Signature length

[Pi Mu Rho]

4 lines maximum, people.

That's four. One more than three, one less than five. Way less than six.

[Tyguy]

wait, so we can use pictures now?


:angel:

 

[Nomad]

I sure hope not.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

:angel:

Not while I still breathe. And probably not afterwards, either.

 

[Darkside55]

Doesn't everybody know already?

 

[15357]

It's been nearly a year or two since I've touched my sig.


I couldn't think of anything for a fourth line, so made a little filler until I come up with one.

 

[No Limit]

Oh, okay.

 

[kupocake]

Are six lines ok if they're teeny tiny?

And pretty colours too?

(I ought to change this old thing anyway)

It looks to me like it's about the length of 4 normal sized lines...

 

[Stigmata]

Is mine four lines? I can't remember.

[edit] Roughly.

 

[The Monkey]

6char

 

[Rizzo]

Do I even have one anymore?

Oh right...

You don't need four lines, you can have less than that, but no more.

 

[kineaesth]

This utterly terrifies me.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

You'd be surprised.

But not as surprised as those who either don't know, or willingly flout the rule are going to be tomorrow.

 

[Warped]

am i good??

 

[CyberPitz]

I forget how many lines i have.

NOOOO DAMN YOU QUOTE

Aha! Take that Jimmy Joe Johnson!

 

[Raziaar]

Okay. Gotta trim mine back then. Damn.

EDIT: There we go... everything is all scrunched together now, thank you very much.


If I ever go back out of line again, just send me a PM or something. I didn't even know we had a signature line limit as long as it wasn't like... super unreasonable(like my 6 lines I had).

 

[PvtRyan]

Posting to check line count.

Ooh, five. Well screw it, it's too awesome to change.

 

[kineaesth]

Kupo - 63 pixels tall

Numbers - default font, 4 lines - 66 pixels tall

Raz - 80

PvtRyan - 81

Pitz - 85

Stig - 92

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH EXTRA BANDWIDTH THOSE PIXELS COST THIS WEBSITE

YOU ****S ARE GOING DOWN

Then I assume the owners of forums that not only allow huge signatures but also animated gifs, have money growing out of thin air.

 

[Letters]

I turned 'em off in my options.

WTF, mine isn't two lines for the Daan quote....what shitty res/window size you runnin' boy?

 

[Calhoun]

It's actually the style he's using for the forum.

 

[Vegeta897]

I think mine is like okay maybe.

Edit: Yup it's just about 66px which is default font 4 lines.

I'm awesome.

 

[Krynn72]

I wish i had a better sig, but nobody has said anything cool for me to quote in a long time. And i've been yelling at people with too-big sigs for a long time now. Give me mod status damnit!

 

[Stigmata]

Stig - 92

Are you saying...

puts on sunglasses

... mine is too big?

:smoking:

 

[kineaesth]

It's actually the style he's using for the forum.

Default (new default), full width, 1280x800. Bitch.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It's number of lines, not pixel height.

 

[15357]

Er, does that make a difference? I mean,

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

Is certainly larger than

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
Line 6

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Er, yes it does. Mainly because 4 lines is far easier to remember and quantify than a set number of pixels.

It's really quite simple - we don't want posts that are more sig than content, ideally.
It's common sense. If you're going to have 4 lines of massive font because it's technically within the rules, I'm going to remove it anyway, because you're just taking the piss. It's not a court of law, there's no loophole to find. I'm already being nice by not including blank lines, and overlooking those of you that use the spoiler tag to have big-ass signatures (although your spoiler tag consists of two lines, ha.)

So, if anyone wants to argue that their 6-line, small-font sig should be acceptable - don't.
If anyone wants to argue that their 4-line, massive-font sig is technically acceptable - don't.
Anyone still with a > 4 line sig in the next few hours - well, they won't.

 

[Solaris]

What this forum needs is a proper legal code.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Or fewer pedants.

Oh neat.

[Krynn72]

I read Jintor's sig all the time.

 

[15357]

I'm kinda reminded by in Dune, how the SOB Muad'dib (or whateverhisnamewasusulyour****inghomeworldwasanoceanplanet) has no constitution because he just doesn't feel like it.

It disturbs me that we don't have a legal code, or set of rules, or a guideline. Only our common sense to guide us and the whip and boot of our beloved enforcers of oppression.
