Official Signature Image Sizes
But only admin can delete signature images.
Seriously, this is a problem.
But yeah, screw your wallpaper sized signature images. Jerks. Do discuss.
Well, it would appear there is no official rule regarding signature images. I believe there are guidelines, but it takes so long for something to be done it's really quite incredible. So I highly recommend we add a rule to the Global Rules about signature images and their size. It would also be advisable to add this information above the edit signature box on the edit signature page, in red colored text too. Possibly bold.
Why even have this rule?Signature images should not exceed a maximum width of 800 pixels or maximum height of 400 pixels. Image size should not exceed 1000KB. Only three standard image types may be used, jpeg, png, and gif. Absolutely no bitmaps or tiffs under any circumstance. (Though I don't think NB even supports tiffs). Signatures containing pictures of Itachi must be at least 5000x5000 pixels.
As it stands, we have kids with wallpapers for signature images. Seriously, 1280x1024? That's a wee bit on the outrageous side, don't you think? Nobody wants to wait for your signature image to load on every single thread on every single page (which is especially bad for people with slower internet connections). Also, if your image isn't automatically resized it will force the page to scroll on the X axis.
Apparently expecting people to be considerate of others is too much to ask for.

It's probably not the best idea to give out more power, but in this case I think it's worth it. Insanely huge signature images are popping up every day, and the admin don't really have to the time to remove said images from people's signatures. I do my part in sending people requests to change their signatures. Unfortunately, most of the time the kids just rage at me, crying incessantly like toddlers who were told they couldn't have candy at the grocers.
Seriously, this is a problem.
