Signature files and Animated Gifs

Good Morning,

I am afraid to say that we have arrived at a post I had hoped I would not have to make 😞 I will be posting this message across most of the main boards throughout the day.

The size of Signature Files in posts is starting to get a little too out of hand. Lately the size has been creeping up and in some cases there are two or three different things in sig files pushing out the size of posts. In addition the use of animated gifs has been creeping back in along with ad's for sales and attempts to hide links in text.

For the most part I've tried to be as flexible as possible, overlooking the ones that are a little bigger than the recommendations. When they have been too large I've contacted members directly to ask them to resize them, and members have been happy to comply. This is no longer an option as it is taking up too much time due to the number of people needing to be contacted.

Were these reported Liveworld will act on them, and I don't want to see anyone getting a warning over something easily avoided.

At this point I would like to remind everyone about the signature guidelines, which you can find here: http://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?threadID=400055459&tstart=0

I hope we can work within these guidelines and bring the threads back to a point where posts are easy to read without too much scrolling.

I appreciate your help on this.

James

Merly, the reason is that the photos are in the main body of the post which is allowed even
if you post it on every post you make.

It is when you store your sig in the settings for repeated use that it's against the rules.

So you can post your sig, any type of sig if you c&p it every time into the post.

Which most people would forget to do lol

:-x Good evening you gorgeous
big bunch of lovely smelling people.

Dear gawd, I go out to get my hair
done and anally retentiveness reigns.

Ok, now get yourself comfy, and open
your loon3y bibles at page 69,
verses 45 -87..

Alas, Loon3y looketh out into ebay
and behold, seen the start of another
of the greatest fetes' known to ebay,
HOW TO BE ANALLY RETENTIVE in 56
steps. God bless the lil arshbiscuit,
who finds fault, with a little picture
or alas an animation, for they know
not how much I laugh, titter, nigh mock the
error of their ways. I thank the good
heavens above for allowing me, to live in
a society where death and destruction is
abound, but weep myself, knowing a sig
can do so much damage to the eye seemingly.

I would like to take a minute now to
mourn for the sig, my lil pal, my lil
chink of light in a world so full of
arshbiscuits and opinionated fartbags.

*passes collection dish about for jaffacakes*

here endeth this sermon.
Amen.

Evening,

Sorry I've not been here but it's a bit hectic today.

I've already reached out to Liveworld to discuss moderation on posts and signatures made before today. Please rest assured that I don't want to give anyone free hand to report posts that were made before I reminded everyone about the sig guidelines. I'll update more when I've spoken with them further.

And to the poster who asked where I was when the trouble went down on FHG.. ask around.. I was here and worked to get the issue resolved.

Have a nice evening.

James

*gets spoogles on straighter*

No no, elliebabez, yours should be
nearing the LEGAL sizing, as its
as small as a gnat's marble
pouch.

You let them kill roundtable by taking
our sig/tag threads, YOU HAVE NO SHAME,
you'll have one of those faces, the doctor
smacked your mummy's face, instead of
your bum when you where born :|
