Color in sigs

[brizz]

I think we need a restriction on color use and font size in sigs. For example, Quake1028 has one obnoxious friggin signature right now that is polluting the sports forum and giving me a headache. Do we really need 5 colors and giant fonts allowed? It's just so garish and annoying. We have the five line limit, can't we make a 2 color limit and fix the font size of sigs too? (not too mention those godforesaken dancing bananas...why are they allowed if images aren't?)

one of the nicest things about this forum is the lack of clutter and no avatars....lets keep it that way.

I think we need a limitation on excessive punctuation, capitalization, and hyperlinks in signatures.

why should we have to turn off sigs for everyone, because of a few people????


and while we're at it.. how about reminding people that the 5 line limit INCLUDES SPACES!

I go through all the hassle of taking a screen shot, saving it as a jpg, uploading it to ImageShack, and posting it here, and all you can come up with is...


A point I completely agree with. :)


I guess it's possible that what I was trying to say is that I'm as sensitive to sigs in general as some people seem to be about obnoxiously-colored ones. I suppose I could have tried to use actual words to get this point across.

I swear, some of you people will complain about anything!

yours is small and the colors are ok on the eyes.. the blue actually fades into the background a bit when its on the grey.. so it doesnt work as well.. you should switch that to a darker blue..

but there are some color sig that are horrible.. very very horrible
and using oversized bolded font.. and alot of time using spaces to misuse the 5 line rule

That is basically what i'm talking about....the huge fonts coupled with multiple colors is hard to take....i don't mind they are downsized and you use red or something....not that big of a deal....Lateralus's is ok...though i hardly understand it ;)
