Maximum signature dimensions

I don't see why we really give a fuck what people put in there, as long as it's work safe and doesn't distract from having the ability to browse GFF in a timely manner, which is why the sig limit is set low. A signature is a personal expression, so as long as it doesn't ruin someone else's experience (like huge sigs or nudity would), it's fine.

200kb is unnecessary and it has the potential to make 5 MB page downloads based off sigs alone. No, no, no.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"But, see, I made this car. With my own hands. The only problem is that it doesn't go below 50 miles per hour. I hope that's okay, officer. See, you shouldn't get mad at me. Put that ticket book away, I did make the car after all, it was hard! It's not my fault that the car doesn't fit within your laws."

I said something, then deleted it, then typed something completely different, and deleted it again. Too easy, sir.

I will reiterate that I don't really give a shit as long as it doesn't make the download too huge and is something we can all safely view at work. Your plan fails these parameters.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Part of the problem is that there is at least one easy way to circumvent the checker (by the way that Miles explained to me that it worked) that anyone wanting to use a larger signature could do. This checker, assuming it didn't throw out false negatives, would only keep people who don't want to break the rules from breaking them. People who want to break them still can.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
