What the fuck is this?

Signatures

    * For signatures, you are allowed only one image in your signature which may not be wider and taller than 300 and 125 pixels, and may not be over 20kB in file size. No BMPs are allowed.





    * For text in your signature, you may not have more than 4 lines of text anywhere in the signature, and each line may not be wider than 70 characters.  Text may not be of a larger size than the default.

    * A signature may consist of both text and an image, but in this case, text may not consist of more than 2 lines, and 43 characters in length. The text in question should be aligned directly above/below the image to keep your signature small.


    * New: You may have up to 3 separate userbars in your signature, as long as they're each no taller than 20px  and in total their size is less than 20KB, just like any other signature.  The userbars may not be wider than 400px.  When you use any userbars, you may only have 1 line of text no wider than 100chars.


    * We do not allow the use of animated images in your sig, it really detracts from the posts, which should be a persons main focus.  If we find your avatar or signature particularly distracting for any reason, we may ask you to remove it.

    * If we come across broken images we will usually remove the entire sig. It's your responsibilty to ensure images are loading properly, not ours.

    * Affiliate links of any kind are NOT permitted (i.e. PayPal, Outwar, etc.).

    * Also, no image macros are allowed. Image Macros/'Funny' pictures are not allowed here because the Soldat Forums are superior to other forums, thanks to Communism.

    * Members not complying with the signature rules will have their signature or avatar removed, and a warning will be issued. If they replace the images again, or break the signature or avatar rules again, then they will issued a temporary vacation away from the forums.

    * Please use forum code to keep signatures nice and short.

All rules about signatures. Now wtf? My signature was removed because it was over size but Avarax's, echo_trail's and BDFilm's signatures are still remain. ( And many others )
I couldn't find any RULES about Beta Testers and their signatures, which means rules should be same for everyone, even for MM. ( I know they are some kind of gods but rules should be same for everyone. )

I fu*ken reported about oversized signatures, but no one responded.

FFS, this is really irritating.

Yeah. Just go to the testing forum and ask someone to downsize it for you, we are handy people in the arts of compression.

Echo and SDFilm's sigs are fine. Avarax doesn't post that much to be noticed which is why his signature hasn't been removed yet.


You on the other hand shut up and obey the rules. Crying about it will get you nothing but people that think you are an idiot.

Didn't you read my post? I wasn't complaining about not knowing how to downsize my signature. I was complaining about how unfair the administrators are.


† : Right Click >Properties > Look at Size of File
The dimensions of my signature were fine as well. Size of it was above the limit.

I did Echos is about 10kb and SD's is 14. I believe both of those numbers are under 20... right?

Nice changing echo. We all can do that. Don't think you're the mighty one.
SD changed his sig and ava some time ago.
Was it that hard to edit your signature little bit?

Haha, wha'? Don't act like this is some major conspiracy. I changed 'cause I was asked to.

The mighty one?.. Sure, why not.

Seriously though, let's just leave it at this. It's not really an important matter, is it? So my sig was 4kb above the limit, bit deal. How about you just go about your business obbeying the rules as a nice forumer now? It's not the greatest injustice ever, you know.

Thanks,
The Mighty One.

He edited his sig because at the same time I removed your sig, I sent him (and everyone else you had listed in your sig) a PM to fix their sig images. They received PMs because they were borderline violations; as in you would have to actually check indepth to find out they were oversized, you couldn't tell outright.

Yours on the otherhand was obvious, but not only that, you had a message in your sig SAYING you KNEW it was oversize and against the rules, meaning that you had read the rules but chose to deliberately ignore them. Hence why your sig was removed outright.

As for reported sigs, you only made 1, which every mod chose at that time not to enforce because the image was 25.5K, but it was well under the dimensional restrictions. So it wasn't a distraction or an excessive burden. We allow minor things to slide from time to time; but the image was since fixed because I asked him to fix it.

All these members you accused have contributed in a way and been here for a long time so minor things should be OK.

OBEY!!!

I think that echo's sig wasn't a big deal, those 4 kb don't mean squat compared to oversized stuff. And also it looks cool, blends in with the forums and everything... while yours didn't, and till doesn't. You've made your point, we've discovered the big conspiracy theory about mods letting some people slide because it isn't a big deal. And that goes to everyone, not just betatesters.

P.S. echo, I think you should remove the blank space between the sig and Daft Punk, would look cooler and more elegant IMO

Not a userbar. He named it as : sigsoldat
If it would be a userbar, it would be named as: userbarsoldat



Huh?

EDIT: Rules are rules, even 0,1 kb counts.

Who cares what it's named as? It fits the boundaries of a userbar, therefore it's assumed to be a userbar. Stop complaining about silly little things that shouldn't even concern you.

Whoo, I never checked the filesize of my new knife. Good to see it's under 20kb. 8)

It doesn't matter what he names it, so long as it fits into the rules.

We decide how to enforce the rules, not you.

As Vis just said its meant to fall under the userbar rules. So... its classified as a userbar. Again you are wrong. Do you really want to continue to be wrong until this thread gets locked? Or do you want to admit you are wrong and leave it be?

Seriously, could we drop this? Mods will do as they please. They are the undeniable lords of this forum, and we are but shadows in comparisson. Now deal with it. End of story, right?

P.S. echo, I think you should remove the blank space between the sig and Daft Punk, would look cooler and more elegant IMO

There isn't one, it's just how it looks when standing directly underneath the sig :P
