Excessive Signatures

Sorry to be a fun sucker, but the signatures that are being used currently are getting a bit lengthy and becoming an eyesore, especially when listing of the many various clubs that a user is in. Let's try to cut these back to 2 lines max. If you still want to have all the clubs you're in on your signature, please put them in a spoiler. Thanks!

(Starting next Sunday, this will become an actual rule and longer statuses will be considered "spam". So please take advantage of this time before it becomes an active rule to edit down your signatures to 2 lines or less, so you aren't penalized when the rule does come into effect)

Ah Ha! I've been noticing this and thinking about it for a while. Thank you for addressing this! Can we have spaces in our signature, or do these count as lines?

Is mine alright? Do I need to delete something?

I think it's fine. even counting Tiger, it's only two lines.

But, do pictures count as a line?

I'm not entirely sure if mine is alright or not... If it's not, I'll change it. But you have to admit, the poem at the beginning is pretty awesome!

All of you guys that asked are ok. CT101, you might as well get rid of your spoiler though, since your sig works just as well finishing it on the second line. I like the poem though, haha.

There is no need to diddle about what exactly two lines is. A little leeway will keep this from being a fun-sucking rule, and a stiff board with cruel rules. One of the best things about this spot is that it doesn't have a ton of strict rules and moderators breathing down your neck. People have been very good and not boundary pushing and I think a simple "Could you reduce the length of your signatures" would do the function just fine. Very good people here.

Alright, Aaron, I'll change the spoiler! And yes, I slaved away on that poem for hours!

Arkán, (I put an accent finally! Aren't you proud of me?) you are quite correct. A simple, 'your signature is too long' would work just fine, but I think, in order to keep any confusion from resulting over this sig rule, the admins will just keep it to a two line minimum.

@Arkán Dreamwalker: I feel like that's what it'll become, but for now let's try to get them all edited down to 2 lines, and if it becomes a problem in the future, we'll deal with it as it comes up.

Alright kiddies, as of now, this is an official rule, so keep the signatures concise and to the point!

I don't believe these these were ever addressed.

1 or 2 spaces... OR an image.

Text size must be Large or under.

So, to clarify, if you have an image, you may also have 2 lines of text, no spaces.

If you don't have an image, you may have 1 or 2 spaces, and 3 lines of text.

Hopefully that makes sense. :)

They were my questions in the first place. I don't still count, do I? :?

You will have to say that clearer. Where you talking to me?

Sorry. Do you have aggressive feelings toward me as a mod, even though the questions you were quoting were mine to begin with?

No.
On second thought, I won't if you nominate me for the SS Board of Security and Defense. I certainly deserve it.
