So I looked at your sig and saw the followingOriginally posted by weedave
ILook at my sig again then
I give out my real name and have no problem doing so.
We're more or less on the same boat, just disagree on this stuff.
If a player wants to advertise his sponsors, its completely his choice. If anybody doesnt like this, all they have to do is to go into settings and turn off " show signatures ".

"Dave McAuley - Escarmouche, Ireland
Representin' Dye, Wdp + Cobra Paintball."
followed by the usual "my views do not represent....", but the sig specifically says the word representing.
Not getting at you specifically weedave, honest, just using you as an example here.
I have no problem with advertising sponsors or having team names in sigs but like it or not things people write on the forums WILL be associated with their team, though I doubt very much that companies like Dye or WDP would suffer if you said something out of order

I disagree but all my points have been stated already so I won't get into it all again.

Basically, the way I see it is that sponsors are paying money to have you as a person and a player representing them.
If you want to spout ****, feel free. If your sponsors decide "we can't risk being associated with that player" then they'll feel free as well.
Basically, it doesn't matter whether or not you put a disclaimer on your posts. Whatever you put in print is your opinion. As your team lets you play with them, that reflects (at least a part of) your team opinion. As your sponsors are paying money towards your team, REGARDLESS OF ANY DISCLAIMER, that opinion reflects onto them.
As a sponsored player, you have a responsibility to "censor" your opinions, especially when they are printed in the public domain.
Also, there was a quite interesting speech provided by one of the captains at the recent D7s when thanking sponsors. Personally, if I was sponsor of that team, I would be asking for my money back immediately. It might have been a throw-away comment, but especially as captain to an audience, those words should not have been spoken.
