I've noticed many people with signatures that are over the limit and I was wondering if we could lay out some new rules for the allowed sizes. Sometimes it's hard to find pictures that will fit the description so I thought maybe we could adopt some of these rules? idk tell me what you think:
* Signatures
Allowed content:
1 Signature (max size 550 by 200)
Max. overall height: 200 pixels
Max. image width: 550 pixels
+1 Small image next to signature (max size 300 by 200)
Max. overall height: 200 pixels
Max. image width: 300 pixels
+4 Userbars (max size 350 by 20) (or buttons containing the same amount of space)
And I don't know about this, some elaboration on teh rules about signatures:
All links in signatures must be to safe sites. Placing images behind spoiler tags (I don't think we can do this but still, if we can find a way to allow spoiler tags in the signature that would be great) is not an acceptable solution for signatures which violate the rules stated above. In other words if you have more content in spoiler tags then the rules allow we will remove it (exception for text only).
Users with images in signatures larger than the allowed size will be warned via PM to appropriately remove, replace, or re-size the image within 48 hours after the moderator has sent the message. If the signature is not fixed after 48 hours, the respective moderator will remove the image without further notice and the user will not be allowed to add a new signature until the new signature is presented to the mod and approved. Failure to comply may result in the loss of some privileges on the forum.
However, if a moderator deems your signature to be a hindrance to other member's use of the forum (e.g. excessive signatures), they may remove the image(s) first before sending you a warning.
Maybe if we can manage these things a little more efficiently then we wouldn't have so many excessive signatures >___<

There is already a sig limit. It's 700x350 I believe, and mods already warn people about large sigs, and remove them to their user notes if the member does not comply.
Basicly you're just applying for a rule that already exists, but making the limit smaller.

Regardless, I'd like to modify it and advocate stronger enforcement of the rules, which I believe has been slack as of late. |

Basically, it's not changing at all. We are indeed working on updating some of the rules, and I can tell you that it's still 700x350 as the maximum sig size FOR ALL IMAGES.
Perfect Example: KOD, your big image is fine, but the Pikachu and Lucario images put it over 700 height. You need to change that.

699 by 348 is the size of the larger image in your sig KoD; the additional image on the bottom extends that by at least 50 pixels, so if you wanna keep your sig you'll have to take off the pikachu and lucario image ._.
Oh, and sorry guys for suggesting things that I thought would be an improvement to the site. I guess I'm not being dedicated enough like you all.

Oh, and sorry guys for suggesting things that I thought would be an improvement to the site. I guess I'm not being dedicated enough like you all. No, no, that's not it. THANK you for attempting to help us, and it's so greatly appreciated kunekune. I have posted in the last few weeks.. *you were temp staff at the time* about the signature problem and yeah, if your remember it was mostly ignored. Please, if you can help me.. since I've been the one doing it in the past, inform people you see with big sigs that they are against the rules. But you don't have to unless you want to... But yeah, I think the rule we have now is a little less complicated. ^^;; |

We aren't idiots here, and my suggestion isn't rocket science; there's nothing complicated about it  |
