Personally, i think we need a clamp down on massive signatures.

I dont mind the ones like mine, even though it is 'illegal' acording to the rules

Here are the rules, i think we should keep to them, its making the forum look messy in my opinion.

Thanks for Reading.

EDIT: MikLSP

OK folks, I have updated the Signature Rules so please take a look and correct your signature if it violates them.

Signatures which do not conform to the rules will be removed.

You may post here if you spot a large signature and a moderator will take a look.

Cheers,

Mik

I think you're quite right and this is something that was previously enforced quite well but then the rules were relaxed. I agree that some are getting a little out of hand and it is time to get them back in line

I don't really mind them, I never notice them, besides you can always turn the siggy's off... Much better

[93bh]

Can I put my Youtube video in my signature?

Saying that you can turn sigs off is far from a solution - many peoples sigs contain useful links and information and it's not like you can only turn some sigs off and not others.

Anyway, that's all beside the point.
There are rules which state that over-sized sigs are not allowed and everyone who is a member here has agreed to the terms and conditions and, in doing so, has agreed to abide by the rules that are set down.

That said, I would suggest that the old sig rules (link) need a bit of an update.
From a personal perspective, the image I have in my sig is 650x75 pixels, whereas the maximum we're allowed is either 200x100 or 400x50 (though why it's not just 400x100 is beyond me). Yet despite the fact that it's larger than the guidelines, I wouldn't say that the picture in my sig is in any way excessive.

@Step666

Indeed it's not a solution..
But PERSONALLY, I better like it without Signatures and Avatars, 1. Saves loading time, 2. Saves scrolling, 3. easier to spot the posts (yea sounds lame )

But, that's just my opinion

[Step666]

Well, of course everyone can set things up as they like and, yes, it goes without saying that disabling sigs and avatars will aid loading times.

But, to be fair, you must be able to see how it looks when there's a Mod saying 'you can always just turns sigs off'.


edit: actually, with regards to the point about making it easier to 'spot' the posts, personally I find threads easier to read when there are sigs, as they break it up, as it were.
But that's just me.

@Step666

I know that, and I did not mean that it was a solution, it's the straight opposite of it.

[Step666]

No, I realise that.
I've just seen it in the past when a Mod's personal opinion is misconstrued as being forum rules.

[SnowiffiC]

Good then.

Let's not make a discussion of it.

e.g

Thats not big its tiny, get a load of this Super Sig

[MikLSP]

I agree again step666 that the old rules are a little odd.
Personally I don't think width is the issue as long as it within the width of the page, very long signatures are the main problem.

Just to let you know, this is currently being discussed in the staff section so we'll let you know when an outcome is reached

[#sunSEt]

I totally agree...
IMHO a signature height of 100-200 pixels should be totally enough.
This size doesn't break the flow of reading.
I don't understand, why so many users here must put a bulk of graphics in their signature.

[Step666]

For the height, 200 sounds excessive.
Personally, I'd say that 100 pixels should be the maximum height and the width may as well be the full width of the page.
