Important: Signature Restrictions updated

Dyne · 10-25-2005, 02:09 AM

For the longest time, the limit has been 450x125 pixels. Now I've seen a ridiculous amount of rule breaking (to the point where it feels I'm the only one obeying the rules), so I've upped the limit for the signature. Please read the new rules carefully.

Signature Restrictions
The maximum pixels allowed in a signature is 550 pixels x 200 pixels (That is... 550 wide, 200 high). That is the maximum size. Pictures can be smaller than either of those boundaries, but not larger. Text is allowed to wrap around, but you are not to break the 200 pixel vertical limit.

Also, a size limit of 200 kilobytes is enforced. If you are found having a signature image larger than 200 kb, it will be deleted on sight. As well, if you put more than one image, then they shall only be no more than 200 kb in size sum.

And just to clarify that, you can only have one main image in your signature (Which can be no larger than 550 x 200). You can also use text and smilies, but only one actual image.

Here's the size area:

As well, there will be no extra size allowances. 550 wide by 200 high is the maximum size area. Signatures even one pixel larger than either of those limits are to be altered.

If you receive a PM from any of the staff asking you to change your signature, you are expected to do so as soon as possible. People that need help in changing the size and whatnot can visit the "Writer's Guild" board.

So I can practically use ORLY the internet owl now?

If it fits within the size restrictions, yes.

Let's just hope no one actually uses a signature 200 pixels high, as an artist, I find that to be aesthetically distasteful.

I used 150, that too high? or should it be 100-125?

Remember, the size is counting for your text too. Your height is currently 181.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

Well, I was staying within what I thought were the borders...if that counts.

How far would you go with a signature to be more than just nice?

Crash · 10-25-2005, 06:48 PM

am I distasteful?

Wow. Thats too big in my opinion, but whatever, I can live.

In all honesty, I thought of imposing a limit where you could only reach either the 200 limit or the 550 limit, but not both.

I expect no one to create a main signature image that large. But I realize people have quotes and things. The way it is now, with trophies, some people's post bits are big enough as it is.

I wanted to combine the growing rebellion of the signature limit with the realization that people hate scrolling. 550x200 fits on every resolution and is the best number for our style.

If you have another size suggestion, PM me.

I was actually considering using the sig limit pic as my sig.

Dyne · 10-25-2005, 07:11 PM

I dare you!
