    Btw, you can hide signatures on your side with a setting in the Preferences.

    I now have the power to enforce sig rules.
    So I'm gonna be removing oversized sigs from now on.

    Well, Considering Shad's sorted it already and I've got animation class coming up soon. I'll get a new smaller but animated signature.

    Val's banner by itself was okay... I am happy with just a banner of that size. Hence why the ZEC guys are okay.
    It was the presence of text too that pushed it over an acceptable size.

    A good rule of thumb with signatures is that it shouldn't EVER be bigger than what your actual post takes up in space -- and no, I'm not saying that you should stretch out your damn posts to justify your sig.

    anyway

    Two or three lines of text with a smaller font is ideal, preferably containing a link to something at least somewhat related, some news regarding your clan/such or a quote you really like if you must. Banners almost always fail... BIG TIME (IMHO all the banners above this post are way way way too big and distracting).

    ...

    Here's an example of a good size for a banner:
    [​IMG]
    It might seem a little limited but that only makes you go creative with what you have, no?

    That's my two cents on sigs.

    My sig was the same height as Aoki's counting text, but whatever. It's going to be replaced with my clan sig soon anyhow :p

    I'm totally against signatures with system messages (like warnings, likes, etc.), it slowly starts to annoy me.

    Noburu seems to love them, but FinDude seems to hate them. =P
    But yeah, as much as I like the joke, I think it could be confusing to a lot of people.
    Hell, Monsteri had me fooled for ages. I though Shadlington must have been a real jerk, hunting down Monsteri just to give him infractions! xD

    Use your "KAG Team" power and forbid using them pls. It sort of destroys the purpose of that message system (easily seeing who likes something / got an infraction) At least it hinders it.

    Illu, we're doing it to ensure more enthusiasm within the community, to be honest I find it strange you're opposed to it.
