From the Soldat forums, these are quite reasonable restrictions.

# 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 70 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 Data Realms 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.

If these are instated, I'm willing to comply.

EDIT: Images with signatures changed from 43 to 70 characters.

No thank you.

hmm normaly i dont like these type of posts.. but i like most those rules..

Take the rules right now, and somehow toss them in there, and clean up the rule thread so its easyer to read. Il PM you the code part of the rules.

Brilliant. Can we make this policy?

Even though your sig is illegal according to it? Weren't you projectTHOR, the one that got banned?

My sig is illegal according to this! This is an outrage! I need Deadline, and EL, and that little thingy that couch caboose made me!

I dont agree, whats wrong with 7 line sigs?

I disagree, things are fine now, why mess with them?

Sorry, but dem rules r ghei. I worked my ass off on resizing my sig to fit the limits already set, and limits in Kb and such simply sucks

4 lines of text is just too short. 8 or 10 lines are much more reasonable.

I laugh at some forum sig limits, it's not like everyone is using 640x480 or 800x600 anymore.

All there is to say.

400x150 limits for signatures if this is adapted. I also suggest a 1mb limit for signature images.

If I have to change my signature what-so-ever, heads will roll.

Do we understand?

These rules are one of the reasons why I semi-left Soldat forums.
