Neat thread Twills. And it's got tips forum avataaaars, so that alone gets a thumbs up from Akhet and the many many heads I have had and yet to have lol.
In fact, may find myself re-reading the thread many times to help with that eternal search for the 'ONE' look.
Original message details are unavailable.
You could add that signatures may consist of more than 4 lines.
thanks, sikr, for reminding me about that.
i think Jyggy posted some clarification somewhere recently enough about sig requirements/preferences/polices. *goes to look now*

I've been asked if I'd add a little regarding the size of signatures and the Forum rules.
The rule as it has been for a long time is as found in the runescape wiki:
Home // RuneScape Wikia // Forum FAQ
'Post signatures are not to have more than four lines of text. If a forum moderator deems that your signature could be classed as spam, they are allowed to ask users to remove the signature from further posts.'
However it was noted with the change in forum tools etc. in particular with the use of underlines, signatures were sometimes 5 lines or even 6 lines and these were not being moderated.
So, if you keep your signature to 4 lines of text, as long as the content is appropriate, you know you are within the rules.
However, the issue is really more to do with the size of signature rather than the number of lines per se. The issue is that a forum signature must not appear unreasonably large.
So as a rough guide, if the size of a signature is beginning to reach something like 1 inch/2.5cm in height, you will be approaching a size where a moderator may well ask you to change it as it will be deemed as too large, and not appropriate.
My fashion tip: make your avatar something unique. Most people have a boring partyhat or helmet of trials *cough cough*, to really stand out pick something you don't see often. People go like: "What is that?!" *gasp* and you can play the smartass
.
Hmm what about adding something about how paragraphs are good (and what a 'wall of text' is) and how ALL CAPS is shouting? Avoiding those traps can help make one's posts more fashionable too.
