Reminder about signatures

[Roy Hobbs]

The staff wanted to remind everybody about the site rules regarding the dimensions and size of your signatures. 

Signatures can be no more than:

* 500 pixels wide
* 134 pixels tall
* 35 KB in size

Other requirements are listed in our rules.

We suspended enforcement of these requirements during the playoff run.  However, at this point we're asking that people comply with the rules.  The staff will be removing non-conforming signatures starting today. 

Thanks for understanding.

- The Staff

EDIT:  Amended 08-23-09

And Remember Avatars also have their Rules.

Avatars:

The maximum allowed size of an avatar is 80x80 pixels. The maximum file size is 20KB. Anything larger will be removed.
Avatars should not include lewd, sexual, violent, or offensive images.
Any avatar that is offensive or insulting to the Celticsblog staff or members of the blog is prohibited.
We reserve the right to ask you to change and/or remove your avatar at any time, for any reason.

• Any signature that is offensive or insulting to the Celticsblog staff or members of the blog is prohibited.
• We reserve the right to ask you to change and/or remove your signature at any time, for any reason.

As we approach the new season, we're going to start contacting folks about their sigs, and asking them to bring them into conformance with our rules.  If you notice your signature doesn't comply with the rules, please change it.
