What's The "Normal" Signature Size?

Postby StlnSP » Fri May 28, 2021 7:24 am

It seems that recently, there has been quite a few complaints about people's signatures being "too long". and, just to make a point, i went out of my way to make big signatures and actually got a mod to get mad at me.

This calls for someone to actually limit just how big a signature should be.

The easiest limit to apply would be certain character limits, however, character limits are not foolproof way to stop big signatures from appearing. for example, i could just resize the gif on my signature into 4000x4000px with a simple code that's only going to be 97 characters:

Code: Select all
[simg=4000,4000]https://media.tenor.com/images/2b7add06e561563acc1e9c5e80ca0a59/tenor.gif[/simg]


On the other hand, My actual sig is about 1002 characters long if you're only counting the gradient text [and 1462 if you count all of them]:

Code: Select all
[i][size=169][color=#D40D2E]I[/color][color=#D10D2E]t[/color][color=#CE0D2E]'[/color][color=#CB0D2E]s[/color] [color=#C60D2F]s[/color][color=#C30D2F]h[/color][color=#C00D30]o[/color][color=#BD0D30]r[/color][color=#BB0D30]t[/color] [color=#B50E31]f[/color][color=#B20E31]o[/color][color=#B00E32]r[/color] [color=#AA0E32]S[/color][color=#A70E33]t[/color][color=#A50E33]a[/color][color=#A20E33]l[/color][color=#9F0E33]l[/color][color=#9C0E34]i[/color][color=#990F34]o[/color][color=#970F34]n[/color][color=#940F35],[/color] [color=#8E0F35]b[/color][color=#8C0F36]u[/color][color=#890F36]t[/color] [color=#830F37]y[/color][color=#810F37]o[/color][color=#7E1037]u[/color] [color=#781038]c[/color][color=#761038]a[/color][color=#731038]n[/color] [color=#6D1039]c[/color][color=#6A1039]a[/color][color=#68103A]l[/color][color=#65103A]l[/color] [color=#5F113B]m[/color][color=#5D113B]e[/color] [color=#57113C]S[/color][color=#54113C]t[/color][color=#52113C]i[/color][color=#4F113D]n[/color][color=#4C113D].[/color]


So, rather than limiting characters, i want to propose we limit it based on how many pixels of height can there be on a signature. i think 256 px [just as much as an avatar can be] or lower is a good start.

I know you're gonna say "just disable signatures 5head" but that's not the point. The point is that if a GMod is mad enough to the point that they would warn people about it, then we should make it a concrete rule with actual limits to avoid the whole conversation of how "big" a signature can actually be.

I wasn't "mad" I just told you to resize your signature lmao.

To answer the question, as it has been since before I was even a Mod, is it shouldn't take up the whole screen at one point. You should be able to clearly see another post and yours at the same time as your signature.

i.e: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=116708#p3596793

Viewing Ali's post allows me to see post and signature, and the following post clearly.

In other words, Stiersquid needs to resize their sig, about half that size.

I prefer to keep it relatively short. Signatures shouldn't get in the way of actual posts.
