Signature Restrictions Questions

[DandyDon]

I never knew why SB had a 4 line limit including blank lines on Sigs, but I have been called on it more than once.

I also remember from Tos or Faq that SB smilies are the only images allowed in Sigs.

Have these rules changed, or are we just being easier until the board runs smooth again? I am seeing a lot of off-board images in Sigs, as well as more than 4...??

Not trying to cause trouble - just asking what I can do now?

Quit asking questions???

The Signature Police has decided to resign, having been made redundant by a software patch...

The patch may cause part of your signature to disappear.

Oh, the Tos (rules) have always been to limit Sigs to 4 lines including blank lines, and the reminder "Your Signature (please limit to 4 (blank) lines as per the TOS)" was added to the Edit Sig page a year or so ago - after I was called down on it a couple of times for not setting a better example.

I noticed how large yours was when you joined. I wondered how the Mods might deal with it, since we try to be nicest to new members, but need to enforce standards. I do hope you'll rework it in a way that you like.

You can always use SB's Countdown timer (available on the Edit Profile page).

Don't worry DandyDon.... I was "scolded" rather quickly when I joined.... I wasn't used to a site that had such restrictions.... lol.
My sig has had several reconstructions.....
I still think mine is smaller than most.. Not to be in competition but mine seems smaller than yours... Oh, that didn't sound right.... lol.... You know what I mean, less lines..... Guess I'll have to check out the timer El Orans mentioned....

Oh you were, huh? WE have scolding Mods? :11: I dunno, never been a Mod nor would want to. Too much work, too little pay or anything else. I have known a couple who seemed to enjoy the scolding too much but figured it was all personal. This being the larger cyber scuba board in the world, what such a vast number of forums, such important issues like safety & operating budgets in face of computer server fraud, and so forth - I guess they have to have some standards. I don't know how the new automatic limiting software works, but I guess it treats all the same? Maybe it's reacting to offsite images, which are also not supposed to happen.

Every member is allowed the same number of pixels (75).

Every member is allowed the same number of pixels.

Which is...? Curious minds want to know.
