    If you see a sig that is over the restrictions, please warn the post. Leeza is the sig queen and she's usually right on that.

    Taste is subjective and we are not going to delete sigs using that.

    I edit/remove an average of 10 sigs a day and I always check on any sigs that are warned (except sometimes when I'm at work). I agree that the sig limits should be smaller, but that is just our opinion, Master Quan. Most wish that they were bigger.

    As it is, the limits are set and I do my best to make sure that they are adhered to. If you see a sig that you object to, warn it and it will be checked out. As Del said, taste is taste though. But, of course, it's it's over the line for me, I remove it.

    PM me personally if a warn is missed and I will check it out, but I normally check on all warned sigs. Maybe what appears too large to you is actually just within the limits.

    I'll set to work.

    Oh, and did you get all of those ones I just warned down?

    The ones you just warned are all just barely within the limits, except one, which I will remove.

    These include any text in the signature outside images.
    Total file size of all images combined must not exceed 50 KiB (51,200 bytes).
    Any signatures not following these or any signatures with questionable or problematic content will be removed/edited by staff, and you may have your signature editing privileges temporarily disabled if this happens several times.
    Yeah, I know, and all those people have broken the size limits.
    Then Warn them or PM a mod, and Leeza will take care of it, as she usually does.

    I thought it INCLUDED text as part of the sig?

    That's a TINY size for a sig. A lot of people, like myself, really like graphic art and that's an awfully restrictive size. I think EoFF is strict when it comes to sigs, but your recommendations are like nazi strict. No offense. I think they're just fine as they are.

    The 250 pixels height limit does include text and I'm actually checking all of those sigs out at an 800 x600 resolution. Ends up that I will end up removing most of them because that is the resolution that the sig restrictions apply to. Usually I just check the limits at what my screen is set to, but that's not good enough.

    It doesn't matter, a pixel is a pixel is a pixel. But, 1280x1024.

    Yeah, as far as I know the resolution doesn't matter much, if at all. What does make a difference is the style settings you have. Unfortunately I can't remember which is the one that counts.

    The style setting is Classic with the avatars at the side.

    The resolution matters if there is a lot of text because then it keeps wrapping around to be way over the 250 pixel limit. And if the image is over 550 pixels in width it will start to stretch the tables.

    One thing that has to be taken into consideration is whether or not the staff member you PMed is on. It's much better just to warn a post of the person with a sig in violation, since warns get sent out to everyone on staff.

    But that completely goes against what the CKs tell me not to do.

    They always tell people NOT to tell them how to do their jobs.

    Reporting a post isn't telling us how to do a job, it's telling us that there's something that you think might be worth us looking into. We don't have to do anything, but it brings the person/post to our attention so that if we do see something that we see is wrong, then we can fix it.
