DMD Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 As was shown in the recent poll, the length of sig lines in some cases is considered excessive by most people and to improve the message board experience for all, there is a new limitation on them. Starting as of February 7th, Sig lines are not to be longer than five lines and cannot contain large font. This gives everyone time to adjust their sig lines if they are the product of a bet. If they are not the product of a bet, they should be immediately trimmed. If the sig lines are not trimmed, we will be manually going in and just deleting them from the posters profile. In the case of an obvious bet that was lost, we will trim all but the first five lines. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Great call, but will this restriction carry over into next football season? Because for those of us that post in the Fantasy Football Forum, it is frowned upon to NOT have your team & league scoring in your signature. Will we be forced to cut & paste this info into the body of the post now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Gotta say five is too little. 10 lines and a restriction on font size would have been better.
