This isn't an announcement but more of a reinforcement, regarding graphics.
1. It is clearly stated in the rules that only your character's playby may be your avatar or signature, from now on it is allowed to have two, and only two buttons of 88x31 pixels to show house pride and etc in their signature. All other graphics in the signature section that exceed this size and aren't of your character's playby shall be removed without warning.
2. Lately I've begun to notice the irregular sizes of signatures, and the fact is they don't look very aesthetically pleasing, so now the limit for signatures is a maximum width of 600 px & height of 250 px.
3. While doing OTM awards I discovered that many people's avatars aren't 100x100 px as it is stated in the rules, I understand that some people's playbys are very unique and that good quality stock images of the playby are hard to come by but please try to follow this rule. Hollow Art, Livejournal, Caution 2.0, & Shadowplay are good sources however you'll probably need to rehost the images, if you have trouble with that don't hesitate to PM me. <3
4. I haven't (fortunately) come across this yet but if someone from another site or even this one makes you a signature it is common courtesy to credit. Do not claim something as yours if it's not.
5. In actuality having an avatar or a signature is optional so please don't feel forced to go out and make or find yourself an icon or signature. However having the avatar at least as a visual representation is a good idea but once again this is optional.
Hopefully if you had any questions relating to graphics it's been answered here but if you still have any questions, even questions not about graphics please feel free to PM me or any other of the admins such as Dest, Connie or Sophie who are linked in the sidebar via the dropdown. <3
