I know recently there is alot of nuclear warhead flying around, lotsa sig getting nuke but please bear with the moderators. They are merely doing their job, some get nuke some don't get nuke...it's a matter of time.

It has nothing to do with mods preference. They only nuke if they see one (means you are the unlucky one)
Most of the mod were complaining user under Xbox sub has the craziest gamertag ever which exceed 150KB.
Heard there is alot of user dissatisfactions too from the Area 51 & thus the purpose of this announcement.

So to prevent further nuclear fallout, please refer to the R&R below.
It's just a guideline, just try not to exceed the allowed sized by a big margin and your sig will be safe. smile.gif

Signature and Avatar regulations

Avatar
Avatar size is limited in board default to 20kb in size and 128X128 pixels in size. However please do not put objectable images as your user avatars. This include sexually explict images, political messages, or edited avatar of other members with the intention to insult or flame.

Signature
Height of your signature should not exceed 15 lines of 10px text. Images, graphics and text included. There is no restrictions to length but images should not distort forum templates viewed at a 1024X768 resolution.

Also, signature sizes are calculated based on the total size of all images. Please be informed that the total maximum size of all images in your signature is 70kb. There will be lenient enforcement but don't take things for granted.

Beside size, signature content should not contain the following materials:-
All Types

    * Commercial advertising (except links to threads in the Trade Zone)


Text Based

    * Referral link for commercial purposes.
    * Links directing to illegal and objectable materials (warez, cracks, pornography, pyramid schemes, referral ID's)
    * Links of a malicious nature. e.g. those that crash your browser, trigger popup floods or emulate BSOD's
    * Flaming/Insults of another member
    * Political statements
    * Religious statements

Image Based

    * Flash material with embedded sound
    * Images of objectable materials.
    * Overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash)
    * Flash signatures are not enabled due to the fact that it supports actionscripting which in turn could be regarded as a security risk to the board as well as unsuspecting visitors.
    * Spoiler tags
    * Folding@Malaysia members should link only one stats signature image to reduce load time and prevent slowdowns.
    * You are allowed a maximum of 6 userbars in your signature.

If you see any violations of Avatar and Signatures rules. Please use the report button on any post of the offender. Violations of any rules will mean the removal of your signature and avatar.

Warnings are issued for any signature or avatar regulations breaches. These warnings are meant as a log of your actions. Suspensions will only be meted out should you commit a repeat offence.

I understand the frustration of certain user, that's why the use of this thread.

Many moderators in Area 51 express their dissatisfaction with user from Xbox sub with sig that is "crazily" oversize.

So in order to stop the moderator from being a pain in the ass tongue.gif Try to minimize the use of too many tags, or use GIF to decrease the sig size.

Personally i think sig under 100KB should be fine since the masses are no longer 56k crawler, any sig bigger than that file size...i really can't do anything but seeing an all out nuclear war.


PS : The mods only nuke the one they see, so if you think they are treating you unfair. You can always use the report button to bring down some "brothers" with you laugh.gif

if i hyperlink a gamercard.jpg to a line of text in the sig, then the file size of the gamercard has no bearing on the sig limit, correct?

If you hyperlink to a great wall of china also no problem laugh.gif

That one sure get bomb!

If it's a pure gaming forum i think it's okay since majority of gamers are on broadband, but this involves every other section of LYN.net, then we console couch become small bug.
I don't have the say on this matter but LYN.net taiko has spoken in Area 51, the sig R&R just serve as a guideline for us to refer.

Try not to exceed allowed size by big margin - I think 71-100KB should be fine and mod shouldn't nuke it especially it's a single gamertag. (just my opinion)

Multiple Tag - Still, try to maintain the size below 100KB.

Tripple Tag - This is abit too much because more than 3 tags often create distortion to other forumer view, especially the file size.


Unless people can vouch not to post outside xbox sub then i will have the authority to setup a special rules. Otherwise, let just make do with it and game on!
