I would post this in the appropriate pinned thread (which can be found here) but since it's also closed then I'll start a new one here.

People, the rules for signature images are quite clear. If you still don't see what I am talking about, allow me to illustrate it a little more:

Here are the rules for signature pictures:

- 60 * 450 pixels
- 30 KB in size
- no annoying or inapropriate links
- no links to simulare boards


Any signature picture breaching these will be erased.

Now, I understand the Admins around here are quite lax and tolerant when it comes to use this rule and I myself could not care less if a picture is more than 30kb in size since I'm on cable... However, I am beginning to be seriously annoyed by signatures 3, 4, 5 or even 6+ times bigger (I won't give names *points in WormPaul general direction*) taking more and more space everywhere on the board. If you still don't understand then fire up Paint (program which comes with about every version of Windows), go in Image -> Attribute and set 450 pixel as lenght and 60 pixel as height and you'll see that about every signature images around are way too big for the rule. Yes, it's very small... But that's beside the point.

May I remind you people that the first reason of this rule was exactly so you could still apply your freedom of speech via images while at the same time respecting the other members of this board who are not here to look at flashy images but actually read what others have to say?

I'd personally prefer not to see images in sigs at all, but that's only my oppinion. I know other members prefer to use an image and that's alright with me. However, I'd really prefer to see everyone conform to the rule established by Kosta a while ago so everyone keep the lenght of the post pages at a minimum.

Look at my own signature... It's a condensed one-liner related closely to both my name and my Avatar which add a lot of character to my posts without taking much place. I personnaly beleive that if you need half a page to achieve the same thing with an image, then there is a problem somewhere...
