Hello The Wizard,

Good and a fair question. The signature picture rule is made in fall 2002 and there have been various discussions about it since, not only in the Watchtower.

There are no tools available on this server to list users who exceed the signature limitations. Staff has to do it by hand, which is time consuming.

Accounts with an oversized signature, have the picture removed and get moved to the minimal options group (that account allows viewing and posting in all forums except the backroom and removes about any other candy). There's no public blacklist, only a grouping in the ACP that can be sent an e-mail using a tool that doesn't require another huge time investment. I've also posted the content of that mail here, because:

a. users may not have their e-mail updated.
b. users may not check that e-mail.
c. the server may fail to send the e-mail.

We all like to return to normal and enjoy the forums, don't we?

Sending each user a detailed mail/PM is too much work considering the amount of accounts not complying and the amount of other things I (yes, me) have to do.

Sending me an e-mail containing a copy of the sig pic rules from the FAQ and your forumnick is enough to get your account restored to normal.
