What Are Acceptable Words In My Forum Signature? - Some More Questions...regarding sigs & avatars

Byaja
Hi, I was wondering about how far can i go with swearing in sigs and avatars?

Because my sig i usually use has a swear word in it and so does my avatar, also do you allow animated gifs as avatars being used?

Notice from BuffaloHELP:
Topic title...topic title...topic title... Nope, it didn't change. So I did.

Animated Avatars are acceptable. (check our Admin Buffalohelp's avatar)

There is a word censor in effect on the Trap17. If the 'swear words' are acceptable to the Word Censor, chances are that the expression would be fine, however, if the Word Censor alters the word, we would ask that you change the expression. Post the expression as a test case in the Test Forum to see if the Censor picks up on it.

Use the Report button to have a Moderator delete the Test Topic when you are finished.

Although there are exceptions to rules, in this case swearing in sigs and avatars are against those rules so it would be a good idea to remove those words on this forum since this is a professional hosting site and professional forum with very young people on here. Since swearing is not allowed in the shoutbox or in the forums, having those words in your sigs and avatar would be breaking the same rules.

Swear in Signature?

I don't mind, but I don't think to every people that should read your signature has the same opinion like me.

So, is better to have a more "formal" signature, instead of have a lot of complaints about some people that feels hurt by your signature.

Dude you don't have to think that much about your avatar or signature.... just write what you want and it'll turn it ok. But I would try to keep swear words or dirty jokes and stuff out of my sig as I want to keep my sorta still good name the way it is... that's just me man, do what you want and you'll turn out ok

Why would you wanna swear? unless your pissed off at someone, there is no reason to swear. I say to swear on a sig or avatar is ghetto, but some may think it is acceptable. I would consider, not to swear because its a random useless thing to do. if you don't want the swear word in it you can probable ask someone to edit for you to make it looks like its part of the background or something.

    Ok, I'm going to start off by asking a question to OpaQue and the mods here at Trap 17. Before
    you read this this isn't trying to down this site or trying to tell you guys how to run this.
    I'm just wondering, however, why the Entertainment forums and sub-forums, and also the Life-Talk
    forums and sub-forums isn't included in gaining credits, unless I'm mistaken, but if
    there's no post count then that would mean you don't get credits right? I think that would

    I shot a glance at the trap17 hosting account form and I saw there were some personal questions,
    questions that I, and I'm sure others, do not feel comfortable answering. Things like where one
    lives and age, and I do not see how this information benefits trap17 or in anyway correlates to free
    hosting. However, I may be wrong, I was just wondering, do I have to disclose that specific of
    information? I do not appreciate being put into uncomfortable situations like this, so I am
    wondering if perhaps a high-ranked trap17 member could answer my questions, and perhaps make....

    configure that to my trap17 free hosting account (I don't have one at the moment)? Or with
    trap17 hosting account am I limited only to subdomains? 2) How many hosting credits do you lose if
    you do not post one day? I'm just wondering for the future, to make sure befor....
