Signature Rules

[Cairenn]

I feel that we need a reminder of this. I've noticed a disturbing trend of late for people to have multiple large graphic blocks or a large graphic block followed by a large section of text. I'm not trying to be a party-pooper but we have the rules in place for a reason.

The reason for this is tall signatures just take up way to much vertical space making it more difficult to read threads. The reason for the width limit is so all posts fit well on a 1024 x 768 screen. The file size limit is for those who have slower connections. *Please refrain from using "huge" or "large" text, especially in conjunction with larger pictures Signatures that advertise a product or service can and will result in the owner’s account being permanently banned.

Here's a graphic to show you the max dimensions for your signature, all graphics and text included:

I have always been curious as to what

means. I see a number of sigs that 'could' fall under this, possibly even my own (if it weren't a Zam sanctioned sig).

So I guess I should remove my signature?

Yours is absolutely fine Kofetek.

Yhor, et al: Gimme a break. We're not about to ban people for the "Child's Play" ones. I had one myself for a while.

We also aren't going to ban people for the Mountain Dew ones, because it is a Blizzard approved contest. But the Mountain Dew ones are causing a problem because people are using them in conjunction with their regular sig graphics, which makes the overall sig block very large. If people want to use the Mountain Dew ones right now, we'd ask that they temporarily remove their regular ones, until the Mountain Dew contest is finished and those ones are removed, at which point they can go back to their regular one.

Just use common sense here, guys. The difference of a few pixels in width or height is one thing. It's if it gets really wide, causing the horizontal size of the page to get screwed up, or if it is really tall, causing a lot of "wasted space" and vertical scrolling - that's when we're going to ask you guys to change them. We aren't unreasonable, you should know us well enough by now.

There you go, asking for the impossible. I mean, this is the Internet...

I assume mine are OK?? At least I know the size is.

Does the Mt.Dew one fall under the rule Yhor mentioned?

If so I will remove immediately as I DO NOT want to be banned from here..


-- EDIT --
Actually I just looked at the properties of the Child's Play one .. it exceeds the width limit by 45 pixels.. does it need to go ?
