Hey fellas. Sigs have been getting way out of hand so I'm giving fair notice that I'm going to be sending pm's to any and all whose sigs are beyond the guidelines no matter the rank (so don't anyone cry favoritism). Large sigs are a big pet peeve of mine and many others here so there's some work to be done catching up from my recent absence. Ours is a tech forum not an art gallery so let's have some courtesy for those who'd like to actually read threads without having to wade through a wall of pictures to find text. We now have our personal page thingy where you can post all the pictures you want so I'm not going to stand for any ridiculous whining about me curtailing expression as I've heard in the past. Nothing personal folks - just making our forums more enjoyable for all. Here's a recap of the rules for those who see this and would like to save me some trouble: These rules are far more generous than I'd care for so don't expect any flexibility from me
nice one Neph, i've been on this for a while, some ppl unsurprisingly take the mickey and i've been lurking on userbars threads and pouncing where necessary; more importantly i've been advising ppl to conform as i knew the userbars craze would tip the sigs over the edge
Nice to see the crackdown happening Some of them take up whole pages if i remember correctly Guys im wondering is there any program that can shrink the sigs soo that they can meet the requied sizes. Which I don't know if my signiture is ok or does it have to be shrunk??
Nice call neph, this crackdown isn't before time. The userbars are getting a little blinky in some cases and make my eyes sore! @ Borhan- Mihov image resizer is a great tool that resizes without distortion. I may even write a mini tut on it if need be.. http://www.mihov.com/eng/ir.html
in my opinion,a sig should take this amount of space ________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ not like this or more _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________
Ireland,If that were the case and I wish it were, mine would have been within specs. Unfortunately I was one of the people on the "hit list." I personally did not think it was any where near as big as some members,nevertheless...I have conformed,I think!
Drd should go to avatar’s and limit the Signature: to 5 lines of type Its getting to dam hard to read what’s posted with the Signature: distractions it got out of hand.. Nephilim is 100% right..Crackdown on Signature's
I too agree that it has gotten out of hand,some sigs. bigger and more annoying than the ads,but will other "offenders" be so quick to respond? I have not seen many if any changes yet.
i'm endlessly on sig patrol, amongst other things around some of the console forums, let's just say it's an ongoing task
Yeah! I see Neph's having a very busy day too! You know that you will no longer be referred to as the prize patrol...don't you! lol!
The biggest offence I've noticed is too many lines of text with a gif - three lines max and I totally agree with your idea of sig size ireland.
I'll ditch the pic for now then. It's no use you guys trying to enforce the rules if seniors/addicts have large sigs too Lol LOCO
Aww hell no, creaky's an alright feller and I couldn't even if I wanted to. Plus he has a boat so if I ever visit the UK I'll have a floating shag wagon he'll let me borrow - isn't that right creaky? ;P You guys know what's funny is one of the guys I pm'd about his sig pointed out that mine was out of spec - I had four lines of text. Can we say hypocrite?
Phantom gave me your nick this morning Neph...we'll talk soon. Trying to get lethal hooked up. EDIT: I ditched my sig a month or so ago so noone would have to point me out...for now I remain sigless.
Loco, i have Neph's, maybe you can pass mine to Lethal. Neph, i just got back from 3 days on the boat, but 'fraid i'm stuck on dry land most of the time now . as to sigs, yer it would make me larf if someone with a page-sized sig moaned at mine
