We need to come up with a signature policy!

As in my previous post. We had to provide a "quanitify" factor for the size of graphics becuase we ran into issues with people using HUGE (read LARGE) sigs.

Are you referring to the one that said.

This makes it easier to find my posts?

I say keep it to a 2000 px vertical limit on pictures + no more than 3 lines of text

so in the neighborhood of 300 px vertical limit total IMO

My opinion, 5 lines of text in a sig should be plenty. Why would any body need any more than that? Also no pics. I get tired of scrolling down a page that 50% signature.

I think it should be treated just like the custom user titles. Everyone can have a one line sig. If you want more then become a site supporter and receive up to 3 lines and a small pic. Small as in the vet pic in IndyGunWorks or BillofRights INGO logo in their respective signatures.

I like this idea, but would like to take it one step further. One thing that really yanks my chain is doing a search for a specific make or model of firearm and the results show tons of returns that have nothing to do with the search entered. The reason? People listing what firearms they own in the signature line. I would like to see a rule no make or models of firearms in the signature lines.

Yes I'm aware of how loud my signature line is. I will be happy to tone it down and go with Cwood's criteria. And hopefully along with the suggestion I made, no makes or models of firearms in the signature line.

Tell you what I like the idea of some guidelines for signatures so much I will not only talk the talk I will walk the walk

I will go from this:




To this: Via dolorum bonis propositis strata est.

Now lets see where this thread goes from here.

FYI we will have a new sig policy in place soon and it will be close to what cwood has suggested.

1 line sig (no images or links) only text for registered members

Site Supporters will be able to post images and links

Is it possible for those that have issues with the sigs, to disable them. I know a few of the boards I'm on have that option, mainly for those still on dial up. You are going to have to set a limit, and it will upset some, otherwise they will continue growing larger and larger.
