[quote="Amanda"]The new maximum sig dimensions are
way too small imo. I don't get what was wrong with the old rules at all. If people were breaking those rules, shouldn't they be punished and not us? If some of their sigs were "distracting", why don't those people get warnings instead of making the rest of us suffer?

When did I say people were breaking the rules? People were following the rules, but the rules were too lenient, which resulted in gigantic, distracting signatures.
[quote="Amanda"]Also, what about next Christmas when people will want to display multiple sigs made by Secret Santas/friends to not make them feel bad...?[/quote]
Uhh... sig rotator?
[quote="Amanda"]Don't say we should shrink them because that usually reduces their quality (I've already shrunk my two Kiara sigs by a great deal and they look many times worse than they did originally).[/quote]
Yes, shrinking your existing signatures will reduce their quality. Shrinking the size of wallpapers shrinks their quality as well. With the new signature rules, graphic artists will simply adapt and make beautiful signatures geared towards the new dimensions.
[quote="SnowyCheetah"]Also I'd like to point out that using the fact that other forums have even stricter rules for sigs, or disallow them completely, is not a valid argument to justify this new rule. It just means we're sinking to the level of the admins on those other sites who are too big a jerks to let people put a reasonable amount of what they want to down there.[/quote]
I don't think that's fair. Admins try to find a happy medium for signature size limits. Just because I took some advice from other administrators doesn't mean they're jerks or that I "sunk to their level." Some people have smaller screen resolutions and I don't think it's fair for them to have to see giant signatures that practically take up their entire screen. Think about it - a signature the size of 700x500 (our previous limit) takes up more than 70% of a screen with 800x600 resolution, which not only stretches out the forum and makes it unusable, but annoying to have to scroll through 500 pixels of signatures just to see the post each time. And yes I've gotten complaints. And don't say that they should disable signatures. I think we all can make a small sacrifice so that the forum can be enjoyed by
all.
[quote="SnowyCheetah"]Also, there's a third option. It's called ENFORCING THE RULE WE HAD! Unless this rule is going to be treated like the last one was, in which case there's no problem because we can all have our sigs as big as we want anyways. :3[/quote]
Please stop making the same argument 5 times in a row. This was my reply the first time you said that:
[quote="Moka"]None of the staff have noticed members whose sigs exceeded the previous limits. If you saw people exceeding those limits then you should have reported them - and not complain later on that nothing was done about it. [/quote]
