You trying to say something?

I wish someone would say mine is too big every once in a while!

fI like how this site does signatures.
Smaller text in a less distracting color
example thread: Best Terminal Program for Windows - [H]ard|Forum

Add block Plus is great too

Ah so it seems the consensus is signature lines are fine the way they are, no new rules are needed and if someone does not want to see them they can turn them off.
I'm going back to my old signature....

Post your comments and suggestions on a new policy here.

There you go Mike, I trimmed mine down. I'll admit it hurt a little, but I think I'll live.


Let's get rid of some of these HUGE pictures. I like seeing all of the different signatures/avatars/etc, but some are too much. I don't want to disable everyones' because I like to see the different expressions. So a nice size limit and character limit ought to tidy up the threads while keeping people's originalities intact.

As an example, this particular one comes to mind almost immediately. Ruins my day without fail every time I see it.

***Please keep in mind I don't know this INGO'er at all, just saying his signature pic is a perfect example of "too big"

As I said before, I think as long as it doesn't get any bigger than the sidebar already makes a post, then that should be fine. What is the point of making a tiny sig, if the sidebar makes your post still the same size?

That's reasonable, I'll agree with that. Keeps it tidy and allows for plenty of room without making 20 posts look like 50 in page length.

Rep'd for your efficient idea.

Good point!

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

Site Supporters will be able to post images and links

I also would agree with IndyRoadie, Mike. I think even the Site Supporters should not be able to do spam-sigs. Some limitation is good, but that said, limiting to three lines when the sidebar leaves blank lines in the post is kinda pointless.
