Can any one tell me why mine was removed?

It had been more or less been the same for months?

No mention on here why it was removed or what was wrong

Generally, I won't remove a sig unless and until it is reported here. Once it's reported here, and goes outside the rules, it will probably be removed (with a little bit of lenience where it's not too bad).

Only if a sig is hugely outside the rules will I remove it first, but some of the other SMods will remove sigs as they browse.

Yours was reported here, and then I removed it. Them's the breaks.

Ok, the story with text and images as far as I'm concerned is that if you have an image, the height of the image and the text should not exceed 125px.

I can't fully remember now, but I think your sig was removed as it was centred as well. As far as I'm concerned, the rule against having sigs that are lengthier than 300px is a little redundant, because to me, the rules are (a) to stop sigs breaking up the fluidity of threads and (b) [redundant reason] to help pages load faster for users. Since few people would bother with dialup now, that's not a huge problem.

I don't see the need for sigs to make major statements that say 'look at meeeeee!' If I want to read a sig, I'll just read it, but it shouldn't sidetrack from the thread.

Why is centering an image bad?

hullaballoo

I suppose because it breaks up threads. It's too much of a statement in the middle of a thread and detracts from the fluidity of the thread.

Your sig certainly wasn't the worst around, but it had to be removed once it was reported here because otherwise we'd be operating on double standards, and that's not right.

It helps a lot if you use [noparse]small sized text[/noparse].

But its not against the rules to center it is it?

The image was reported for image and text but if I had the same sig but not centered would it be ok?

I just prefered it like that.

hullaballoo

It is yeah. It probably would have been ok if it wasn't centred, though there is a rule against referral links. Put up your sig again and we'll have a look see.

What do you mean by referral links? as in pimping sites & services or linking to anything

GDM - too high.

From what I remember of it, the 2 links added with the extra 2 blank lines (and obviously the picture being the max height already) made the sig quite large looking and if everyone had the same, I would estimate the page length would be doubled. I remember comparing it to a short post with no sig right under yours and your short post appeared aprox double the size purely due to the sig.

Edit: That sig you provided in the box is quite hard to judge. I'm sure the powers that be wouldn't mind seeing it as your actual sig in place again to fairly judge it.

Hagar

User Mutant Fruit has an asbolutely giant sig. 2048 * 1536 :eek:

It's 9mb. That's way out of order.

Probably intended as a joke "SigPo I Love You" but in the meantime it's appearing on all 4,852 of his posts across Boards and murdering our dial-up users. A size 10 kick up the arse might be in order.

Ask me do I care, I dare yea. Severed pig's head is not on mate and you know it.

Edit: Since the term isn't filtered, its not against any rules to use it once it's not directed at some.

cast_iron

I think you've missed my point. Some people may find some things offensive that others don't - that all. Personally, I find neither yours or Smahey's sig offensive.

I do find it funny that you regularly report people here yet break the very same rules yourself.

Oh, and I don't care if you care or not. Your sadly mistaken if you think I give a damn.
