Good to be back Posts: 2,496 Group: S Rank Hero Member #9,063 Joined: June 14, 2008 Gender: Male	I've noticed that a certain part of the rules is being ignored constantly. Quote: 6.16 Signatures/Avatars Maximum signature length is 3000 characters. Please do not use the spoiler tag to hide large images or to hide more than 5 images in your signature. Signature image size must not exceed 250kb. Avatars should be no more than 100KB. We want pages to load at a reasonable pace for users. Do not have text in your signature using more than 3 BIG tags. Signatures and avatars should not contain quickly-flashing pictures that may cause problems for users with photo-sensitive disorders. Signatures that stretch tables will be removed. An individual image in your sig must not exceed 550 pixels in width. The combined image and text height in your sig should not exceed 375 pixels. Flash music players are not allowed in your sig. Flash Videos are not allowed in your sig. Sigs that contain hate messages and/or insulting material towards a member is an instant warn. I don't know about anyone else, but flash video players or music players seem to cause weird glitches on my computer. I realised this was in the rules, and seems to be disregarded. May I ask: why has this not been dealt with? It's a real inconvenience.

The staff will get together with Metallix as soon as he is available. Recall that these rules have been in place since 2006. A lot has changed since then in media delivery and network transmission technologies as well as popular culture. Until then, all moderators are directed to inform all users of these applications to discontinue their use until an amendment is passed or denied. Failure to remove these applications willingly will result in forced removal.

The only reason they'd cause a problem is if you had a crappy dial-up connection. Can you even get dial-up anymore? If it's glitching up your browser, try Firefox. I used to get crashes on SB when I used IE6, and now I use Firefox, everything's awesome!

I see no reason for videos and flash music players not to be allowed in sigs. Look at the top left of the page, for every post with a video in the signature/normal post, a #new will appear. Also if this person posts several times major lag affects the page.

Used to when I used IE6 though; it always used to say "**** off Norton" in the top left corner of the page for some reason, haven't a clue why. Are you using IE?

Mods...for some reason...can only delete the ENTIRE sig. Or, I haven't figured out how to edit other peoples sigs yet. Not sure which.

I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	Moderators can only delete signatures because signature editing is only accessible by ACP, and the AutoTool that allows signature deletion is not customizable in the first place. Nevertheless, the stricter we are with sigs, the better I say. I friggin' hate those damn things when they're filled to the brim with so much useless nonsense that they actually comprise a greater percentage of space within a person's post than the actual content they write. A signature is just that-- a signature, a small yet unique facet of your identity, not a friggin' Facebook wall or some shit like that. Keep your signature short, sweet, and to the point instead of practically trashing the forum with uninteresting YouTube videos and those damn clickable Neopet abortions.

The Female Ultimate Life Form! Posts: 3,112 Group: E Rank Legend Member #59 Joined: April 29, 2006	No offense but even I, with a good internet connection (and using FF), had problem with pages loading before the signature purge. And at one time everyone had tons of videos in their signatures (I won't deny I did once), table stretching images, etc. And sorry, but there are people out there who still use dial-up I'm sure. Just because (maybe) the masses here use good internet connections does not mean everyone has it. And everyone and their mother linking a video coupled with videos inside a thread = combo breaker. Honestly, is a video in your sig really necessary? Most of the sites I used to go to didn't have options to actually use videos. Just be glad we have the option. $:\$ Edited by SuperShadowgal, Nov 23 2009, 10:27 PM.
