Small Rules update!

Hi people, just a small information about a Rule Update here:
We have slightly changed our signature rules:
Rules wrote:It is forbidden to place another user's username or any information regarding another user in your signature, unless you have that user's explicit permission to do so.
If you feel like adding someone to your shop's blacklist etc. please keep the names to your personal threads. It is unnecessary to shed bad blood like this in public and does not help keeping up the friendly community atmosphere we wish to aim for.
Thanks for noticing and understanding.
Firn

It's sad that we need to add such a rule <_<
What are people thinking? o_o

What if it's not negative? I have PenguinScreams' username in my signature, and he has mine in his as an inside joke. Is that okay?

I think that's ok, because you BOTH do that as joke...so both of you have the permission from the other one, or am I wrong?

Yes, as long as you have permission it's okay.
This rule was added to prevent public black-mouthing.

Well, we didn't really ask. I put it in without asking him and then he put it in afterwards to match mine. But I haven't heard a complain so it's an... implicit permission, I guess?

Yes, it's okay like this.
Don't worry too much.
This rule is really for signatures like "I don't like X,Y,Z", "Blacklist= X,Y,Z", "X, is an ass" etc... Basically for negative things about other users that are completely unnecessary to state in public.

Thanks Firn, that's definitely a good rule to have.
It really is kinda sad that it had to be added, though.
