Banner Warning!

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

Banners are starting to get excessive again. It would be a very good idea for everyone to trim their banner sizes and how many are in your siggy's, before we have to set stricter limits on them or remove the ability entirely. Keep it reasonable yourselves, or those in charge will be forced to set limits you may not like.

Buffy's=Excessive :?:

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

A bit yes. Any 2 of those would be fine, but 3 is getting a bit much.

Berton · February 2008

wheaty? i may have only one banner once crazy gets to the free ones <.<

BuffyBoarding · February 2008

buffy=fixed the problem

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

Wheaty is fine, and much better Buffy.

siebs2010 · February 2008

how about hobbles?

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

Hobbs is just fine.

Muddy Paws · February 2008

I have to do this to see how many banners I've got... Too lazy to go edit my profile and count. I might just have one... Not sure. *edit* Yep, there's just one

Noviceplayerwithmult · February 2008

Is this one ok? It is kinda long?

WeisseEdelweiss · February 2008

So could we get a pixel idea of how big? This isn't very specific.

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

Is it okay to have two banners, plus a dragon in your siggy?

GAK04 · February 2008

i probably have to much don't i??

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

So far everyone down to AnimalLover had reasonable siggys. The last 3 are rather much. I am not giving size limits yet. I am simply giving everyone a heads up that if you don't tone it down yourselves, it will be done for you. And it may be done in a way you won't like, such as loss of siggy's entirely. So this is your chance to fix it yourselves, before those in charge step in to control it however they decide, and whether you want it that way or not. I and not going to sit here and tell everyone individually if their banners are reasonable or not. Use your best judgement. And remember, you may love your banners, but everyone loves theirs too, and the graphics are creating an overload with each persons combined with everyone else's. Keep them reasonable, use good judgment, or face the consequences.

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

I thought there was already a size limit on banners...? Isn't it 500x200?

WeisseEdelweiss · February 2008

I'll just remove mine completely. I don't quite understand the standard for best judgement. That doesn't help me.

What does that mean? I need specifics so that I don't lose the ability. Then when I end up losing it I'll ask: "Well I thought this was best judgement." No, it wasn't. Well crap...

kimyo · February 2008

What I go by is the banner you see when you first log into VP. The one with the Blue Dog pointing to "Virtual Pups" Use that section to see if it's too big. That's my judgment of my own siggy.

WeisseEdelweiss · February 2008

Well, you can't say that because we were not given a guideline.

I said it was my judgment, not what everyone should do. Just a suggestion, not a guideline.

WeisseEdelweiss · February 2008

No no no..I was implying that we were not given one from the get go. You wouldn't be the one giving us that guidline and I already knew that. I'm pretty much done with this post anyway. A small piece inside of me died.

Hmm...yes I agree. I though forum banners were 400x150? I see nothing wrong with my siggy...we need a set size, because people have different judgements and opinions you know...

Doggirl1995 · February 2008

Hm.. anyone thing mine's a bit too big?

Jazz · February 2008

Mine ok?

Leonalewis · February 2008

Is mine ok?

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

I don't know, she said a max of 2 banners I think, but then said mine isn't okay. I don't know what's going on...I don't see anything wrong with mine, especially since we have a character limit on siggies anyway.

That's what I always based my usage off of was the character limit... I've had 3 banners in mine for over a year, never knew a thing about this o.o Aside from if you had like 10 banners in there somehow or something, yeah...you're getting carried away XD I never thought 4 of them looked right anyway. Seemed like too much at that point. Not only a max of two banners, but I believe the size of the banners is also an issue.

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

Mine are both under 500x200 (which, I've been told ever since I joined here, is the size limit) and my best judgement says they're okay *proud* lmao I have seen some people with HUGE banners though 0o;; they stretch the page by like..a mile 0o;

LadyRuatha3 · February 2008

Ok, I was trying to just give you all a chance to know that banners and siggy's were getting out of hand. I figured I would let you know it was getting to be a problem BEFORE the Ops got together and set limits. Once rules are set, there will be punishment for violations. I thought you all would rather have the chance to get things under control yourselves, rather than to be treated as children with Ops having to come in and start punishing. For some strange reason, I thought you all would prefer a voluntary cooperation rather than having Ops swoop down in forums erasing sigs, deleting posts, and forum bans for rule breakers or what ever other punishments may be decided on. But you all seem to prefer the latter. So that is your choice. The Ops will get together. We will set limits for you, since you don't wish to limit yourselves. Then we will just TELL you what to do, and you will obey or be punished. And next time there is a concern, I will remember, you wish to be TOLD, not asked on how to fix it.

Howdy, Stranger!
