As you can see, I've followed the request.
The rules in this case were written some time ago by Arn and updated by Mudbug (I think) they are clear and consistent and you're not the only member to be asked to shrink a big signature down a little.eleveneastgate said:

Well all of those I would guess have ~300 cars in them (including spaces), just like mine (the Douglas Adams quote alone is more than 250 chars long), but isn't that 150 chars limit more guiding than a set limit? I always understood the sigs rules as a way of controlling those very dominating sigs with endless lists and/or extreme use of size, color and/or bold (pun semi-intended) statements.WinterMute said:

If you find someone whom you believe is not conforming to the rules, simply report them to the Mods and let them deal with it - that's their job. It is completely unnecessary to create a thread like this to publiclly complain about it and engage in finger-pointing - what does that gain anyone? What are you trying to accomplish with your post? Again, if you have issues, take it up with the Mods offline, there is no need to try and make a public spectacle of the thing.eleveneastgate said:
The sig rules are designed to stop excessive listing that would mean one short post could end up taking the same amount of screen space as a much longer post. The character limit in the cases of long single lines isn't so important (I would suggest) but could still be subject to editing if it was felt to be excessive.Mitthrawnuruodo said:Well all of those I would guess have ~300 cars in them (including spaces), just like mine (the Douglas Adams quote alone is more than 250 chars long), but isn't that 150 chars limit more guiding than a set limit?

BTW, if mine is deemed way over the limit just say the word and I will take away either the "banner" or the quote (though I don't know which I would miss the most...)
Thanks for that clarification... it was more or less like I understood it...WinterMute said:

This is why I put it here, not anywhere else...
Your sig was this at the time when I edited it down, and did you the courtesy of a PM to explain why.eleveneastgate said:
Well over the 6 lines permitted. Also this was a few months ago, you've just decided to have a problem with it?
Why put it anywhere in the first place? No one likes a complainer. Again, what purpose does it serve to publicly announce this?eleveneastgate said:
Why finger-point at all?eleveneastgate said:
No it wasn't - please reference edesignuk's post. Many people have received notices, you are the only one to make a big deal out of it.eleveneastgate said:
Again, if you see people who are in violation of the rules, report them to the Mods and let them do their job, just as they have been doing all along.
