Rules for User Signatures updated - June 17, 2010

[Chimpie]

The rules for user signatures have been updated. The list is as follows:

User Signatures
EMTLife.com allows members who have met certain criteria to post signatures in their profiles. These signatures are then shown on every post a member makes, throughout the forum. As such, the following are the criteria for members wishing to use signatures in their profile:

• A member must have over 10 posts to be allowed to use the signature feature.
• Signatures are limited to four lines (when viewed at 1024x768 resolution)
• Signatures may not contain any links to other websites. The EMTLife Team may allow links in signatures on a case by case basis. Our decision in these matters is final, and not subject to debate or appeal.
• Colored font is allowed as long as it's not disruptive.
• Images including smilies are not allowed.
• ALL CAPS or AlTeRnAtInG CaPs are not allowed.
• Signatures may not contain wording that violates any of our forum rules or be political in nature. This includes both real-world politics and the politics within the EMTLife community.
• We reserve the right to modify and amend these terms at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to remain informed of current EMTLife.com Community Forum policies.

Please review your signature to ensure that it follows our new rules.

The Community Leaders (CL) Team will be editing signatures that do not meet our expectations.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact any member of the CL team.

Just curious, what was the change and the reasoning behind it?

We had a member that had a really long signature that took up nearly the entire screen.
