Not really; I expect that under 2.0 that sig. would be within the old rule.

There isn't one. Like you say, the old rule doesn't work because it makes the area so small, and there are no other good measurements we can use. People will just have to use common sense and the Mods their discretion to make sure there are no stupidly long sigs.

@Seece - yeah, feel free to report them.

I'd say make it so many lines of text. Adjusting the length as you feel needed. Leaving it solely up to the mods discretion is going to get confusing as one mod could pass on a long sig, and another could act on a slightly shorter, but still long one. It can also lead to sig lengths slowly creeping out of control as they did leading up to the rule being put in more defined terms. I'd say reasonable would be between 10-15 lines at the up limit, but I am really just ball parking based on the old rules.
