Signature size limit / text only? Please?

I can't be the only person who's getting sick of wading through pages filled with sprawling, obnoxious signatures - actual message content is becoming harder and harder to follow.

Other forums have addressed this by imposing text-only sigs, size limits or one-sig-per-thread rules, and to my mind they're far clearer (and classier) for it.

Any chance of a bit of a crackdown on this practice? Surely there are other, less intrusive ways of expressing 'individuality'...

*Slaps head* Of course. I should have known there was an option. Cheers Anchorhead. Obnoxious sigs begone!

Quoting the forum rules:

- Large images in signatures are also very annoying to most users. Keeping them at or below 600x120 is recommended.

I know this policy hasn't been rigidly enforced, although we do take action when someone is blatently taking the piss (e.g. huge images or 4MB animated GIFs).

Are you willing to name and shame the worst offenders? (PM if you like)
