Signature Rules
These rules apply only to member signatures. Users who do not wish to see member signatures may disable them in their Board Settings via the User Control Panel.
The Signature Rules are only loosely enforced. Never-the-less, signatures that violate them will be replaced with a warning. Members who ignore this warning and keep violating the Signature Rules will be temporarily banned. Annoying signatures, or those that break the General Rules, may be edited or removed without warning at the sole discretion of the staff. In addition, please do not use spoiler, indent or quote tags in signatures.
Size Limits
In order to keep The Forum fast for those who wish to see signatures we feel it is necessary to impose limits. Various combinations of images and text are permitted in signatures; these are summarized below:
- Text Only
Text only signatures may have a maximum of six (6) lines of text (including blank lines), assuming the default font size or smaller. Larger font sizes means that fewer lines are allowed. - Images Only
50,000 bytes or less: Maximum of 500 pixels wide x 160 pixels tall - Image and Text
Signatures with both text and images may have a maximum of three (3) lines of text, assuming the default font size or smaller. Larger font sizes are not permitted. 50,000 bytes or less: Maximum of 500 pixels wide x 120 pixels tall
If multiple images are used, then the limits apply to all images combined.
Limited Advertising Permitted
Signatures are excluded from the advertising restrictions found in the Posting Rules; provided the site, product, service or event being advertised and the content of the advertisement complies with the rest of The Rules. If you are not sure please ask a member of staff. |
