Signature Limit Coming Into Effect

Raz
In the next few days I will be implementing a signature limit. This is basically down to some people abusing the unrestricted signatures that we currently have.
The restrictions will include:
* Size of signatures will be limited to 10 lines.
* Images can only be used if uploaded on these servers.
* Spamming in signatures no longer allowed (partially implemented)
Any suggestions/comments welcome.
Raz
Sticking this in the OTF for a while...
Treehuggerjanie
So are we allowed10 lines of stuff then?
bLooMiLiCioUs
damn - *goes to check her sig*
saucybird007
Does that mean if you have more than 10 lines now you will have to delete some stuff?
thorncrawler
what will happen, will they get a warning or will you just delete it?
Raz
Yup.
I don't really see the point of having long sigs, apart from making everyone scroll that bit more.
Raz
It's not in place yet. But it should give you an error message saying that you sig is too long and it won't save it.
bLooMiLiCioUs
so YOU will delete it??no warnings?
Treehuggerjanie
BORING...*yawn*
saucybird007
True. ok, thats
Oh, is minem blooms and Trees ok or will we have to shorten ours??
Raz
No, read my previous post. You won't be able to save it, when you try changing your sig.
bLooMiLiCioUs
yeah are ours fine?
burlyman
but if one already has a rather large sig (over 10) you will just leave it?
not that it affects me
Matrix_man

burlyman

bLooMiLiCioUs
didn't you parents name ya*snigger*
diegocala
Hey Call me, did you run out of names?
diegocala
My bad, you know (Give me) you are wasting the time of the Siggie makers who make you a new siggie everytime you have to change personas.
Raz
Just want to reassure everyone that this will NOT affect you, unless you decide to change something in your signature.
For sig images, if you used the sig upload in your profile, then you are unaffected.
About the green dots. Read this: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f13/t20392.html
burlyman
what about the smiley limit on sig being increased by a teeny weeny bit, Raz?
bLooMiLiCioUs
that bunny again:squeals:
LanceWindu
Thank you Raz!
I HATE long signatures with a passion.
Too bad one of my signature images has to go.
Fitch
Excellent decision Raz ! Bravo...
already wrecked 2 mouse wheels
Raz
9 smilies are not enough??
burlyman
no, sorry... i want to add a few more people
pweese
bLooMiLiCioUs
eeeeks that bunny again!!!!
burlyman
ssh jith
bLooMiLiCioUs
ok i'll disappear now *poof*
nazgulinthedark
is it just ten lines of writing for the sig, or is it like presing enter 10 times is how big the costum made sigs can be, are the ones you uplaod still 30k, or howevermuch it was?
JKozzy
Personally, as long as they're not insanely long, I think it's OK. Like Dave123's... his is pretty long but it's a wicked small font!
dave123
i agree
burlyman
yeah, daves in small font is actually smaller than some others that have 10 in big, or less with gaps
diegocala
Sounds like it, and there is not a difference between "ten lines of writing for the sig, and presing enter 10 times"
juggernaut26
don't matter to me much i don't have a sig!!!
SockHunter
I am sure we can find someone to make you another one
silver_tears
its called an optical mouse
Pablo G
shit Raz, you're breaking the OTF's balls
Pablo G
Although the ten lines thing is cool with me
jacksparrow22
is my sig too long?
Pablo G
just keep this part:
WHEN THERES A (GEORGE) BUSH AND A DICK (CHENEY) IN THE WHITE HOUSE, EVERYONE GETS F*CKED
burlyman
smileys
Captain REX
Ah crap, there went my adds for my stories, Raz!
LindsIsTightK
The only bad thing about that is now people can't use their hosted sigs which can be more then 30 kb. I've never had a problem making mine under 30 but I know a lot of other people do.
Kosta
WOO. sig limit! No more smart ass n00bies havin sigs that span over a mile long. Dont know if anybody remembers that n00b in the matrix forum wit "thisisnotreal" cut and pasted in his sig like a 1000 times.
silver_tears
Some sigs are way.way to long
But some are very nice the way they are
shadow_angel
Like mine...short,and right to the point
shadow_angel
I love John
silver_tears
and the devils are for what
Raz
I think this has had enough exposure in the OTF...
G.P
Will there be a limit in the size (in Kb) of the pics ? Because I had some serious slowdowns when scrolling in pages including 700 kb+ sigs
...
LanceWindu
The sigs limits are only 30 kb dude.
Aren't they Raz?
G.P
Was there a way to "bypass" that ? I'm sure I've seen a 700 kb sig... it was an animated gif somewhere in the X-men forum...
Raz
Just checked, yep it's 30k.
All keep this in mind.
This will not affect you unless you decide to change your signature. Only THEN will the new limits apply to you.
yerssot
and they can still use the -tags I take?
burlyman
so, about the smileys?
G.P
I checked: it was some not uploaded sigs...
Like this one (300 kb) http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=510092#post510092
Raz
That is not stored on our servers. That is the reason I am going to restrict images to the KMC servers only.
Burly, I think 9 smilies in a sig is more than enough
G.P
Thanks.
Wow: multiple forum sections moves/changes/creations , new mods, new dots & sigs policy... You're preparing the forum for the new millenium, aren't you ?
Fitch
I dunno Raz.....just 9...I meen he barely puts them there,just 9...
burlyman
fitch> waa
which side are you on
fine
mmm... heres a plan and a half... can i upload the little gifs onto a site and link them then?
?!
Raz
Wouldn't be possible, burlyman. The limit is set on pictures, not smilies.
yerssot
the new millenium? isn't that ... kinda late?
I mean, he only has 996 years to go
Mist
is my sig too big for this limit?
Mist
i believe it is......damn
Mist
hang on, im gonna delete some stuff.
LindsIsTightK
eeek -shudders at the thought- that was truly scary
wicker_man
Sounds good, i've got no problems with that.
Raz
Signature limit is now in affect.
It will only affect you when you try to change your current signature.
Fire
GREAT IDEA GO RAZ WOOHOOO GONE WITH THE ENDLESS SIGS
VallejoKid707
can we use the animated sigs???
Raz
Yes, as long as they are under 500x200 and less than 30k in size.
Hegemon875
So you're saying we can't even link to our sigs if we host it ourselves?
Raz
Yes. If it is remote hosted then we can't check to make sure it conforms to the sig limits we have.
For example, your current signature would not be allowed as it 96k and we only allow a maximum of 30k. To be honest if you had used JPEG instead of GIF you would have it under the limit.
I've attached your sig saved as a JPEG which is compliant to the new limits.
