Site Rules

If there are some posted i appologize, i had a quick search but didn't really find anything.
Nothing crazy tight arse like "that other site" but just to keep the forums clean.
i was thinking along the lines of...
Signature filesize and dimensions... cause i mean This is kinda over the top.
remember alot of us use the site on mobile devices and it just makes browsing painfull.
Not quoting multiple images in replies - we dont need to see Nik's images posted multiple times over a few pages even if it is pure car Pr0n
Language... keep the swearing to the general thread.
like i said nothing over the top.. and maybe not even enforced rules as such but more so some general forum courtesy.
With more and more mobile devices being used to browse the net we need to keep things accessible, i dont know about others but when i jump on my phone to check a DIY while im working on the car or maybe just to kill some time while waiting somewhere it shits me when i have to scroll all over the place or the pages load like im on 56k cause of multiple images posted over again and things like that.
Thoughts?

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Do we really need site rules if everything is running smoothly? If it ain't broke...
Exactly Shivvy,
If it's gonna be anything like the last thread that tried to change the site (which moved the GT away) it will have a negative effect and make the site have less action.
Don't change it.
Ty, just PM whoever has a massive Sig and tell them to resize it.

I think that's a harsh call Tom. Moving the GT to a section that doesn't show up on the front forum page was a step forward. Every new member here is interested in Subaru's first, and your stalking ability a distant second. Encouraging more discussion about Subaru's themselves seemed to work with that move. We all supported it then, and I support it now.
I have to agree about quoting images, it is a pet hate, I know I go overboard on posting car pictures in each post - maybe I should start limiting the amount of images I show?
Cheers,
Nik

i guess there's an argument saying that maybe you do but on the other hand, as you pointed out earlier, it's a car forum. Although the post are large, they for me are one of the highlights of SC every day, getting to seeing all those exotic beauties posted up. It'd be a shame to get to a point where members are restricted from posting pics of car picks on a car forum.
if this is really an issue for people posting on mobile devices, maybe they should just be mindful not to check out the general thread unless using a computer as i doubt this issue carries onto to any other threads on this site.
As i said earlier, if for example Nik was to have the amount of car pics he posted limited, it would reduce from my SC experience not make it better

I'm much of this opinion too. I agree on the huge signature images - if there are user(s) that you feel have an excessively large image, PM an admin and we will make it fixed.
Nik - don't you dare stop posting those car pictures.
Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

I will have a look in to further restrictions on the size of signatures, however I still believe this is personal preference - if you don't want to see the signatures, simply disable them through your account settings. There are also other settings there that you may discover to be quite useful, so check it out.
There are site rules that have been put in place already, it's good to see everyone has noticed them
