Title: [IMPORTANT] Update to forum rules!
Post by: Insomnom on February 20, 2011, 04:56:22 AM

There has recently been an update to the forum rules.
Please review the rules here: http://www.worldscapeblitz.com/blitz/smf/index.php/topic,3.0.html

Please note that any rules that were not being upheld before will be upheld from this moment forward, so please familiarize yourself with these rules and make any appropriate changes to your account and posting habits.

Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful community.  ;D

I just wanted to let everyone know that there was a small change in the rules, due to me being extremely tired this morning when I first rewrote them.
I'll just quote them here, for those who have already read through the updated rules before now.

QuoteA maximum of TWO 600x200 signatures is allowed. Any signatures beyond the size will be removed completely. Signatures with animation excessive enough to slow the page will also be removed.
Basically, the size was increased to a reasonable banner-size, instead of an icon size.

QuoteDo not discuss or perform botting on the WS servers.
Now an official rule. =P

And thank you to the people who actually read through everything. ^^

Too late to appeal now... Oh well it's over with anyway no reason to even bring it up I guess. Sorry.

Nah. If you're appealed the mark is "removed" from your account.
'nd you're fine, I understand why you'd be sore.
It just isn't helpful to keep holding on to something like that. s:

Great job! Maybe now we'll get less complaints about not knowing what the rules are. ::)

Well it was 100x100 before.. xD

Ryan pointed out that a screenshot of worldscape is pretty big to be lugging around in a signature. He doesn't want it changed again
Plus, it's not hard to crop the important parts of the image to a decent size (and people can post them in regular posts, anyway, if they wish to show something off). 
And we're not really uptight here, so if something is over the "legal limit" but is reasonable/understandable, I'm sure neither of us will flip out about it.  ^^

It's more set there so people know there is some sort of limit and aren't posting huge pictures in their signatures as quite a few people do now. :c
Of course, feel free to explain to Ryan/Jeremy if you want a change, as I just quoted your words.


Edit: Where'd my other post go? D:
