3. User Signatures:

Signatures are enabled for all members but please be sensible and follow the signature guidelines. Keeping signature sizes to a minimum keeps our forums easy to read and loading quickly for all members. The following signature guidelines are in place and will be very strictly enforced:

- Signatures for standard members must be no larger than 600x250 (600 pixels in width by 250 pixels in height). That means ALL text, graphics and pictures must fit within that area. For more information and examples of what is acceptable, please see our signature guidelines in the Help Desk section.

- Links in signatures advertising other web forums and message boards are stictly prohibited.
If your signature does not fall within guidelines, it will be edited by a staff member without prior warning to you.



4. Warning System:

Generally speaking, members will receive 3 formal warnings before a ban is made on their account. Upon the third formal warning, a ban on the users membership will be made and they will not be allowed to create a new membership on MissImagaintion.com. However, our moderation team does reserve the right to bypass formal warnings, dependent upon circumstances of individual situations.
Warnings will be done privately and will not be made public business.
