Signature Rules [IN EFFECT]
Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2014 4:42 am
The following Rules are supposed to regulate the Signatures in our Forums.
These Rules have not been made to annoy or anger the community. Its about preventing overly wide or long Signatures that pull a Thread in unnessecary length or width. And also that big Pictures result in higher loading times and lower Forum performance.
Procedure:
If a Signature is denoted too long, either by a mod or by a user report - you will get a PM from the Mods or Administrators. No breaches will be tolerated - not even 1 pixel too much.
If you dont follow the request to make it smaller in 48h we will put a warning on your account and remove the excess text or image.
Rules:
Update 10.10.2014: Fixed the measurements. ( One line of text is about 16.5-17.5px high instead of 16)
The thread will be open do discuss the topic of the rules for 7 days.

Rules:
- Signatures can be max 13,5 lines high in normal Font.
- Graphics can be max. 200 Pixel(roughly 12 lines of normal font) high. The width is limited to 850 Pixel, thereby the Filesize may not exceed maximum 200KB.
- The maximum size of 850x230 and 200KB applies to the whole Signature, including text and graphics - one line of text ~ 17px
- At a resolution of 1366x768 no thread is supposed to be ripped apart by a too large Signature
- Links or texts that contain advertising for commercial purposes are not allowed.
- Please dont hotlink graphics - uploaded them to a imagehoster/your webserver before putting them in the signature
- Dont post links or graphics in your signature that contain adult-only content. The same takes effect for radical or political extreme Graphics or Texts.
- Quotes or similar things that embarrass or offend other members should be ommited.
