Animation Source Forums

I know what you mean,it's like they like to break the rule,and use them anyway.

all the time, yet they dont seem to get in trouble, i not saying any names but i have seen a member with a flying dragon sig and avvie. i make glitter graphix as of very currently , but not for sigs and avvies on this site, nobody has requested one yet.

Hmm...well, yes, it is a no-no if they're using it as an avatar for the forums or shout box. If you see this person again, you can contact a mod via PM with their name, and we'll ask them to take it down...no need to get all worked up. It's not the worst of crimes. ^^

Yeah there's much worse Internet crimes XD Like spamming and flaming =O

What's the big deal? Unless it's a seizure-invoking, strobe-light marquee, I don't see the problem.

It should be allowed, and if someone posts an obnoxious signature, mods can simply remove it.

The only reason it's not allowed is because it slows down the loading process for people who don't have a faster internet connection. It's only fair.

Yes, it is actually against the rules (for both the site and the forums).

So, some people wonder why. I will say what I read Steet *post* many times before. "It takes the attention away from what the person is posting, looks annoying, and is generally distracting." (These are not Steet's words!)

To me it's an obvious rule to have. When someone has an animated something (especially a signature pic), it messes up the page for me. Takes longer to load and the page won't scroll smoothly--it looks all jumpy and not-nice.

There is an option to turn off signatures in everyone's control panel. That and most browsers have the option to filter images.
