Author Topic: Signature Rule (Read 3006 times)

LittleOne · « **on:** January 23, 2006, 09:11:35 AM »

It has become apparent to me, and was brought to my attention again, that the signatures are getting out of control. Everyone is stunned by the awesome creations that the signature makers produce for you and you wanna show your appreciation by using them. However this leads me to PogoAddiction's New Rule/Policy regarding signatures:

- You will only be allowed two (2) images in your signature area.
- The total area of your signature may not be more than 250 pixels in height and 770 pixels in width
View the Signature Template

These new rules are subject to the opinion of the staff and are by no means an exact science.
Any signatures not complying with the rules will have all of their signatures removed, at which time you will need to replace one or two of them.

This is being done because an increasing amount of space and loading time is being spend on signatures. It takes long for pages to load with increased amount of signatures. Keep in mind we still have people that use dial up. Also I know from a personal perspective, that I hate spending 10 minutes scrolling down a page of 2 posts, lol. I am sure you will agree with the reasoning here even if you are someone with more than 2 signatures.

I was thinking that same thing Little, altho I am also guilty of showing mine off. Maybe we can just rotate them daily.

MrsHooter · « **Reply #5 on:** January 23, 2006, 11:14:23 AM »

I'm not sure how to put more than one on either. I think I will switch though. Getting bored with the one I have now.

ok i will cave and only put up 2 1 by richard and 1 by truely i can not leave truely's out it just too good

HornsAndAHalo · « **Reply #7 on:** January 23, 2006, 01:29:56 PM »

I just want to emphasize that there it is a TWO sig rule, I have seen some members who have only had two take one of theres down, so now they only have one. Please feel free to put one back up, as the rule states TWO not one you silly people!

It really is nice to see everyone sigs so add two and just switch them up every now and then.

thank you, little, this will make it easier to find the actual post, lol.

Rptr777 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2006, 03:36:40 PM »

but horns it states a size limit also does that mean im supposed to add one thats small or can i put my duck one back on

HornsAndAHalo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2006, 04:06:10 PM »

As little stated:

You will only be allowed two (2) images in your signature area
- You will only be allowed one (1) image in your signature area when your signature is bigger than standard 2 to 2 1/2 inches TALL signature. If you think its too tall it probably is
- You will only be allowed to use a signature that is no more than 4 inches in height

That means, you can have 2 sigs that are 2 - 2 1/2 inches (each)

OR

If you have a sig that is more than 2 - 2 1/2 inches you may only have ONE

AND

even if you have only one, it may not be more than 4 inches in height

Does that help any?

woefulgal · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2006, 05:48:47 PM »

Since I am quite sure that this new rule was put into place because of me, I went ahead and just deleted all of mine so that they wouldn't be a problem anymore. Thanks.

Edited to add that I appreciate all the siggies that were made for me here! Please don't think I am being ungrateful because I truly did enjoy wearing them while I could.

olivia · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2006, 05:56:02 PM »

awwwwwww come on

we just forget that some members are on dial up
can't wait to see what you put up here now!!!!

Sorry, I just noticed this. Adam explained it well. There were many many people with 3 or 4 siggies not just you. Olivia, woe, warmish, angel(a moderator), myself for a while. So I didnt want to take the option completely away, I just figured (when someone else mentioned my same thoughts) that I would get a handle on the situation. Hence why I didnt say 1 siggy period, not butts and ors ifs. I made several revolving rules regarding the signatures, that way more than one could still be shown. So feel free to put your 2 of your siggies back up, or one "larger" one. Just keep in mind nothing to exceed 4 inches. As it can be a hastle to sift through.

Another reason was the time it takes to load. I am sure you have experienced it from time to time that the form takes a while to load. Its not entirely the signatures, but every bit helps and the problem is 10 times worse for someone on a dial up connection.

So please don't feel like I am point out anyone person for this. As I mentioned there were many, of which I listed a few of the more active members including myself and angel.

angel · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2006, 11:27:18 PM »

when my son was 13 and started wearing cologne, i used to tell him...c'mon Bubba, sometimes LESS is MORE lol...i just think we all need to apply that theory and rotate our lovely sigs throughout the week.

woefulgal · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2006, 10:36:29 PM »

To all PA members: Please accept my humble apologies for over-reacting and assuming that this new rule was put in place because of me. As so many of you pointed out here in this thread, I wasn't the only one guilty of abusing the signatures in my profile. I was having a bad weekend personally and was overly sensitive to things when this rule was put in place. I'm sorry if I have caused anyone any pains with regards to taking down my signatures entirely and while I am not putting them back up right away, I am sure that I will do so at some point in the future. Right now, I'm still feeling a bit too emotional to sanely do something with regards to the signature block. Thank you all for trying to make me feel like it wasn't just me. dani

PogoPlayer · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2006, 10:41:04 PM »

Aww, I hope everything is going better for you now Dani! Just know that all of us here love you for who you are!

You can always come here for a chuckle or a hug!

LittleOne · « **Reply #21 on:** April 05, 2006, 02:08:56 PM »

Alright everyone. I dont have many rules. I don't make many rules. This was one the staff felt needed to be implemented. If you are being contacted by any staff member, please adjust your signatures. If you can't obey this simple rule, I get rid of the signatures period. If you are not a staff member, you should contact a staff member if you have an issue with someones signature size. If they are to big, resize them. I do not appreciate being talked back to and the signatures being put into place after I removed them after being ignored. This is the only warning. I'm a nice guy, but disrespect is the fastest way to piss me off.

DevilsFan29 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2006, 02:23:33 PM »

Are my sigs too big if you want i'll tke one off

LittleOne · « **Reply #23 on:** April 05, 2006, 02:25:58 PM »

2 inches or two sigs. Yous are find the way they are. If they were stacked as opposed to being side by side, then they's be to big. But they are side by side so they arent to big. If they were and I had NOTICED it I would have dropped ya a pm

Gandalfa82 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 05, 2006, 04:58:42 PM »

never seen this the 1st time around so will keep that in mind when I make my sigs. Now to check my sig size
Posted on: April 05, 2006, 05:54:16 PM

size wise it seems to work but if it is to flashy just say so and I can drop it alittle (was planing on making it faster and more movement with the energy area, lol). No I am not offended by this just wondering if the amount of anamation changes any of the size rules.

<--- Used to use dail-up and knows the problem with Sigs being to flashy.

little: how menny pixels is that?

keystone_333 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 07, 2006, 06:38:27 AM »

I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like he is using a standard of 640 x 250 for pixel size of sig.

five4fighting · « **Reply #27 on:** April 07, 2006, 06:46:40 PM »

thanks little- this is also more of a issue for us dialup users. i hope someday I'll be able to get DSL (I live in ten buck five lol, and have no providers)

HornsAndAHalo · « **Reply #28 on:** August 22, 2006, 12:49:49 PM »

I know we have had a lot of new members lately so I just wanted to pop this topic back up about the sig rules so the new members are aware, and just as a reminder to the "old" members of the site!

wcactusflower_ · « **Reply #29 on:** August 23, 2006, 08:41:04 PM »

ok tks little

i need to take one off then

i got 2 plus a tiny one

LittleOne · « **Reply #30 on:** August 23, 2006, 10:58:48 PM »

well your three arent bigger than the size limit so your fine

HornsAndAHalo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 24, 2006, 06:09:15 AM »

I guess should also point out that most of the time, if there is an issue with your sig area, Little will take care of it by deleting it, and we send a PM to let you know it was too big.

Btrfly95 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 21, 2006, 10:42:08 AM »

I am not sure if this will help out anyone but when I made tags I used to love wearing them all the time but you cant wear all at once. I use a rotator and its free, its at Randomimage.net.

kikihellman · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2006, 07:06:47 AM »

another bump-up to remind folks that sigs need to be limited in scope and real estate. we have many that are WAY too big, and some that take up more than one line.

they need to fit in a single, 2--2 1/2" high line. you may stack them as long as they don't go past that.

it becomes difficult to see the actual post when sigs get out of hand this way, and it's very difficult for folks on dial-up (the pages take forever to load).

HornsAndAHalo · « **Reply #34 on:** September 25, 2006, 07:36:18 AM »

Thanks for reminding everyone Kiki, I am also going to post a reminder of this in the sig and avatar section just for those who might not always visit this section

BadgeHo · « **Reply #35 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:16:53 AM »

Kiki, I hope it is okay for me to bump this once again. I know that many who have dial up the two line and too big siggy's take much time to load....I have also notice that with my DSL, there are several times when I go to threads where the two line and big siggy's are that it is taking more time to upload them
Little had posted this temp plate before for everyone to know if their siggy's fit, so hopefully it is okay to post that too.
I know sometimes it is hard to not put many things in to show off, I have been guilty too, but we all must try to be considerate of everyone else.

kikihellman · « **Reply #36 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:53:28 AM »

thanks for the reminder, BH!

the biggest thing to remember is that this is a forum--if you post here, i'm guessing you want to be heard. sometimes it's difficult to find the words hidden amongst all the purty pictures. and just from my standpoint, i tend to admire the creativity much more when there's just one or maybe two sigs--they stand out more. try to take a cue from our little miss fashion, olivia, who does such a great job coordinating her sigs and avatars to each other and to the occasion.

olivia · « **Reply #37 on:** October 20, 2006, 05:21:43 PM »

here i am all dressed up and no where togo - but for a bears game

good idea to bump this up BH - ty

and ty to kiki for the nice compliments

yes thanks BH...good idea

only prob I have with this site, I don't know where to post.
Used to like BA, but that site is going nuts.
Would appreciate some input how guys sepereate your boards in here

funnygirl · « **Reply #40 on:** November 27, 2006, 05:02:43 AM »

There's a lot to read here. The sections are pretty well-defined on the main page. I can only suggest you go through the categories, choosing the ones that appeal to you.............read, read, read and then post in the appropriate topics that interest you. Welcome to PA. Your first stop might be the general section...........We Wanna Know........there is an introduction thread where you can introduce yourself to the group.

MJClark5 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2006, 08:46:54 AM »

Welcome angel, if you check your messages which you'll find in the blue tool bar above ie...home help search etc...you'll find a welcome letter from the great Kiki, that will help you a lot too. And in that same blue tool bar you can find things using the search as well. Good Luck and have fun looking around

LittleOne · « **Reply #42 on:** November 27, 2006, 09:35:13 AM »

The main difference I think that you will notice is that I am a bit more organized. Some of your boards have boards inside of them. Like the "Breakroom" which is for just any kinds of talking, has a few other boards in it, like the "Joker's Ball" for jokes, the Receipe board, the Weekly Poll Board, the Sports Bar, and so forth. Doesnt make as much to scroll through and looks alot cleaner in appearance. Its a small change but you'll get used to it. Welcome!

TRCTrish · « **Reply #43 on:** June 11, 2007, 09:12:36 AM »

I've only been here one day and have already seen some beautiful sigs!! I would think that by making them much smaller, we could comply with the 'two rows' rule and show off more than just a couple, and still not take up too much bandwidth.

LittleOne · « **Reply #44 on:** August 02, 2008, 01:40:57 PM »

This is a blanket warning for everyone. Review your signatures. Only members allowed to have stacking signatures are MOTM because of the special siggy I place in there. Otherwise you need to conform to the rules. Please and thank you.

Hi Carrie. The icons are purchased in the SHOP. There is a link to it on the blue bar at the top of the page. They are 1000 PA tokens each.
