People's signatures -- my gripe

My pet peeve with signatures and avatars/names

It is odd that a slight troll of something can get you a ban and yet someone with a trolling sig can do so in every thread they ever post with zero issues.

Of my many, many, many issues with signatures I would say this has to be my biggest one. Certain mods will crack down on sigs harder than others (! miss you Twesterm) but trolling in them largely goes un-dealt with. When I first started complaining I was told by a mod that it was a-ok according to the forum rules as well, though that was 2 rule revisions ago. I also dislike the trolling with user names, and avatars, but thats a different thread.

Gifs used to be wildly out of control. I can only imagine the horrors that have been unleashed since my vigilante eye for sig length has gone blind. I am all for a rule limiting how big they can be individually and in aggregate. After a certain point the gif is just going to harm the viewing experience of the majority, and it needs to be stopped. How big is too big should probably be determined by someone who does not hate them all as a rule.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one that saw the blatant trolling in peoples sigs and user names. Its like the mods are blind to it.

This is a separate issue but the absolute worst trolling appears on some peoples profiles and walls. Although I don't know if the mods can do anything about that since it doesn't appear on the forums.
