Keep images in your signature and posts a decent size. Signatures should not exceed 300 pixels in height.
Remember, these rules are standard guidelines, and while not everything is covered, you should use common sense and think before you post.

Why put restrictions on signature width? Don't they get clipped off if they're too wide, anyway? Even if it's not that way now, it could easily be changed to be that way.

Wot where does it say signature width is restricted

What in the world I could have sworn it said something about signature width when I looked at it the first time. It had 2 examples, one of an okay signature and one of a not okay signature and then I saw those and I went and looked at the signature rules and it said something about it not exceeding some limit in height.

That would have been Pingohits version of the rules, not Buzzerbee's

Could formal informal warnings be incorporated in some way officially?

I remember moderators of past forums warning ppl verbally and not thru warnings system.

Was there ever some kind of system for them to know when to warn someone with warning/verbal warning?

There was a thread I made where 2 ppl made the same mistake and one of them was verbally warned while the other was not. I am unsure as to whether the other was warned in the system/actually given a warning or not.

With the warnings mod on the other forums you could hand out 0 post warnings which were basically verbal warnings.
