[quote:1be7f8697b="Maljonic"][b:1be7f8697b]Signatures & Avatars [/b:1be7f8697b]
We do not have any specific set of rules regarding signatures. However, we do ask you that it will not be offensive to others and the length of signatures will not exceed 500x100. If you desire to have a custom avatar, it must be 150x150 pixels or less, NOT animated and NO adult, drug related or racist content please. [/quote:1be7f8697b]

Is it possible to have an image in your sig? If it is, it shouldn't be, there is no point to it, it'll only increase the loading time and length of the page. If it is possible to have one and impossible to disable, we should make a statement that we don't allow them.

Same as everyone else really, I don't mind extreme views as long as the person is prepared to accept that others don't share them

[quote:1be7f8697b="Maljonic"]Don't post your or anyone else's email address in the forums. If you want to share your email address make it available in your profile or ask people to send you a private message. If you DO share it, the dregs of the web will probably arrange for a thousand years of spam to arrive in your inbox for eternity.[/quote:1be7f8697b]

I think people should be free to post their own address if they wish (although not others without permission), bannign them just seems overly-prohibitive, but we could warn that they'll probably be spammed.

[quote:1be7f8697b="Maljonic"]Please no childish or coy flirting with other members in public threads; if you really must declare your feelings for Rincewind, please do it via Private Message (clacks)[/quote:1be7f8697b]

This could be worded better, one isolated flirty comment is OK, persistant flirting isn't.

[quote:1be7f8697b="Maljonic"]Edit: to remove the we will hurt you bit from the posting your email address.[/quote:1be7f8697b]

I think there are a few similar things in here (like being smote) that need to be removed because either
a) People will take it in a jokey manner, and think we aren't taking it seriously.
or
b) People will take it seriously and become too scared to post.

Me: Yes!
