Signature Rules [IN EFFECT]
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:
- 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.
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.
