I removed it as the file size was in excess of 200k, which is well outside the rules.

Avatar is 5k max.

?? OK, that I can follow, but its a link to an offsite avatar? Surely the size doesn't matter?

And thanks for telling me the reason as soon as you did it.

It does matter cause some people browse the site on mobile connections and dont want to be downloading loads of expensive avatars etc, plus it effects the speed that the images appear for other users.

Agreed that it doesnt effect the PF server in the slightest though obviously.

It does actually, due to teh way PHP refreshes its links on every request, but exactly what effect that has escapes me, pet explained it all somewhere and its something to do with PHP software checking and validating links before serving them out.

The rules are there wherever the avatar is held.

You avatar was in excess of 200k so I removed it.

JayCos's will now be removed as the word "cunt", even though its no longer banned, will not be tolerated in a sig or an avatar.

Fair enough, I don't mind it being removed if it breaches the rules, I just wanted to know why as no bugger bothered telling me anything, it just got removed with no warning or explanation.

it was decided to be done this way as some people seem to ignore the 3 requests they used to get ... then got the arse because the 4th was normally to tell em they were no longer entitled to have one ...
it makes it easier for the mod team to keep it under control thats all.. sorry

Can a choice be made availiable, so you can browse without sigs & avatars showing?

If thats aimed at me, there's no need to be sarky. I genuinely thought if it was offsite, the size was irrelevant. Now I know better, I don't have any issue with it being removed.

I browse on my phone sometimes when I am working away. Large signatures and avatars cost me a fortune.
