Huge signatures

I've seen people rocking out with huge signatures for a while now and it's starting to grate on me. Are there any rules or restrictions to the size of the signatures? There should! A 100 pixel height limit would definitely be in order in my honest opinion.

For example, having an entire chop as a 400 pixels tall signature is overkill don't you think? Makes the discussion threads annoying to browse through when someone's one line post takes up a third of the screen just because of the signature. Annoyance is further multiplied if the same person has replied into the same thread a few times, especially on the same page. You get to see the same huge signature over and over again!

Or am I really the only one who is annoyed by this?
agreee its stupid ! :P

im 75 x 250 is well more enough for a sig imo, its just distracting having HUGE ass sigs just to show you next chop or just promote stuff :P
We could probably do with some general rules or guidelines concerning signatures, but I'm not sure they would be read. Some things we can say is signatures are;
- not meant to advertise other forums or websites
- not meant to showcase chops (we have a section for that)
I think we'd eliminate 80% of the large signatures this way already.

As it says in the rules:
Quote:
Signatures:
Please keep your signatures a reasonable size. Ensure that the sig size is no bigger than 725px x 175px, this includes BOTH the image and/or any quotes, text etc you have in the sig. Any bigger and you will get a shitty admin chosen sig installed for 1 week.. The one we choose will make you look real stupid. You don't want this. Also make sure they are not gif animations that have large filesizes too (keep it under 200kb).. this is annoying for our users to constantly have to wade through this stuff and its a waste of bandwidth.

Apparently only ATC knew that it's already stated in the rules lol :P
Glac, you already have the permission to change signatures at will.

I will start installing admin signatures when I spot someone doing it wrong from now on!

You can always adblock the signature if you want, though. Just as I've adblocked Brians signature for example :P
i mentioned this to mark in a pm like 2 years ago and he added it in the rules. you other admins should read your own rules :P
I did know it was there, as I from time to time delete signatures, but I don't crawl around all the forums as much as I used to, so I don't spot a lot of them ;)

Now the question is: Ponies or teletubbies in admin-installed signatures?
