Whats with the new sig rules?

[a-4-year-old]

I'm all for outlawing annoying huge flashing shit in your sig, but whats with the whole lowering it even more? The old rules were more then fine.

[echo_trail]

How exactly did they change?

[FliesLikeABrick]

I don't see any changes that weren't made a long time ago

[a-4-year-old]

lines went from 100 characters to 70

lines with a picture went from 100 to 40


Or is this just a bad dream.

[FliesLikeABrick]

I don't remember any time that that wasn't the rule

[chrisgbk]

It's been the same the entire time I've been a moderator, and before that even.

[a-4-year-old]

how come userbar users get 100 chars for their 1 line and everyone else with a picture gets 2 lines of 40?? HUH?

Maybe Chakra is getting a bit too power-happy with the rules thread... ¬_¬

Dude, read the thread through; Nothing changed since, like, forever. That's got nothing to do with Chakra being power-happy.

*shrugs* Just sayin'...

[echo_trail]

Nah, don't think Chakra mein Fuhrer, opposer of evil and deliverer of light, was ever really one of them authority *****s.. He does love cursing people, but then again, he's english magnificent.

haha he striked

[echo_trail]

...Hopeless!

The Rules here have always been damn strict with signatures, too strict on some parts, but outlawing seizure inducing ones is a good idea.

[echo_trail]

Too strict? How so mate? I don't see any problems, and blinking animated sigs would just be annoying. I like it fine!

A lot of people have problems with the restrictions on image dimensions and file sizes.  They think that we're in a modern age where everyone has dial up and see no reason why they shouldn't be able to have giant signatures with 20-minute long movie clips in them.

At least 100+ people on these forums have dial-up, and many more have slow DSL connections with monthly transfer limits imposed on them.

[GluLm]

Indeed.
I've always liked the way these forums had size limit in both sig and avatar. Keeps it clean and easy on the eye. :)

[Sytrus]

20-minute long movie clips in them.

Play button, get.


I don't know, but no other forum I go to has such hard restrictions and they all go fine with that. Odd, they must have some sort of Utopian mega-power.

The sig rules have been the same since before Bricks was admin. They keep the forum looking less chaotic with annoying animations and big pictures. Sytrus you just need to learn to drop stupid battles.

[a-4-year-old]

I want more text in the rules, if it makes someone's page .001s longer to load then oh well.

I distinctly remember 100 char. in each line.
