New Sig Rule

Post by Sam! »

I know people really don't want new rules, but I keep noticing people with HUGE TEXT in their sigs. It's really rather annoying. You have a six word post with big green text in your sig, it's SO ANNOYING. I think just like there is a size limit for graphics, there should be a text size limit too.

you have big text in yours?

I think taht the size of the text is ok...its not like it is huge to a point of annyoance...

True some grab your attention (like Jennas "Fuck you") haha...

But signatures is to express a persons feelings and their life and if they want big text becuse they don't have alot in their sig i think its ok...

I don't want to see a whole page of it - that should be limited like the length of it ....



But i think pic. size is good at where it is because really you don't want huge pics either...



I dunno...i think its fine

Right but it's a 500 character limit. Though it will only let me do 497. I've tested it.



500 HUGE characters is a lot more prominent than 500 regular ones. And I'm talking even bigger than mine. I'm deciding whether or not mine is obnoxious.

i think yours is good...like good size...

but i see what you mean w/ the whole size thing (500 total small ~vs~ 500 total large)...



There should be a length total like inches wise rather then total letters...

Inches doesn't work, not everyone has the same screen/resolution. I think there just needs to be a limit for text size in a sig.



You want a good example, and I know Erin will know I'm not trying to pick on her here, but BarbiesAreEvil has a good example. It's lines and lines of LARGE GREEN TEXT.

Hey, where is everybody else on this one?? Come on people, we want your opinions. I personally agree. I think it is rather annoying when the text size is outragoues. There should be a limit. AIM USER is right though, it is self expression. But self expression should have a limit. We dont need 500 characters of size 1000, it does get annoying. I like the size of Samz, its not annoying at all, just enough to grab your attention.













....Why arent there more moderators for this forum??....
Blame it on the yellow bananas..they just sit there..all..yellow-like!!

report users with this (report one of their posts and just explain the issue is not with the post but with their signature)



welcome to the msg i give to people who do this.



Your signature, although within the guidelines and characters of the rules, is too large sizewise. On my very large screen resolution of 1600X1200, your signature takes up more than half my screen lenghtwise. Please either bunch the text together on 1 line, or remove a paragraph or 2.



Thanks



sometimes I edit it for them... sometimes i let them do it... depending on what is in the sig.

Say I see someone with like size ten text all the way through, could I knock it down to 8? Or is that prohibited?



I guess if there will be no rule, it's really a mod issue.

Sometimes it is annoying when you try to read a text and you get it mixed up with what the post is lol. I agree with Samz, there should be a limit on the size of the font though.
