New signature policy

[Mikan]

NOTE: This is not a complaint thread.


NGD,

To be blunt, I believe that the new signature policy for these forums is just a little too strict.
EDIT: And by a little, I mean an additional line or two would be nice, not giant, hulking signatures like before.

A large signature (Edge's) was called into question recently and it was determined that the English community had few problems with signatures regardless of their size in most cases. In fact, most peoples' signatures do not even approach the same size margin as his did, and certainly did not cause any readability problems for users.

However, while I understand the need for the forum to be more readable to both the moderators and the developers, it seems quite counter-intuitive to first implement new avatars for us to use, then reduce the freedom that we were allowed for our signatures, since up until now it has been the only way to express ourselves here.

I would like to request that you find some kind of compromise between the moderators and the community, or at least add additional fields to our profiles to list things such as our characters. Currently, having had to delete almost my enitre signature to fit the new rules, it is going to be hard for newcomers to know who I am in-game if they want to contact me.

I am interested in hearing other members' views on this matter.

Regards.


P.S. I am running at 1024x768 myself, with 96dpi fonts.

From what I hear the Spanish community doesn't tend to be as well-behaved as the English community.

I do not know if this is true or not, just rumors that I have heard from those who speak both English and Spanish. I always got the impression that NGD moderators simply had to be more strict there overall.
