Well, I was just trying to edit my signature a wee while ago and it never really struck me just how little space we have for signatures. 10 lines isn't really an awful lot. I'm exactly on the limit and my signature is hardly huge, is it?

I'm not actually desperate for some more room, I'm just using this to introduce my suggestion. Why don't we give more privileges to members in the upper-classes, say, Veterans and Seniors, to keep numbers down? For example ... 15 lines for signatures, maybe a bigger avatar, 125x125 perhaps? I know I'd like some more room in the About Me section in my profile, as well as some more typing space for my favourite bands and whatnot.

So aye, some of us have been here for absolutely ages (ahem xD) and this could be a little ... thank you xD
 
I'd still like it if Senior / veteran members had the same priveledges before, where they can see why posts / treads have been deleted. Mainly because then they know if the staff members are doing their jobs or not - and if they're being too harsh a senior or Veteran member is more likely to complain about them. And a senior/veteran member are more likely to be staff candidates, so it would be helpful for them to know how a staffer does the job.

I like your ideas though Riku, but i fear that some people may spam to senior member - like FFGuy (no offense dude) - just to get larger sig spaces.
 
Then, in special cases like him, you could revoke some of his privileges xD

I'm with the motion to allow us to view moderators actions, actually. I hadn't realised until recently that I couldn't see them. It stops some of the "what happened to my post?" and "where did my thread go?"
 
How much do you need to say in your signature that could actually be worth saying? Honestly I think there's enough as there is. Now I'm alright with larger pictures and larger avatars... but not for more signature space in general. There's just no reason. There are enough signatures out there that are big enough already, there's no reason to have any bigger than that.

As long as your sig isn't as big as SorceressEdea7's. :P

:P I'll have you know that i shortened it. lol that does sound like a good idea. of course I'm not a senior or verteran member, but i think they do deserve it.

thats going in the sig BTW ;)
 
Ten lines does seem a bit stingy, but consider that most people have images in their signatures. SE7 is a valid point in case. Having numerous images along with that ten lines becomes a bit much, and isn't exactly... nice to look at.

I'd like the ten line minimum to be lifted, but only so I can have more lulzy quotes in my sig. Really though, I think adding more lines is impractical.

Oh, how convenient for you.

I think that larger avatars would be very nice. Mebbe something like 120x120 or possibly 140x140.

SE7's sig.... It's just... Way too big. Maybe we should decrease the number of images allowed to be in a signature? I'm really not used to having to scroll down an entire page between posts.

I don't really think we need more lines, but just a few more would be nice.
 
I'd support the more lines thing, but only because lately I've been making mine a bit larger than usual. It would be nice, but something I could live without.
I'm all for a larger avatar. I think that right now, they're too small, but again; it's something that I could live without.
And as for seeing moderator actions, I'm not fussed at all. As long as I can see that posts and threads have been deleted, I don't care for knowing why.
 
I can understand why most people would want more sig space but it's not really needed, a thing that I think would benefit senior/veteran members is larger avatar sizes, say 130x130?
 
I actually think there should be a limit for sig length, instead of extra privileges. Not all of the members have high speed internet and it's highly likely that some of our members have already suffered from seizures while waiting for sig-overdosed pages to load.
SE and AG'g sigs are causing me to have head trauma as it is. Allowing everyone to have even MORE sig space? It's a bad idea.

Dark Remnant actually has a legitimate idea with bigger avy sizes for seniors.
 
but i shortened my Sig Rhea!!! how come no one has noticed this?!?!? i still think it is a good idea for veteran members... not normal members though.
 
Because it's still horrendously long. XD
I honestly think that too many people are abusing the sig privilege. Maybe we should make a limit of like 2-3 images, and 2-3 lines of text; and put size limitations on sigs.
 
I think 1 image is enough for regular members, and perhaps 2 for Veterans? Having more than one banner is a bit much, and like Rhea said, does affect those without broadband/a decent connection.

Extending the lines won't do as much damage as what most signature images already do.
 
I think we should only allow one image per member with a max size of 500x200. People read sigs once every time they've been updated, and I'm sure a good amount of you completely disregard sigs as you are reading posts. Having more room to put shit will just increase load times and page size for stuff that everyone is going to pass over 97/100 times they read a post by said member. A larger avatar isn't a bad idea, though every other idea of veteran perks is retarded. People don't deserve a reward for discovering a site and having more free time than other members on this board. They gain popularity and respect from the other members, which should be enough.

Then how about something like ... a maximum of two images in your signature. If you only have one image, then it can be up to 500x300 pixels, and you can have an extra 15 lines of text. With two images, they can be a maximum of 500x150 pixels, and only 7 lines of text.

I only have two images, both very small, and I'm at the exact limit. I hardly have a ridiculously-sized signature, so it's definitely possible to cope with more lines and decently-sized pictures.

EDIT:
Fields, you and I have been over this. Go'n either actually get to know me before you try to make some kind of judgement on me, or just completely disappear altogether. It's not like you contribute anything to the site other than unwanted tension.
 
I think two images are neccesary, y'know a banner to represent yourself and a small graphic to advertise as long as you don't have to scroll down an entire page to get to the next post.

I hardly see three images being wanted, as most people only use one or two images.

Edit: Bastard ninja posters. xD
 
Or how about this...if anyone has a problem with someone's over the edge signature...one of the mods can send them a message asking them to resize or reduce their sig content. The End.
