Signature length limit

[cara.mel]

I believe that as a forum gets bigger you can't just use judgement on 'oh that looks too big', because being subjective and you'll get people saying 'he was allowed to do it, why can't i'

Most people are sensible with sigs here but maybe if there was a size limit in terms of both pixels and kb it could be helpful.
Ie x lines of text at normal font size when viewed from 1200x800 (or whatever it is) resolution, or can be no bigger than x pixels in length with combined pictures and text.

I know you can turn off signatures altogether but a lot of them are helpful to see what subjects people do etc


On another note, some transparency between the mods and the common plebs would be nice in terms of what suggestions are being done/considered (ie I have not heard from my mod actions suggestion but I know they tend to write Moderator Action when they do some mod things but not others now, and it would be nice to see their codes they operate on so I can understand them, and if I should be aware of this at all or any requirements I must follow as a subject mod )

No such feature or module exists to moderate the pixel size of signatures. Anyone with a clearly disruptive or offensive signature will be dealt with by a global moderator.

The moderator action line is part of moderator policy. It is not always adhered to, but meh, I have the moderation logs to know if anyone's been abusing the old power. As for more transparency, whenever something significant happens I always make a post about it.

Inconsistency in "moderator action" lines would be my fault, a lot of the time I forget to include that bit, especially when moving threads.

Will take more care in future if it bothers people.

You're not the only one who forgets LOL.

Yes but what actions have you been told to do?
SHould I know about them as a subject mod?

[ninwa]

Huh??
I haven't been *told* anything ... I just use my common sense ... so if a uni question is in the VCE forum I'll move it to the uni forum ...

[cara.mel]

how did you know to write moderator action in maroon + bold font etc

[bubble sunglasses]

 Is maroon exclusive here, as it was for Hirohito's car?

[ninwa]

When moderating other forums (and this one), I tend to either note it in red or just simply edit it and add a post on my own detailing the changes.

Personally, I think we should limit number of images in signatures to one. A reasonable sized image could be, at maximum, 400x300 - give or take - at <100kb.

As for text...I guess there's a text limit already (x number of characters?). Perhaps this can be tweaked?

What does everyone think about these limits?

1. This is what costa's sig looks like if you use 1024x768 resolution:

It is an extreme example yes, but it is the one that made me think 'just what *is* too big here? (I am aware other people also have large sigs, please don't see it as a personal attack. If everyone had sigs that big, how much scrolling would one have to go through to see one line responses in their actual post?

2. I have noticed that you think every post I make recently is rubbish, possibly related to the fact I am one of those people who doesn't understand humans have feelings. If you have a bone to pick with me, do it privately. If you don't have anything constructive to say, I'm not interested in hearing it. I still remember your posts from a month ago.

1. if you don't like it, msg a global mod and ask them to take it down.
I personally have no problem with it, as I rarely ever see his posts. he wants to promote his music, I choose to scroll past it.

2. lolwut?

2. If you want, I can find lots of quotes.

You know exactly what I am talking about.
I am still open to rebuilding a friendship, but you don't seem to want it. Good luck in life mate.
