the street to talk to the driver of another car in the opposing lane, totally blocking off traffic when you're trying to go somewhere?

Maybe that's too extreme, too.

What if I stick my legs out and lean back, blocking the path of passers by?

No one would ever do that, though, right?

What if I'm not paying attention and my watch is reflecting the sun in people's eyes?

...

What it all boils down to is people affect other people, and sometimes in ways that are unpleasant. People piping up to share their displeasure with whatever actions is a good thing. It informs other people that whatever they are doing isn't liked by someone else. If lots of people share their dissatisfaction, then the behavior may change. If it's just periodic, it may not.

The alternative is things like my wife getting cut off on the highway to the point of nearly having a rather serious accident... but she won't honk the horn because that would be "rude". Kinda ridiculous.

People should care what others do, and your trying to discredit the post by calling that into question is very poor behavior if you ask me. Consdier this as me honking my horn... at you.

common sense the question would be situation based. as far as this wtf is it his business what people put in there sig? your moving your mouse a extra half a second to get past it. if your time was that valued you wouldnt be on a photo forum to begin with..

I thought the forum rules forbid gear lists in sigs, and asks that it be put in your profile.

Who pays attention to the rules anyway...

I actually couldn't find a single link to 'the rules'... That can only mean that there aren't any...

Please direct me to the sticky or area of the forum that tells us what the rules are...

(You would think that there would be a link on the homepage... If there is, I don't see it.)

There is a link on hte homepage - on the right hand list of menus under the FAQ title (rather than site rules)
The Photo Forum - Photography Discussion Forum - FAQ

and it only says "Lengthy lists of camera gear should be put in your user profile, not in your signature."

so its pretty much up to the mods to deem your list too long on the site - I suspect its aimed more at people who post a long multi line list of items

Thanks for posting that, Overread.

There's nothing in there about signatures... There is also nothing in there about 'NSFW' pictures, and I know that was recently (well, maybe not recently...) banned.

I see nothing in writing that says I can't post NSFW images here. Or that I can't have a signature 12 lines long...

EDIT
I just saw the thing about "lengthy" signatures... What is "lengthy" though? Sounds pretty open ended to me...

 

[Overread]

There is also a mention on the size of images in signatures as well as a few other things - also as I said its an open ended point and thus left to the moderations/site admin's discretion. This is probably simpler than giving a fixed value which could be open to abuse or prove to be a point of contention with the community.

As for NSFW I believe there is a sticky somewhere that details that change, but yes a policy like that should be more clearly mentioned in the rules of the site.

Somehow I suspect the irony is lost on you.

 

[XCountryGuy]

Stated more obviously, why not just turn off signatures if they become annoying?

Some people actually have interesting or amusing quotes.
