Signatures

[Darthmaul]

so, what do you have for signature restrictions on your forum? Do you allow sigs? Do you allow sig advertising/images? Etc., feel free to share in detail! :tongue:

I allow sigs but remove them if they get to big.

I allow sigs but remove them if they get to big.

I usually notify a member if I find a sig too big
Other than that, I have no problems with sigs

 

[StevenF50]

Yeah, I remove then notify them.

I normally allow images, but not always.

 

[StevenF50]

I allow smallish images.

I find this quite a hard thing to judge, at the end of the day it would depend on what sort of forum it is. Some forums need big signature spaces, but I prefer smaller ones. Some sigs can really get in the way when you are trying to read the forum post.

 

[StevenF50]

Yeah I saw one which was massive and it put me off the forum.

Sigs are fine in my opinion. But I always put a limit on them so it doesn't make the forum look ugly.

I agree with Terry on this one, i put a limit on them, so it doesn't end up taking up a whole page, because if it does, it looks very ugly.

Honestly, I see no need for a limit. If I add one, a couple people will just abuse it, and I really have no way of judging the appropriate size unless I check the size of each image/text link and then add it up. That can be painfully tedious and boring, and nobody wants that
At the end of the day, I am fine with members having signatures, and if I see one that has too many images or something like that, I'll let them know. Otherwise, I just let bygones be bygones
