You havent broken a rule SL3000gt, because there really wasnt one up until this past month about the sig size..

Also this sig rule isnt one that can really be 'broken' per say as you arent allowed to make a sig that is bigger then 400 pixels wide, but if you dont change your old one that is bigger than the guideline states you still havent really broken it because it doesnt apply to old sigs.

Also he isnt 'ignoring the guidelines' back then it didnt specify what was reasonable size but if it was bigger than a book then you're going overboard.

And this change in the sig size in recent.. as in it was put in June of this year.

Wrong on both counts. Igor specifically set the size for a reason which has been mentioned quite a few times throughout the forums. No one has been grandfathered in, its just the mods haven't gotten around to making sure the members comply with the rules. Yes its true that if you do not change your sig, the rules or shall I say the system will not force you to select a suitable size. But that does not mean if a moderator tells you that your sig image is too large and to resize it, that the member can ignore the moderators request.

Bottom line if a mod or an admin tells you to resize your image, either you do it or we do it for you by removing it. Quite simple really.

So I guess I am left confused on what rules I broke if it was OK'd by a mod and there is a grandfather rule in affect.

You said it yourself, that was agreed upon 6 months ago, the rules have been in effect since June 18th of this year and are different. Plus the excuse that you have a large monitor means nothing for the other user that does not. Plus one of the reasons why the size was implemented was for sizes such as yours. They are way too big. If you posted the image in a post, thats fine cause it only shows up once, but lets say you posted more than 4 times in a thread, your sig would take up way too much reading room. Especially for those without monitors the size of a house.

Oh btw, you need to resize your sig. Please resize it.

And to clarify, the admin and mods decide who is and isn't breaking the rules.

Thanks for stepping in TS.
