There was a recent violation of the following rule:
Do not negatively mention the names of players in Nexon games, this includes the discussion of hackers or other such activity.
However, this statement is followed by:
The official Nexon forums does not seem to have such a rule, so if you feel the need to inform the public about a scammer or hacker, do it there instead, the same goes for guilds.
Which, to my knowledge, is actually not true. So I will be removing that portion of the rules.
The other portion of this thread is dealing with signature size limitations. Because the signature size rule automatically enforces itself with the changes made by Osayidan, we don't really have to worry about infracting people over it anymore (except for the 1.5MB size rule). But this auto regulation only applies at a 300 pixel height limit, and doesn't discern for the 250 pixel image height limit we have.
Some of the staff believe a 300 height limit for images is fine as long as the entire signature itself doesn't exceed this limit. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

My opinion on the size is if it fits in the red box and is under 1.5 MB total then it's fine. Much easier on everyone this way. No need to get out our measuring tools. And same as before anyone who wants to see smaller sigs can choose smaller options, or disable them entirely.
Another issue to bring up is spoiler tags in signatures might get cut off by the red box. I'll leave that up to staff to decidebut if we go with the "if it fits, it sits" stance then chopped-off spoiler tags counts as not fitting. There's 2 things to consider:
1) if it's cut off no one's seeing it anyways so why do you even have it?
2) spoiler tags were never meant to be in sigs but there's no way to disable it without disabling about 90% of all other BB code in sigs.

So here it is.
Discuss, or this becomes the new rule.

I don't even know.
My signature shows up reduced, anyway.

Dont like spoiler tags in sigs, but that's just me

Images in signatures, as well as anywhere posted on this site, get automatically resized to a maximum width of 500 px if their original size exceeds that width.
Sepia's original image is 600 px width, hence the resizing.

Also, I approve, there's pretty much no way to break the signature rules with this new system (except for the 1,5MB size limit) so fill it up!

500px is the max size that can be handled by the site for layout reasons (evil side scrolling/broken things). I can't control it by area so it's set to the lowest necessary size.

But resizing manually is such a pain

We might as well get rid of spoiler tags in sigs if they're automatically cut off.
I like the 300px height limit as long as the rest of the signature doesn't go beyond that...INCLUDING spoiler tags.

Okay.
Anyway, rule change is fine, I guess.

But then...

[I]Other thing to note is the forum's image resizer (that gives you a bar to click on top of the image) will no longer be applied to signatures, since these changes should make it unnecessary.

Yeah and it didn't work :(
sigs still resized after.

Well if people really wanted an image over 500px wide in their signatures, they could just cut it into two pieces.

Doesn't seem that is possible. However the spoiler tags in signatures don't really work. I have no strong opinion on the signatures.
