As part of the 10th birthday celebrations, a few more rules updates.
First, the allowed size of images in signatures has been raised to 150kb. We'll see what effect it has on loading times, but we'll try.
We've also re-enabled everyone's signatures.
Second, following member council debate, the rule formerly known as the three word rule has been changed to require your post to have at least three words, or more than two. You can thank the member council's persuasiveness for this change.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Pkmn.net, happy birthday to you!
Hooray for changes, hopefully the sig limit change won't slow things down. Still won't stop me reporting the bigger ones. :tongue2:
Happy Birthday everyone ^^
EDIT: Has the new writing on the banner been added to go with it all? I know it isn't exactly relevant to the birthday, but it's still a change.
:D Yay! *hugs council*
Yeay, new rules! :B
i thank the members themselves for supporting the three word rule so feverishly for the reduction of the word limit lol
Sweet! Its only been a couple of days. Patience really does pay off =D
Happy Birthday! =DDD
Three words are allowed now? Oh dear, seems like there's a reducement in need for mod skillz!
If anyone wants me I'll be done at the pub.
The sig limit was something that I was complaining to myself about quite recently, so that's awesome. *ponts at his sig*
I'm not really a fan of the 3 word rule change, though. Bleh. Guess its's good that it wasn't just abolished, mind.
Thanks for the rule change! We'll see what benefits it'll bring to the site.
Additionally, I am LOVING the new banner xD
=) Not getting rid of it, just changing it so the "Three Word Rule" as it's normally called to /make sense/.... great job guys. I like it. =) Three/four isn't really all that much- and it still stops the "No" and "yes" and whatever that're one work or two word answers. -mini-ramble-
Sooo yes. Hehe.
Also, yay for the signature size ^^ I'm sure lots of people will love that.
Happy Birthday to all =D
ummmm..... Was I the one that started this huge debate-about the three world rule? Also, I like the new banners (didn't notice it until now. :P) and the new signature size rules.
Okay, signatures bigger and less words...
What do you want from us?
¬¬
Seriously though, thanks to the Member Council for this, it just shows that they are all doing a great job and I applaud every single one of them. I look forward to seeing some awesome Signatures in the future!
oooh. all the sigs were unbanned =D
How long will you give the offenders to fix the ones they had?
*wetsself* I have more sig limit =DDD
Let's see how much the three word thing is abused.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I preferred the three word rule as it was. Signature size is a welcome change though.
^The admins and the member council came to the decision to edit the rule because the points that people were making were fair, and of course true. Some posts don't need 4 words, so reducing the rule to 3 words helped people who just wanted a short answer get what they need.
Also, the old version of the rule prevented people from spamming every topic with 'yeah!' or 'that's cool', so we decided to edit it instead of remove it.
Yay new rules.
