Hmmmm...none that has been set, besides the actual word length (100 characters). I think it's usually obvious when a sig is bigger than necessary, we might go on subjective judgement, now wouldn't THAT be a crazy concept :p

yeah, better to lean towards a smaller signature in terms of actual pixel size, and data size if it's an animated gif.
i'm a minimalist, so less is more in my eyes :p

I wouldn't mind if you guys just banned animated gifs in avatars and sigs all together.  It would be nice for any members that access the site via an ole' fashioned dial-up connection.  I still use one from time to time.

As a general rule of thumb, a sig image should be less than 150 high and 500 wide.

Personally, I'd like them kept to about 90X400 at most, I hate big images that take up space and make a conversation take 4 pages to read instead of 1.

For data, please keep anything animated to less than 250K. If this gets out of control, we may have to re-adjust.

As for the content, I will be fairly strict on what images can be in there.
Obviously:
Nothing racist, religious, X rated. Nothing "hateful" especially aimed at another member of the community.
Not as obvious: sexual innuendo, anything for the NY Yankees. Red Sox images welcome Tongue

The same concepts apply to the signature text.

wait, so sexual innuendo is OK as long as it homoerotic and features the White Sox?
