I sent this to Shane as well as a suggestion, and wonder what others here think:
I propose the following rules for sigs: Nothing that might be deemed offensive or illegal (such as advertising porn or illegal downloads), and normal-size font or smaller. Color and links are okay. Just make this across the board.
Notice I don't mention religion. Telling someone to not post a scripture verse is oppression and is offensive. Just regular-size.

And maybe no more than 4-5 lines.

Yes, and 5 lines. Sometimes mine are 5 lines. :D Though I will probably stick with my current.

Is there not already a character limit of 255?

Yes but someone could have seven links all lined up on top of each other.

I agree with you. Really, this should be common sense practice anyway.

Can my sig stay? I like how it is...I don't wish to change the size...it's a tie in to my avatar and a play on an old Tech TV slogan.

I think something like that is fine. I mean just use common sense. If you have to ask yourself or wonder if it's too big...then well, it probabaly is.

Normally yeah I don't like huge fonts in sigs ..just I felt since mine was short and very simple I didn't see an issue.

It's short and blends in and isn't a neon color.

One of the reasons I can't stand nearly every other forum on the planet is cause I gotta scroll three miles past sigs and avs just to read someone write "I agree" or something...
Love this forum for that. Love the fact that I can actually turn off sigs and avs in my prefs. Did that at first, but then I tried it with them on and realized everyone was sensible and sane here. Now I play the av/sig game...

I hate it when people put giant images as a sig.

If we had image ready sigs I would just post my gamercard.

I'm glad we don't have image sigs.

I wouldn't mind image sigs as long as they weren't too big or had size restrictions. (Obviously)
