Too large signatures

Do you think signatures should have size restrictions?

  • Yes, It gets pretty annoying when I want to read a thread and it takes up half the page.

I have noticed some people having absolutely HUGE signatures. In my opinion it takes up a lot of space and get quite annoying when reading threads. I understand people like to have a lot in their signature, but things that take up a quarter of the page is quite a lot. Do you think there should be a limit on how big your signature can be? Or an option that detects large signatures and has a button if you want to look at it, kind of like the spoiler button. Granted, I have no idea how hard that would be to make.

There is already a limit on signature size, although I agree that limit could be shortened a little.

I do somewhat agree with this... It does get kind of bothersome when somebody has a page full of stuff that isn't necessarily needed, but to be perfectly honest, most of the large signatures I see are pretty relevant. It's only a problem when there are simply waaaay too many screenshots of things other people may not consider top achievements.

Considering the fact that there is actually a restriction already, then it is really needed to shorten the restriction to an appropriate size. Also, I do tend to see unnecessary signatures around with loads of screenshots, yet again I have an unnecessary signature, but at least people should actually put less to it. Maybe add things that are relevant achievements. C:

Considering I use an IOS device to forum, not my computer, singatures aren't really a problem for me- although I do feel empathy for the other forummers that browse through threads on the computer and have to deal with these apparent long signatures.

So my call is to shorten the limit of signature length, not too much so that people can't exoress their love for whatever is in their signature, but just a bit shorter so that the computer users don't have to scroll through a page to find the next post.

Like Creeper674 said- simply use spoilers in your signature.

Yes! Another phone forumer who can feel my pain of trying to function through all of the hardships ;-;

Well, I mean, I'm not always on my phone but I'll bet a good 60-70% of my posts have come from this trusty steed.

I use an IPAD- so not that similar but I still have to endure the pain of the screen reloading when I am midway through a post. ;-;

Ahh, well still. Somewhat similar. I just use my phone a lot because my family does a lot of driving and... Yeah...

I use my device simply due to the fact everytime I go on my computer to forum, all these adds pop up and they are really annoying. ;-;

I'd say a good 1.4k of my posts have been made on my device. :)

The most extreme part about it though, on school break/holidays I stay up till 4 am in the morning forumming, because it is the only time I get to interact with the other forummers. ;-;
