Size limits apply!!!

Unfortunately signature sizes have got out of hand for some users.

Therefore the following rules will apply for signatures. Could everyone please check their signatures and ensure they meet these guidelines.

- Limited to one image per signature or a short text.
- 500 wide x 200 high maximum dimensions
- 40KB file size maximum
- 3 lines of additional text

These forums are visited by users with all types of connections and the current situation means that users on dial-up are waiting too long for signatures to download.

In addition to size limits, no Swastikas in sig images please.

The moderators will ensure that these new guidelines are enforced.


NOTE: The file size limit applies to avatars too. Be wary of using animated .gif's in particular. Good animations are very big, even with quite small image dimensions

And you obliviously haven't check this sig:

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/26310365/m...701032213#3701032213

EDIT - This is to air some views, you have different rules to our forums, so there is no point blocking ours.

P.S This isn't having ago at the mods.

Know what else isn't acceptable, Doc?

Your Sig and Avatar

Based on an average of all forums here with the official sizes, your avatar exceeds the limit of 15KB by 9KB

As well, your sig (Depicted below), ALSO exceeds the the limit of 60KB



Yours is 99KB

Obviously you didn't read the Far Cry Sig/Avatar guidelines. It says reasonable file size. Noone has complained about my sig size because out of the nearly 2400 posts I have, I would venture to say I've used it less than 200 times. It's unchecked by default in my preferences.

Alright, but still, it's oversized: Good for you if you don't use it - Makes pages load easier

But one thing that still slows pages down is your avatar, which is oversized.

Now the Far Cry forums has no regulation size, but it's to be estimated that 15KB should be the max

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/393107431/m/8641008892

Splinter Cell Avatar Size Regulations: 15KB

Now, where would they get this limit from? Most likely the official rules of Ubisoft Forums.

Doesn't quite seem all that fitting if a Moderator of the forums breaks one of the forum rules, now does it?

When you find me the link to the Official Ubisoft forum rules u lemme know...until then...I'll follow the Far Cry forum rules which I'm obviously not breaking.

BTW, should we start discussing your previous permanent ban from these forums now or later?

Or maybe these discussions with particular moderators should be taken to PM.

Hey, at least the rules here aren't as strict as the SC forum rules

I always thought SC's size was more lenient than GR or Rainbow. I always remember people coming over from SC and getting warned.

Well, lately the mods over at SC have been cracking down on sigs.
People were trying to get away with the old PT rules in the CT and GD forums.

Mod

Seems like it's only Angel Fire who's the sig Nazi

Obviously I didn't destroy anything; just moved it. You got some other mod to unban your IP and now you and Cats post under different nicks. Maybe other forum mods like/put up with all the spam, but the FC mods weren't going to. All members involved were adequately warned. They just chose to ignore the warnings; including yourself.

BTW, calling a mod a Nazi is also against forum rules. Seems you don't care about them, though.

I didn't get any mod to unban my IP. To the extent of my knowledge, only CMs have that option. Sorry, but you're mistaken. Either a CM unbanned my IP, or it's a forum error.

As well, we were warned, and we cut down - A LOT.

Well, most of us did

Napalm didn't however, with proof of his name filling the collumns in these pages

Oh wait Doc! You're guilty of that too!

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/170106891/p/21

But no harm: You were helping

Back to the warnings though: You kinda skipped a step. You gave us all permabans before the monthly bans. You even promised this yourself

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/836109392/m/8071043052

Plus banning 9+ devoted members in less than 3 weeks is a bit severe, eh?

Remember your dealings with two long standing members?
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/836109392/m/8071043052

Little do you know, that even the mods argue like that with them. That's been going on for years: So why'd you break up the traditional feud?

Our bans, I blame on undermoderation of the forums. Even Jet admits this:

As well, I'm not the originator of the "Sig Nazi" nick name, but if it's against the rules, I'll stop, because I actually DO care about them.

Man, get on with life...there is more out there than these forums or your participation in them.

As far as skipping as step...read the terms of use again:

You have a problem or what??????????

Uber_Panda was previously permanently banned from the Ubi forums along with others for spamming the FC Off topic forum. I would imagine he (and at least one other in this thread) post in the SC forums under another nick.

If I remember correctly, the ban for you was skipped from month and automatically went to perma ban because you had been temp banned twice before for the same reason, yet you continued on in your ways.

Uber_Panda is one of the people who was banned along with FuriousGopher. They now hang out at The Six Pack. They all talk over there about how they are so much better than the Ubi forums and such. The funny thing is that NSAagent and Sangsta(both SC mods) are leading the forums.

Aj I implore you to just worry about yourself. You have enough targets on you as it is. Every time there is an arguement someone always tries to drag you into it. Just stay out of it. As for you Uber Panda. Calling a person in any context a Nazi is the same language as usin racism. It is all how you use it in context. I imagine Rhoulette and a couple of the other community managers will be getting a link to this thread which needs to be locked and if you can't control your arguments which need to be in a PT then maybe this is not the place for you.

Get a life, Doc?

Nice, mature even

Heck, I've had quite the life even before these forums. I am a semi-proffesional musician, with the knowledge of preforming with 5 different instruments. Violin, Viola, Trombone, Baritone/Euphonium and Tuba.

I've spent far more times polishing my musical skills in comparision with my time spent on the forums. Heck, the forum was just a leisure time away from music now and then.

Of course, if I knew that you would've been such a robotic mod, then I wouldn't have joined the Far Cry section. I don't really blame you, you're doing the right thing according to the rules, but you're too strict. You don't lay back. You've turned this place into a prison

Goodness knows what would happen if you were a mod over at the Frag Doll forums.

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/4091020922

When it first started up, there were hijacks in every thread. It was worse than the former here. Spamming was also a common thing among ever member there.

But did anyone care?


No


Why?

Because the mods weren't/aren't uptight about it. Mods should just be normal members with higher authority. You, however, took it far too seriously. You changed completely when you became a mod. You became "ban 'trigger happy'". Here's most proof of abuse of power

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/836109392/...911088382#3911088382

The poor member only created one other music topic, and it was actually a hit. And if were not talking about music, and just the similar topic he made, with all of them mainly asking questions, what's wrong with that? Can't a member get some freedom for making posts? I can tell you that over the years, there have been a hellofa lot WORSE members. If you found the above member's post annoying, you'd go savage over the real annoying members.



And no, Kimi, I did NOT change my IP. I've been given advice by some that I should, but I refused. My IP remained the same. My ban is only a username ban. I speak the truth. I'm repeat, I did not change my IP. I'm not like Napalm_Frog, who I have no repect for after this

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/393107431/...881052613#7881052613

In that thread, you'll notice that some also found the justice of the FC OT quite unfair, and even RoaringMad Mac, a moderator, actually let him stay. Mac, as you just saw, represents great moderators. Laid back, but still aware of the rules. He saw no harm at present, thus let him stay. You, Doc however, jumped on the situation of the FC OT, and permabanned 7 regulars. Would have been 8, but one of them was a mod.



As well, AJ, I'd stay out of this. Don't bring other conflicts into this, especially since it's strongly not advised to. If you're looking for a ban, continuing your protest against that forum is your key.

PS: I am Furious_Gopher.

Have a nice day



EDIT: Just read Mac's post. I understand about the Nazi insult. I apologize for it, spoke without thought.

Am I supposed to be scared of you FG? Or are your buddies gonna ban me because of their private hangout?
