Signatures are getting out of hand (again)
 

Seriously guys. A company can manage to fit everything they need to communicate in a standard 468x60 ad banner, but you're so clever and special and unique that you need 4 times that amount of screen space for your signature?

Signatures are out of control. We have very generous guidelines. 200 pixels tall by 650 pixels wide is more than enough screen real estate for you to express you individuality. That dimension includes your graphics AND any witty text you want to share.

If you don't know how to resize your clever photo, or are unable to determine whether your amazing graphic meets the guidelines, you probably don't need a signature to begin with.

Consider this your final warning. Bob Dole and the other mods don't have the time to babysit your stupid ass and send you a personalized invitation to follow the site's guidelines. Adjust your extremely clever and beautifully expressive signature to comply with the guidelines immediately, or lose your ability to have one at all.

How much would banning .gifs and other animated photos help??

I'll tone it down a bit.

You'll be fighting a losing battle on that one.

You might as well say what you mean:







Laz. :)

Does anyone ever look at those things??? I know I do not. Get rid of them would sure work for me.

Nah.. I use the "at work" option.

It adds nothing to the board.

So I should nix putting the entire Lord of the Rings saga into a .gif, and then putting it in my sig?

Observe my tastefully sized signature.

In fact, just to show off, I'm going to change to an even MORE tastefully sized signature. Give me a second.

I think many would be opposed to banning my sig.

Look how tasteful that is!

Actually, sigs like that should be banned. :D

What?? You don't like Paul Walker? :p

Last time I got my sig privlages taken away i didnt like it.

so I should be ok with mine now..

if its an issue please let me know

You can't even see him because of her big ass! :cuss:

Also, should sigs and avatars have the same rules applied to them as the ones in the girly pics thread? If I wanted to see a naked woman, I would go the the girly pics thread. If not, then never mind.

What??? And deprive people their Tim Berners-Lee given right to express themselves (over and over and over and over again) in all their 32 bit color glory?

Bob Dole would have the stupid things turned off if he didn't have to monitor the damned things to make sure some asshat didn't post a picture of some fat chick ****ing a donkey.

I'm with you on that.

Or, women can have naked men in their avatars. Just to even things out a bit.

Exactly! :thumb:

My chick isn't naked though and yes her ass is very very nice! :)

Go ahead and put your shirtless dudes on your sigs, dont bother me, it really isn't a double standard i dont think.

I was fair and made sure you got to see Paul in my sig, i did the sig for both the ladies and gents around here, not my fault her ass is BUMPIN"! :drool:

I have no idea what size my sig is. But I will find out with this post.

We have plenty of asshats that are up to the task.

im not allowed to have a sig :cuss:







:)

You are all Sig. Nazi's!

Is my sig ok? I just want to make sure so when Rush gets kicked out of school, I don't get kicked out by an extremely biased KU board. :)

Sure-Oz's sig merely promotes exercise and physical fitness.

Exactly, swimming is a great way to exercise, works all the muscles! :clap:

No it is not. The sig Nazi's clearly state it must be under 600 pixels wide. Your gonna be sent to the concentration camp. :deevee:

To be honest, that's not enough space for me to express my individuality. That would really only be adequate for me to express my views on Cheetos.

mmmmmmm cheetos :clap:

Mine's about 175x600, and that's huge... not that I ever see it anymore, because of all of your borderline nsfw sigs & avatars and your 50 mb videos. Bastards.

Sorry about that.

ROFL

Funny because it's true...

I just turned the sig option off :rolleyes:

My sig represents the greatness of the 85 reeruninals. :)

And atleast mine is sports related.

I need something fresh for my sig. About time I changed mine.

I put those members on "iggy".

Thank god i read this and resized mine. I don't know what I'd do if I lost my sig, I wouldn't be me.

I turned off sigs a long time ago. A little asshatedness goes a long way.

I think you mean "asshatness" or "asshattery"

I think your signature should be auto inserted on every post on the Planet. As a matter of fact on every post on every forum on the internet would work for me as well. :drool:

Nope. Asshatedness. It a new word for the lexicon. Your words don't sound dumb enough.

Wouldn't it be Asshattedness? Otherwise, the a is long. Like hate instead of hat.

Nuke them all.

Anyone who cries about it, sucks Al Davis' colostomy bag.

hey ... my sig doesn't have any gifs or animations :harumph:

They can be done away with as far as I'm concerned. I'm more interested in accessing the BB than some geek's right to free expression.

I re-sized mine.

Let's start a sticky to report the offenders, thus saving Bob Dole the time and effort. It's the least we can do to help him out. :)

I think that is a terrific idea.

shhhhhhhit ...... goatlickbuttscale will be trying to report my sig every other day.

Worthless bastard has a woody for my sigs

I kind of get the feeling that a lot of people get a woody for your sigs.

Perhaps if you resized them to board standards he wouldn't have a woody to report you.

Actually, I'd be more disturbed that he has a woody where you are concerned than anything else.

Is my sig ok cause i wanted to make sure i did it right.

Yours is wrong. Do it over.

lol skip that cold blooded but your right it's missing something.

my sig has been board standard for quite a well ... so then he started bitching about the file size of my sig.

now i just have quote ... i'm surprised he hasn't found some reason to bitch about that too.

ROFL

Sigs off. I haven't seen one in quite some time. Makes the board a lot easier to read.

Well i fixed my sig now.

Thanks for editing out my sig picture.

I'll shrink Boomer down.

You are missing the thrill of your life, buster.

No Kidding. Some of these sigs are so amazing you can get high just by licking the computer screen.

it would be nice if i were permitted to have one :( considering i posted a thread about this when i noticed my sig was gone... i never received a "warning" so.... so can i either get that warning or permission to have a sig?? i will adjust it if it's too big =)

there we go

agreed

You would be better served by something else along the lines of, "Dear Bob Dole, I regret my abuse of signature pictures and their size. I have seen the errors of my ways. You have shown me the light. I would be most appreciative if you, in your infinite wisdom, would please restore my ability to have a signature picture. I swear upon my ability to post on this board that if I ever violate the signature picture rule again, that you banish me for life from this board. - QukSsurfer."

Fear Bob Ross in the Bushes...

ALI'S SIG IS TOOOOOOOOOO LAAAAAAAARGE

Indeed. It is 43 pixels too tall.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

word

sig nazi's!

Thanks OldTownChief, I only have 2 more days that I have to wear it. I hope you don't mind me hich-hiking it for that amount of time.

For those who deprive themselves...
 

Keitzman: "Gunther, what is best in life?"
Cunningham: "Crush da Chahghas. See da Raydahs driven before you. Hear the lamentation of da Broncos."

:clap::clap::clap::clap:


Agreed; simply my two cents. Carry on.

This is the motto I've lived by since the start of internet back in the 50's.

Says the guy with a signature in blatant violation of the guidelines.
