PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"FAQ: How big can my Sig Pic be?" |
Your entire signature should be limited to a height of 60 pixels... This is so that the threads stay somewhat tidy, and are more filled with content than with sig pics... Frankly, there's nothing worse than a reply consisting of one line of text, followed by 20 lines of signature.Your signature may take one of the following forms: - No more than four lines of regularly sized text
- No more than six lines of text, with font size "1" (Check elsewhere in the Help Forum for an explanation of how to change the font size)
- A graphic not to exceed a height of 60 pixels, followed by an optional single line of text (either regular size, or size "1", but NO LARGER)
Thank you for your help and cooperation in keeping the threads at this site content-rich and readable. By The Way... here's an example of a 60-pixel image followed by a single line of text (maximum height allowed):
You never know what might be up my sleeeve...

Is 2 lines of font size=1 text, acceptable?
It would seem to me if one line of text=regular, should be equivalent to 2 lines of font size=1 text. AyaK already said that more than 1 sigpic is acceptable as long as it is on the same line. For example:    |=Unrepentant Hardcore Smiley ThiefIt is not necessary to acept everyting as true, one must only acept it as necessary. From Kafka's The Trial.

LAST EDITED ON 08-22-02 AT 11:59 PM (EST)>Is 2 lines of font size=1
>text, acceptable? Nope... one line of font size=2 (regular) is 15 pixels in height... two lines of font size=1 is 22 pixels in height... If you choose to have a picture, you need to limit yourself to one line of text below it... Please note: one line of text BELOW a 60-pixel pic is already bending the rules.

LAST EDITED ON 08-23-02 AT 03:47 PM (EST)sleeeve,
I totally agree when you say:
>>Frankly, there's nothing worse than a reply consisting of one
>>line of text, followed by 20 lines of signature. As I take your point and AyaK's point on OT (and what Webby has posted in the past)--the idea is to be able to get the NEW content from a post (and thus a thread) without a ton of scrolling. Another type of post that defeats that purpose is one that consists mostly of copying the previous person's reply and adding a line or a word. Double the problem if one has to struggle to figure out what part is the old post and what is new. Now I would certainly not say there should be RULES about this--it's a style preference--but I want to point it out and ask people to think first before they copy most of a post in their reply only to add a line--what a waste of space that is and how little it adds to the thread. It seems to me that the whole usefulness of quoting back to someone is to single out a PORTION of what they said and reply specifically. Sometimes it's a great way to reply in sections to a whole post and thus create a real dialogue--especially when an argument is being addressed--as in Spoilers. Or use it to show what part of a humorous post you liked the most, as we all do. But if your reply to the post above is fairly general--well, we just finished reading that post, so doubling it up on us is simply redundant and therefore irritating. IMHO. Please, my friends, more NEW content--less repetition. I DO want to read your thoughts, but I need to be able to find them without a sifter. But maybe I'm the only one who feels that way, so let me ask sleeeve: what do you and the Blue Men think about it? Edited to increase redundancy and add more NEW but BORING words  Nobody's perfect.  she's got everything she needs; she's 60 pixels and she don't look back

>do you and the Blue
>Men think about it? Well... I can't speak for the rest of the blue men, because there is no policy on this, we've never discussed it, and I'm not a mind reader, so instead I'll speak for myself. Basically, I agree with everything you say. There are definately times when quoting is much more effective... like when you wanna respond to a very particular part of someone's message, and not the message as a whole... but yes... it does get redundant to have to read the same thing again and again, unless it has a purpose. And I definately agree that things that are quoted (from anywhere, but a previous message is a good example) should be made clear... both so that you don't get accused of plagarism, and to make your arguments/opinions/thoughts easier to follow.
You never know what might be up my sleeeve...

How about an "honor system"? When a thread reaches a certain (undetermined) length, posters with large sigs need to edit/remove sig? Now that's complicated! Brain storm...it'll pass....Creative outlets deserve attention.

24. "Opinions Please" |
People have told me how much they like my quote sig, and I want to keep it going.I need the board's opinion: 1. Should I erase Ep1's quote, and add Ep4's to stay within the boundaries? 2. Or should I just get rid of the two lines of "------" so I can have 6 quotes going at a time? The only reason why I have the ----- are to separate my post from the sig.

Hello, Ice Cat.This is bobstew617. After 269 posts, I figured it might be nice to add a sig pic, but I need some help. I picked out a picture: 
but I know it's too big and I would like my ID after it
(maybe in Brit-type lettering to match the flag) Any help on this would be great. Thanks-bobstew617

Edited because I realize this is too big, but I'm not sure how to make it smaller, and because I really like how WendyP's names disappears and was wondering how to do something similiar to mine?

IceCat made a sig pic for me this afternoon and I love them both. So hard to choose! Maybe I'll alternate. Anyway, THANKS to the ever-lovely GeorgiaBelle and the dashing, debonair IceCat...
