Oversized Signatures

[Mooclan]

Hello.

I'll get straight to the point - Signatures. Most of us know what they are, and even have one.
However, back before I was a really active forumer, if someone's signature was too long (longer than one page) then it was deleted or edited to be shorter.
Why? For the same reason that multi-posts are not allowed - they are annoying to scroll past, and are generally unnecessary.

But nowadays, I haven't been seeing that happen any more. Was there a change in rules? Is this now allowed? I recently found a signature that was, I think, 3 pages long. I reported it, but I don't want to be reporting things like this if they're no longer... report-able, because I don't want to accidentally get someone in trouble when they haven't done anything wrong.

• Are signatures that are too long still against the rules?
• If yes to the above, what happens? (Are they edited, deleted, or is the person simply warned?)
• If they are NOT against the rules, then what will be done if signatures get absurdly long? Because I've seen plenty of 2-3 page signatures in the past before they were edited, and it's only recently that I've been seeing them start up again.

Gosh I type so much that I forget what I was typing about in the first place .-. kthnxbye.

The best thing to do is just go on to the user's wall and say something such as "Hey, your signature is really long and takes a really long time to scroll by: could you shorten it up a bit?". I've done this several time and it has a high success rate. I think people generally prefer it too as they're the ones doing the shortening as opposed to a mod who will basically "butcher their signature" if they edit it. (At least, in their eyes they butcher it)

The point is put across in that way, though.

I'm on my iphone so I can put my finger down and move down and there are no signatures!
