Pics in Sigs?
This question was answered by AnandTech Moderator, on Thursday, September 23, 2004 11:45 PM
Answer:
Gifs are a bannable offense and everyone who has one better get it out of their sig RIGHT NOW!

My picture is not a GIF, and I think that's only referring to animated GIFs anyway.

We'll soon find out. Please continue to test your theory.

Yes please continue your research.

had rec'd a pm from the AT mod saying Remove the gif from your sig immediately! 09/23/2004 11:42 PM but was running a jpg like you..so went back to my previous sig which was a direct AT mod quote awhile back which is not searchable in AT. ..just a headsup :)

Interesting...I wonder why the IMG tags were enabled in the first place though. I'm still hanging onto the image until I get a PM or see a sticky that specifically says all images are bannable.

Probably some upgrade or code change and Jason forgot to click on the "No" radial.

As someone that gets threats of being banned more often than I'd like, prepare to remove it from your sig. ;)

I have faith in the benevolence of the mods. They can edit my signature if they want, or an admin can disable img tags, or they can send me a PM and the image will be gone soon after. Banning isn't called for at all.

Well, like you said, you've been close to banning quite a few times before, and since you don't have a picture in your sig, that can't be what the mod was PMing you about.

I PMed the Anandtech Moderator in a quest to get clarification on the rule, that was the response. ;)

That's my guess. Every response is obfuscated and useless. So far they have told me I cannot have a picture of a statue.
