Care to explain what specifically is wrong with it? I figure the text and background colors are mismatched, that seems to be a commonality with most of my work.

Dude, the concept of my worded sig is better than graphics.

colour harmony between foreground and background
lack of readible and legible text due to the size and colour

these are the worst components to your design.

think of designing something like telling a story, what do you want to focus on?
the background should be less in value, colour & intensity then the foreground in the most common approach to creating an illusion.

perhaps all you need to do is to do a little study on colour harmony to improve that facet of your design.

From an AUssie, omg. Thanks Megaton for the belowness.
Quote: "[insert innocent Ausie joke bellow]

An Englishman wanted to become an Irishman, so he visited a doctor to find out how to go about this. "Well" said the doctor, "this is a very delicate operation and there is a lot that can go wrong. I will have to remove half your brain". "That's OK" said the Englishman. "I've always wanted to be Irish and I'm prepared to take the risk".

The operation went ahead but the Englishman woke to find a look of horror on the face of the doctor. "I'm so terribly sorry!!" the doctor said. "Instead of removing half the brain, I've taken the whole brain out". The patient replied, "No worries, mate!!""

Okay, here's whats wrong with the sig:

-The pattern behind is somewhat low quality, as if it's been stretched from a smaller image. It's also very unpleasant to look at.

-The text and background are indeed mismatched.

-The text is difficult to read and lacks antialiasing (from what I can tell).

Indi makes sense (altho my sig is crap, but I didn't make it) The background works, but it just don't work with the foreground, try a colour scheme that will make it more readable, it looks like you put a lot of effort into the background, so I would just play with it in photoshop with filters, transperancy etc to try and make it work with the foreground, or find a better foreground colour, green with a black outline would be readable, but green would not work with the silver

I wouldnt have erased it. abusing power is for the weak minded
post your next attempt once you have studied some colour harmony, I guarantee if you do a little study it will pay off.

anyone who abuses power is weak minded, no clause, no secret agenda, pure statement.

I cant see why it would be removed, I cannot speak for cattle or his actions, my opinion is just one of millions. I however dont agree with the action taken.

Personally I would have encouraged any user to improve the skills they have with helpful advice, at least then I would have something to look at with some effort from the user who created it while surfing this place, improving the overall look of this place and the developers who dwell here.

People who are encouraged into developing code and or creating art, usually stop spamming this place with nonsense and in turn might teach one other person, the whole thing snowballs in the right direction instead of negative actions damming up the creativity.

People who are not encouraged, usually build resentment towards the language and the mods who they feel treat them wrongly etc.., this in itself is an excercise in negative practices which in turn allows no one to move forward. This leads to more spam and more waisted time for mods.

If each mod is a reflection of the others, then im dissapointed our image has been tarnished with older wiser members who would read such material.

I agree with indi. Such a decision should not be made unless the signature is causing some form of harm. An abusement of power is a surprise when the abusement of power has come from a mod.

Really when i read the post i can see that he didn't say he was removing it until after you deleted it, just said he was going back to the drawing board.

But anyways who cares? He could easily add the image back as his sig if chooses to do so and i could see where this could have been nothing more then just a joke. I don't think it was meant to be abusive on purpose.

I got the joke. It's kind of like your boss walking up to you and saying something like "Hey, you're working this weekend." and watching the look of dread on your face before saying "Haha! Pwnd!"

Sure, he can only do that because he's your boss, but no harm done. Mods are HUMAN and will make the occasional *gasp* joke. Big deal.

I think the joke worked, and I'm sure Insanity isn't pissed off about it, I think he was playing on the idea of it having unhappy colours, if he was abusing his power of removing unhappy coloured signatures rather than joking around, he would have removed my sig.

However I think people are taking Cattle Rustler seriously, he's not usually a serious person on here, I think a few people just took the wrong interpretation

*sits in front of computer laughing*

You are so right... I haven't really said anything in this little arguement because it's quite funny, the entire thing was a joke that nobody involved caught. Seemed as though everyone was joking, but nobody knew it. lol
