Some people didn't edit their sigs after the limit has been set, so some might still have more lines.

And just to make you know: I don't think it's fair either that the mods can have longer sigs and I want it to be changed as well.

What I am saying is there ARE sigs that have been changing ATFER the rule was made and they have MORE than 7 lines.

What about chat quotes?

The quote in my sig is about 10 lines long, and I have no images so look how small my sig is.

I'm not posting to get my sig checked, I'm a sig checker myself, I'm just wondering whether there's an exception for chat quotes that are usually are a good few lines long.

I myself am happy about the new restriction on sig size. Before the new rule, I would be scrolling down a topic and some members sigs would be like almost 3 times their post size.

Actually there was a rule for stacking:

NEW - The maximum height allowed is 420 pixels; this should allow plenty of room for whatever you place in your signature. Reference:

:/ even with seven line limit you can still break it. And as I said- if everyone can't be forced to abide by rules imposed on users, then why have it at all? Hell, Joe's sig even breaks the rules- ie he has two images over the 200x200 pixel limit.

._. the rules are broken and useless if they come off as elitist.

It's stupid if mods can have sigs breaking rules. Same sig rules for everyone I say. It's not like "I'm mod so I must have better sig!!1!1one"

Mods aren't allowed rule breaking sigs. I've deleted mods sigs in the past. The fact that sigs are 7 lines ISN'T a rule, it's some thing that Serebii added without consulting or telling anyone. The fact that his sig breaks the rules is in regards to his "my site, I'll do what I want" attitude.

I'm still sorta new here, so I was wondering if I could add a banner and link to the shop I work for in my sig without breaking a rule

Okay, I need to ask. What about all these trainer cards? They don't fit the 2:1 ratio of banners, but the cards slightly exceed 200 pixels... How would that work?

It's a 40,000 pixel total.

Standard trainer card = 228 x 148

228 x 148 = 33,744

33,744 < 40,000

You know, I think the maximum height ought to be reduced slightly. It's still a bit too long. Most of the time, the sig would be twice the length of the post and that gets annoying, real fast.

Not to be disrespective to a staff member, but I'll pick an example. RaZoR LeAf's sig a few posts above. I see a lot of those from merely browsing around randomly.

Keep pictures 200x200 pixels or Smaller.
Click to expand...

can the picture be 400x100 or vis versa?

i can't see why it can't because they would have the same amount of pixels
