I could say this to panther or ace via pm but i'd rather be open about it and then people will know where this started and can have their say.
My current signature is a not so subtle way of saying that guidelines need to be set for signatures. I'm not against fun but allowing people to post clips, banners, or other images bigger than smileys as signatures will result in it either becoming spam advertising for schools, political issues, etc, or it will escalate between a few competing individuals. Either way it's getting old very quickly and the longer it goes on the more some people will be upset when it is dealt with.

Either way it's getting old very quickly and the longer it goes on the more some people will be upset when it is dealt with. ok, I understand ur concern but there is no real way to define what is "big". Everybody's definition of "big" or "space consuming" is different. Someone could think "big" is the signature taking up more than 1 line. We can probaly set a limit to how big the signature is (ex. no longer than 7 lines of the default font, or for pics only so and so long) but that would be something I would have to discuss with Panther Again the term "spam advertising" is kinda vague. Since the signature is on every single of your post, technically anything you put there can be considered spam and in the modern world anything can be advertised. Is marchingon advertising Woodson, is jancey advertising the school of Arkansas? admins do have the power to modify profiles so straight out advertising can be cut out of sigs very soon. I understand your concern, we'll discuss it thouroghly but in the meantime, get rid of the huge sig, it was a good 50x longer than your post!

I agree with what LAB said, as well as what Ace said.
However, I will say that with the many users here already having a clip as their SIG, the pages move a lot slower, and it gets pretty boring to look at after an extended period of time.
I would like to think that it would be necessary to find a limit to the SIGs and whether video clips would be good or not.
Maybe just post the link to the clip, so that if someone wants to see it, they can, and the lag from the clips will go away.

And trying to read something that is moving isn't very appealing to me
