Default Sig Pic Max Size?

Seriously... 550x175 vs 550x150 is that big of a deal???

and also it would just seem much more friendly if a PM was sent explaining the edit and reason, instead of just a nice surprise.

175 > 150 .. that is the deal.. PM's have been tried, people ignore them and claim "I never saw it." We've heard just about every angle, and it seems the big hammer approach is the only one that garners the proper response.

Seems like our method has been working for quite some time...

way to nurture the growth of your membership....

However the combination of making the change, AND sending a notification might be a better approach.

It would be nice to know how such a small size difference has an impact on the board.

But hey... what would I know about leadership....

We have 75,000 members and only a few mods in comparison.
Every approach imaginable has been tried and nothing has worked so far.
As a result, sigs just get wacked.

Perhaps our members should take a proactive role and read the stickies that
outline this stuff.

How's this for nurturing the userbase:

Stop bitching and follow the ******* rules.

I think I'm going to stay out of the user support section for a while. Too much idiocy in here, I don't want it seeping into me.

I'm also surprised that someone in uniform would question rules and proactive control over things. A limit has to be set somewhere, and our limits are 500 x 150. It is our guideline, and we enforce it. We do not send PM's asking it to be removed, because that would depend on when someone logged back in. They could have some new huge sig pic floating around in 1000 replies past and present, and not log back in for a week.

As for membership, we don't have a problem there.

I did not bitch about the rule. I questioned the way in which the situation was handled. I am pretty sure that I did this in a rather straightforward and professional way.

This is where I understand the maturity level I am dealing with. Kinda reminds me of the original LS1.com.



My apologies for creating so much grief.... I will try to keep my post to a minimum, and never step beyond my role of 'one of the many thousand douche bag members the mods have to put up with' again.

Exevious, if you haven't looked around this US&R forum you should. You'd see why its annoying to have highlighted threads that are stickied right at the top of the forum, reposted many times over.

As for comparing this site and moderators to ls1.com, you have that all wrong. We do out best to help people with issues with the site, (in this section) aswell as elsewhere on the board. You won't find the rediculous AAG style of crap here either.

I appreciate your help. I will look at the forum.
I simply just posted a sig I already had, which appeared to be very similar to the others. But in fact it was slightly larger by 15 pixels one direction.

Im surprised it was noticed, unless one was actively on a seek and destroy mission.
