I think that would be fine, unless you or the coffee machine were standing to be the next Pres of the USA 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I never pay to eliminate the ads either. The only thing I pay for is Second Life. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) So anyway, I've decided not to advertise my guy for president in my signature so this thread has run it's course.

Gabriele Graves Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 FWIW I still think it would be great if we could get an official ruling from @Quartz Mole on this. We all think we know the answer but to have that set down means much more in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did. I posted hoping that Quartz doesn't see the OP's decision about their advertising and subsequence declaration about how the topic has run it's course as an indication that obtaining said information for us is no longer necessary. I'd like to see it regardless. Edited August 28, 2023 by Gabriele Graves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it regardless. Understood. Hopefully by tagging them, they see the reminder and we get an update sooner. In one of my recent posts, I outlined a "chain" of logic why someone may think it is OK to do "thus-and-so" (Signature for Roleplay==> ==> ==> ==> RL Candidate), basically there I attempted to show how it is somewhat ludicrous. I personally hope that the Lab "Authorities" (Governance or whoever) see it the same way. And say, "NAY". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The answer is so obvious IMHO, Quartz should not even have to bother. No politics in the forum is part of the guidelines, that clearly means no politics in the signature too. Why would there be another outcome? Advertising ones store is the only mentioned exception for signature lines. So what needs to be clarified? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a little "wiggling" where the OP may have suggested they were going to advertise their Store, which perhaps was going to sell "Roleplay" Political signs, that happened to reflect "Real Life" Political candidates..? The "wiggling" threw people off a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Graves Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 An official statement is always the last word on policy where it hasn't been stated before. It may be obvious to some but clearly wasn't to the OP and may not be to others. Having an official statement removes any doubt (hopefully). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moles Quartz Mole Posted August 28, 2023 Moles Share Posted August 28, 2023 @BilliJo Aldrin @Gabriele GravesI've checked and the answer is an emphatic "No" on mentioning any RL political candidates or their campaigns in Forum Sigs. However, mentioning your RP Campaign Headquarters in a sig is OK, so long as there's no indication in the sig of the RL candidate or cause you're campaigining for or against. I hope that clarifies things for everyone. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
