I'd like to chime in that a size limit in way of a display would be a good forum rule to have, but I would personally like to see the buffer for the signature increase from 235 to something bigger. I like to have links in my signature to ease posting for problems, but 235 characters is really limiting Smile Probably an SQL reason(VARCHAR ?) for it though.

Ok.

hobbs asked me to get to rules and restrictions for the signatures.

But in a way, i want to see what the community has to say about the restrictions. I like to get a lot of input before I make a decision.

Good People of the HQ Network, what are your 2 cents on the matter.

How big do you all want the max Dimensions to be? (Small monitor people PLEASE RESPOND TO AT LEAST THIS) It helps to make things more ideal and serene around the forums.

Do you think a max of 2 signatures is fair for larger sigs or would 1 animated suffice?... unless they are the use(r)bars?


Should content be restricted in some form...besides the usual (e.g. pawn, racist materials, etc..) Personally besides the usual restricted content, I feel it should be open for people to express themselves. Where as some might insist on only game related signatures or somethng. (I just want an idea of the general consensus and what is generally wanted.

Any other suggestions? Are there restrictions* on other forums you ahve seen that you would like to be included here?

* Restriction is a harsh word Wink


This is open input, nothing will be guarenteed till its officially posted. I feel its a good thing when the community gets together and helps set standards, it helps in a mutual resolution.

I've got a 17" myself, so I can't say much, but I work on a fairly high resolution, so I can see a lot.

For size, my vote is as wide as the worum would allow (620 pixels I think) by 250-300px high.

When your saying max of 2 sigs, your talking 2 images? Cause I could use all 235 characters with nothing but <br> to make it pages long and no images.

For just images, I think 1 plus up to 5 user bars would be reasonable

Content should be restricted simply to no offensive or illegal material. This should be at the discretion of admins though, not users.

I like the idea of rules for sigs though.

Some how, I think I started a bad trend LOL, and I was just doing it to mainly advertize, and say im an admin blah blah blah, Im hoping hobbs comes up with the new sig system where I can have differnt ones for each site. Even me having two is too many lol.

I say a maximum of 160px in images, and 3 lines of text. That would be plenty of room, if you wanted multiple user bars you may sacrifice a sig image or something,

Personally, i think that a standard sig is fine. You can put whatever you want on one sig without cluttering it up. I've seen some pretty awesome sigs that have alot of info but looks good.

I dont wanna see a sig that looks like one of those damn Where's Waldo pics, those are annoying. Use your best judgement and make some good sigs.

Well IMHO, I think 1 medium size pic (shall we say, 470x150 pxl?) and no more than 6 lines of text - OR, 2 smaller pics, and no more than 3 lines of text. (Oh, and userbars should count for 1 line of text)

That way, info can still be presented in sigs, but without taking up too much space. And they still look pretty Smile
