Signature Rules
Firstly, we should point out that there is no limit to the number of images you can have in your signature.
- Images cannot exceed a width of 600 pixels or a height of 200 pixels. This includes when on their own and when stacked. For example, you can't have two 600px-wide images next to each other, or two 301px-wide images next to each other. Either way, the total width would be more than 600 pixels.
- Images in your signature cannot exceed 120,000 pixels in size. This is the total of the width and height restrictions (600x200).
- The maximum signature height, including text, is 300 pixels - the same height as this image. This is measured from the very top pixel to the very bottom pixel, excluding the ruled line between post and signature.
- The largest text size allowed for signatures is "Large".
- The following forum rules also apply to signatures:
- Illegal wares and activities are not to be linked to
- Sexually-explicit content is not allowed
- No flaming or offensive text is allowed
- Plagiarised images are not allowed
Upon breaking any of these rules, the following warnings will be imposed. The warning number collates to the rule number.
- If images, alone or stacked, exceed the image height or width limit, the user will be notified of this and given 48 hours in which to change their signature. If this is not done, the offending images will be removed and a 5% warning will be issued.
- See 1.
- If a member's signature's total height exceeds 300 pixels, the user will be notified of this and given 48 hours in which to change their signature. If this is not done, their signature will be removed and a 5% warning will be issued.
- Any text larger than the "Large" text size will be shrunk down to "Large".
With the main forum rules, general ruling will be used as stated in the Forum Rules thread.
