I came up with this idea, my friend was getting a little annoyed when people kept copying his "signature art" He thought that he should be the only one that could have that particular picture because he made it. So i came up with the idea to have a "anti copy" tag, or something similar. If you dont know what i am talking about, I will give an example. By "tag" i mean by..... when you want to underline something, then you add a "[u]" tag. so i was thinking, if you posted certain text that you didnt want anyone to be able to just highlight, right click and copy, you could add and "anti copy" tag or something similar, that might look something like this. "[ac]text[/ac] So, what do you guys think.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

That would involve much effort, and that would not be very useful. I don't think it really matters anyway, almost everyone copied their sig art from an ASCII website anyway.

I imagine it would be useful for signature art. But I don't really see how practical it would be here on Bungie.net. What would be so important that nobody else could copy it? Plus, it would be work for nothing on the web team's part. I suppose you could be thinking of quotes; but they'd get spread around anyway, and it wouldn't take long to transcribe them even without copying enabled.

Edit - since you're probably referring to ASCII art, I agree with Ghandi. IMO, ASC II signature art is pointless anyway, and wouldn't be too hard to replicate since signature size is so small.

I don't care really. I don't even use signature art, or make it.

Erm well yeah. Since you can't post direct images for signatures here, there's little point and i very much doubt it would be useful for text. A well thought idea however.

can you really stop someone from copying something?

I'm not that active, but never dead.

It's the internet. Get used to it.
Coying ASCII art is what you get for making it. Your friend should be proud of himself, people liked his art so much that they wanted it too since it was so cool. Try looking at it from that perspective.

I think it might be a good idea. Like if you want exclusive content somewhere and you don't want people copying it and putting it in other groups, and at least making it harder for the person to copy your content that you have in your group.

Funny, funny. That's exactly how I feel, and yes, I am his "friend". I wasn't mad about it, I just wanted to get people's opinion on the matter, to see if it bothered them or not, 'twas all.

It would be unbelievably hard to implement and isn't really worth the effort. Your signiture is meant to be stolen thats how you know its a good signiture. My worst halo 2 player link has been copied alot but i don't mind.
