We need to come up with a signature policy!

Fenway · 05-11-2009

Some of the signatures around here are massive and distracting. I'd like to get some rules in place to keep the board a bit more uniform and avoid signatures that are longer than posts.

Post your comments and suggestions on a new policy here.

I am a part of and have moderated many forums. No pics in signature lines is a great and simple way of cutting down the distraction... lots of forums do this.

I don't find them problematic. However, based on your concern, limitation on # of lines, font size, image size, off-site links could be a starting point.

Dimensional guidelines seem fine. Put whatever is allowed within a certain sized space. Site and advertising supporters could be given a bit more space or allowed pics vs. text only.

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.

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.

I know this thread was meant to draw me out.
It always comes down to people hating on the monkey quote.
I'm telling you...they are NOT responsible! No matter what you think, Fenway!
