Nobody has signatures in the JP forums

Nobody has signatures in the JP forums... (lol)
Just thought to mention it cause i just noticed it myself.
It seems we are overkilling the sig thing over here in the English speaking community,
EVERYONE and their moms have a sig over here.

Some do, however most JP message boards are text BBS type which (usually) lacks a signature function.

Some do use but in JP community having a signature is waste of space, most don't care about it, don't even want to see they probably have that feature turned off for most part. I get complaints on 2ch about my subligar sig lol... do I care? Nope!

Ya see, signatures are like business cards. Clearly the guy who made a 600dpi 1480X1900 signature is trying to hand everyone a billboard instead of a business card... and probably knocked over a few guys while doing so. Yeah he needs to get shot.

most JP boards are barebones text, and they tend to post anonymously, so for them, having sigs isn't really a commonplace practice.

Aside from JP boards being text-only, we (NA players) do have our way of displaying our love for the game. Even when it involves messages of truth like my signature. *nod*

I think it just isn't a cultural norm to have a signature when posting on a forum in Japanese. And the feeling of wanting to show who you are, or stand out is just not present so much in Japan.

On the rare occasion when I post on the Japanese side, I usually turn my signature off.

I think what you meant to say was,

Quote:

"The Grand Company leaders standing on a hill, looking pretty whilst entertained by their underlings being slaughtered mercilessly."

I'm quite certain that there was a quaint little table with some tea and crumpets just outside the crop of that particular shot.

I wonder if the Japanese will make an 'everybody has signatures in the English forums' thread.. that would be hilarious to read.

If I could make a cool sig I wouldn't have one this lame =(

Edit: No longer lame =P at least I don't think so

The JPs would go blind from all the colors and moving images in our forums if they suddenly entered.

One look at the amount of pages we have in the sub forum and each thread and their eyes would explode lol

Many peoples signatures take up more space than their comments ever do and they are often more sensible.

Not that everyone with a sig has any achievements in it. it's all like some lol bs or images of their characters.
Well some have the Luminary achievements >.> some have primal speed kills, some have all relics achievements but most!
Have irrelevant stuffs for a sig.

The japanese don't use signitures because anonymity is a common habbit to them on bbs/forums. which is why many bbs/forums from jp don't require registration. and as reinhart said above ppl object to his sig on 2ch because it goes against this.

The reason for allowing anonymous posting was given in an interview with the founder of 2ch in the Japan Media Review:
Q: Why did you decide to use perfect anonymity, not even requiring a user name?
A: Because delivering news without taking any risk is very important to us. There is a lot of information disclosure or secret news gathered on Channel 2. Few people would post that kind of information by taking a risk. Moreover, people can only truly discuss something when they don't know each other. If there is a user ID attached to a user, a discussion tends to become a criticizing game. On the other hand, under the anonymous system, even though your opinion/information is criticized, you don't know with whom to be upset. Also with a user ID, those who participate in the site for a long time tend to have authority, and it becomes difficult for a user to disagree with them. Under a perfectly anonymous system, you can say, "it's boring," if it is actually boring. All information is treated equally; only an accurate argument will work.
