Criteria in Signatures on forums

[RudeTony]

What are peoples feelings about signatures and what they include?

With many not actually knowing each other apart from just a name on a forum, should there be a criteria where there is a part in everyone's signature to state for example ability (like F1-2-3 etc)
Should some say for example, 1 years experience and so on?

Your thoughts.......and a pole

Anything you like :-)

Tricky as f grading doesn't always count for ability (you're f1 and I'm f5 yet we've finished inches apart). Likewise someone can have 20 years experience and be rubbish.

Shying away from wanting sponsors as with my job(s) and young family I can't commit to racing at all events (I entered 6 regionals last year and only got to two of them) I put my work websites in my signature instead.

I don't know how to change the polling
It should really include - name and past achievements after re-thinking about it
BUT
As for a F5 and a current F1 being inches apart - not sure about that

All about opinion i guess

Agreed with this one, however people will still "abuse" it.. Joe Bloggs, Jimmy Carter, Jim Morrison, David Beckham and so on.

I don't like the extra long sigs, not many about on here.

Real Names and clubs raced at are useful.

Ps I voted I don't care!

Someone has too much free bloody time on his hands. This is the most pointless thread I've seen for a while.



Thanks

I don't really care but I have always thought if people want free speech or to disagree with someone etc they should have the balls to put their name in your sig or somewhere. Plus its handy for when you meet people in person!

Seems to be a winner!

Thing is quite a lot of valuable contributors on here aren't high level racers at all, but do run clubs, series etc. Without them there would be no racing, so an F rating does them no justice at all.

And then you've got the likes of Bigred - who isn't an F1 but pits for someone who is.

F-ratings tell people how good you are at controlling your car, but nothing else.

Absolutely agree, some of us have decades of experience, are very perfectionist on their cars, can set a car up well, understand how the hobby works, understand tech/engineering issues and will happily help others with advice... but are not high F graded drivers.

Driving ability does not necessarily mean ability to set a car up or understand how they work!

On the other hand, the good old t'internet doesn't filter the clueless kids and newbies that post horrendous advice which could lead to others wasting money as well as time.

oOple is fantastic being a high level of experienced enthusiasts on here helping out.

The name thing is a funny one, agree with James really, shouldn't be an issue as none of us should have anything to hide (apart from minging faces!)
