The maximum overall size for signatures is 150 pixels high by 550 pixels wide - this also includes text as well.
File sizes should be no larger than 50KB. Smaller is preferred as we need to be mindful of our members on dial up access.
Below is an image depicting the maximum size for signatures. Are YOU overcompensating for a much smaller problem?
Inappropriate content includes;
- Too large, or file size exceeds recommended size.
- Pornographic, violent or otherwise offensive images, language etc. This may include racist remarks, slander etc...
- If the avatar/signature is overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash)
- Audio. These are distracting for our members, so do not have audio in your signature.
- Your signature may not advertise a competing site or alternative to .doshomik, or advertise a commercial venture. .doshomik has its own advertising, this is the only acceptable (commercial) advertising on .doshomik. This has been an issue lately. Staff are aware of it and will take action against any offending signatures we may see.
- And of course, do not contain links to, or use your signature to link to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes, warez, cracks, pornography, pyramid schemes, referral ID's, ebay listings and requesting donations.
- Please do not include signature links of a malicious nature. e.g. those that crash your browser, trigger popup floods or emulate BSOD's.
In case the above is not clear enough. Remember this clarification:
- Please remember that the 150x550 limit includes images and text TOGETHER.
- For an example... you can't have a 150x550 image and then include more images/text after that. However you can have more than one image as long as they don't pass the maximum size of 150x550.
- Also, you can not include a 150x550 image and also include another image after that.
- The total maximum size for a sig (images and text combined) is 150x550
The maximum file size for an avatar is 20KB.
The maximum file size for a signature is 50KB.
When you upload your avatar you will be reminded of the 20KB file size limit. It will also remind you that the maximum avatar size is 100 pixels by 100 pixels.
Members who choose to not follow these guidelines may have their signature removed without notice.
Repeat offenders may find themselves locked out of their own control panel.
Help us out too. If you see something inappropriate, let us know as soon as possible (via PM or 'Report to Moderator' feature works) and we will deal with it.
Thanks.
