The rules are right next to the signature box.

Use this block of text to display your system specs. There is a 512 character limit. Please no images.


I'm at least willing to be lenient about a nice thin strip, especially when it contains mainly text, but anything animated is generally a no-no.

can we get an update to the rules?
It doesn't say what you've quoted. I'm not trying to go against the grain or anything, I'll take it out no problem.
But it says it's encouraged to put your specs there. Not that the signature is supposed to be your specs.

Tis right there.

No it doesn't have to be your specs. It can be whatever you want as long as it isn't spam-like or offensive. But it does state no images. It's to prevent these fook-off massive -[PWN]- LEETZOR flashing 600x200 sigs people have, but as i said, a small strip like you now currently have which mainly contains text within it is fair enough. :onethumb

Yea, i tried it did really well on training said it saved to account, then it made me do it again. I deleted it, never looked back since. I used to play in 2.6 and 2.8 days (skipped 2.7 as it reportedly sucked)

Twig it is sort of an unwritten rule that having text pictures can be ok, people have done xfire, last.fm and others in past with no qualms. Mobster007 (I think that is his username) does his sig as a pic to make formatting easier and I think it allows him to break the character limit as tags to make the formatting nice kill a large amount of chars

my experience has been nothing but trouble so far. I got through the training after being stopped by the Authentication servers multiple times saying i failed when i got expert on everything. Then I completed my training but when i'd try joining a game i still went to the main menu. Then i couldn't log onto my acount for a day or 2. Then i finally joined a game and it stops responding and messes with my wireless internet connection when it crashes. So i just started playing COD4
