Hi Ladies,

I know I've said before that I don't mind members PMing each other with gentle reminders about the siggie rules, but apparently there is a little bit of hostility brewing behind the scenes due to PM's being sent in regards to sigs. No one is at fault, it's a touchy thing for a lot of people and I can see how things could get ugly without that being anyone's intent.

From, this point on, if you have an issue with someone's signature, please hit the "report post" button http://forum.militarysos.com/images_msos/buttons/report.gif of any of their posts, and leave the reason within the description box.

Thank You :)

You can also report a post made by that person, and mention the problem with the siggy and Steph and I can get to it that way too. :tu

I remember a few times, pre-Jewel, where I would try to load some stuff and the system would tell you are OVER THE LIMIT :arg I swear it wasn't humongous.

I was like wth? :lol This was just a few weeks ago and I thought cool there is an internet siggy police. Or maybe my computer is just on crack :dunno

P.S- the "police" part was a joke :lol just in good fun :giggle

Can we get the guidlines, just one more time? :giggle


I've been making siggies for a bunch of people lately, if it happens that one that I have made is too big, please let me know and I would be happy to resize for you!

15 lines of space for non-jewels, 30 lines for jewels I believe Crystal.

No one should ever be "yelled at" and no one has been "yelled at" as far as I know. If someone is yelling at you, please let me know. A member of staff might have respectfully asked you to shorten it some, but I'd personally rather be asked to do it myself than have someone go in and just delete my entire sig with no prior warning.

That is really cute :lmao You should make it say "Siggie Police, Keeping Load Times to a Minimum" :lmao

handy tip non jewels... get a 3x5 index card and that is 15 lines so you can keep your siggy in check. :yes can we also mention it's 15 lines once your images are up too?? since some might think it's 15 lines of code.

I might have kindly asked you to fix the size, but I personally have never yelled at anyone about their signatures.

I did want to tell everyone though... it's not a personal issue when a staff member asks you to fix the size of your signature. In the mornings, I open up a separate browser and while I surf SOS, I add in names of people who's signatures are too long... and I don't bother with people who are a couple of lines over... but if they are creeping 6, 7, 8+ lines over, then expect a PM.

If you need any help, any member of the staff is always happy to assist!

And thanks Stacey, I snagged that siggy police woman! :teehee

Actually, a 3x5 card is about 5 lines over :hehe ... I only mention that because Brandi is not an exact stickler for a few lines, but I don't want people to use that as a guideline and then add a few more lines on top of that too.

But you are right, a lot of people are often confused that it's 15 lines of code text, but it's fifteen lines of images/avatars/words once displayed.

Thanks Trey. How long after a siggy is reported or such is it expected to be fixed? cause I know of a few that I reported that still seem reallllly long.

Isn't there a mod that you can get that automatically resizes siggies and pictures to a certain size? I know another site I go to has that mod, not sure if it's available for you or not though.

There is but it is super server intensive, so it would probably freeze the site up.

I didn't appreciate the Siggy Police until I tried to log onto SOS with this turdy satellite connection and people's sigs got out of control for a couple days. I couldn't believe what a difference turning off sigs made.
