January 2006 Signatures and Avatars

[pimpshiznid]

Below are the forum guidelines for member signature images. Please note that in a lot of cases these guidelines also apply to text based signatures and avatars.

The maximum overall size for signatures is 170 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 Neowin, or advertise a commercial venture. Neowin has its own advertising, this is the only acceptable (commercial) advertising on Neowin. 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.
  

You are to find means of hosting your signature yourself via your ISP or a signature host, hosting a signature on the Neowin server is not permitted as it is misuse of our server resources.

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.
