Aye, that's correct, cheers.The Recliner wrote: »You don't have to send a PM, read what it says again, especially the bit that is in bold
Ideally people would send PM's but people stopped doing it because they were getting abuse for it
So instead they link to the profile and the Admins snip the sigs when they see them
As stated in the opening post of this thread, I don't think it is a typo as that is the way the process has been working for the last while
Long ago sigpo was a group of people dedicated to ridding the world of large signatures so they set up this thread to get like minded people politely notifying users of large sigs, community looking after itself. But, aye, people ended up getting grief for doing it and it caused them problems so they didn't bother PMing the user, instead posted here the offending username.
This has worked fairly well for YEARS until recently where some people, I think, are using this thread to get back at people that annoy them. So, feedforward is thankfully looking into new sig policies that the community will be happy with. Until that time (which I think should be soon) we're stuck with the old method of reporting sigs (incidentally if you want to report a sig in private just PM me).
Maybe I should wipe everything in the first post and say [sigrules] "If you see someone with a large/offending sig please post here" to be honest as it would take away the confusion! I'll leave that until my hangover disappears though
Does that make more sense?!0 -

thanks for that Gordon. I don't think you need to go that far! but it might be worth tidying up the first posts contradictions in the rules for reporting?
eg:These rules however, are not a perfect solution, as some feel the need to break them. And that is where the SIGPO come in. If you see a user who's sig is in breach of the aforestated rules, then post a link to their profile here and an Admin will will snip the sig when they get to it.
Remember though, boards is a community, why not pm the user and give them a chance to adjust their sig themselves? You don't have to, but the Admins won't have time too. Some users would appreciate the chance to keep their sigs within the rules if they knew they were breaking them0 -

Ok so your saying the person whos sig might be 5 pixels to large gets their sig deleted without being notified or without being given the 48hours to change, hardly fair now?
The main issue i had was that people weren't saying if they had notified or not, they have to say if they have notified them or not when posting here right?0 -
Yeah, might take that copacetic, ta.

I'm not going to put rules on people that are out to help out, if they can it'd be smashing if they PMd the user, but I'm not expecting that. If someone felt uneasy PMing another user out of the blue then they may not report the offensive signature, and then there will be upset people and no change.The main issue i had was that people weren't saying if they had notified or not, they have to say if they have notified them or not when posting here right?
I took it that if someone did not say anything - then they haven't done anything, so I snipped the sig as I don't warn people, so how will they get time to change their sig if they don't get warned?!
Incidentally homer_simpson, your sig is still too big!

The backpage image isn't, sorry.
It's more than 20KB by itself and also a few px too high (no biggie but limit is 125).
The total is 20KB for all images.
I used http://www.resizeyourimage.com/ to make it a bit smaller so it fits the rules.
You'll have to change the other image for something less heavy or use software to make it lighter.0 -

Too high, no biggie but there is a limit for a reason.
Nah, dude!
Would it be alright if I left 1 of them? If I go 25px smaller they might be too small to scan.0 -

I will have to say no out of principle (cannot set a precedent) but maybe Gordon will see it differently.Black_Knight wrote: »Nah, dude!

Here are the two of them reduced to 125x125:
