Avatar Sizes
Avatar Sizes
Now, before I begin, let me make it clear that this is a serious post and complaint, and it's not just be 'trying to be smart' as some of you may assume.
As stated here and here, avatars are allowed to be a maximum of 80*80 pixels. It also said it here, until I bought up the issue in the IRC channel earlier, and the rules stated there magically changed... (EDIT: They have now changed back thanks to this topic )
Now this brings up a few issues. Firstly, and most importantly, which rules are correct? What's the point of having them if they're different in places?
Secondly, IF avatars are still limited to 80*80, then I'd like to report the following groups of people for breach of avatar rules;
Admins
Junior Admins
Moderators
Sig of The Month winners
All of their avatars are 90*90 pixels. So even before the rules were changed earlier today, they were still in breach before. Unless, of course, these special people don't have to follow the rules...
Thirdly, if the rules are indeed now 90*90, then wouldn't it be a good idea to update it in ALL of the places where avatar restrictions are listed.
And lastly, don't just say "oh, well it's 90*90 now..." just because I've pointed out the fact that the above people were in violation. If they were wrong, admit it.
Define limits, and make sure they're the SAME EVERYWHERE.
Admins/moderators etc should not be immune to the rules. The only reason there are avatar size rules is so the pages aren't stretched, and there isn't loads of bandwidth being used. If these people are so special, that their avatars should be allowed to do this anyway, then there shouldn't be rules on them at all.
Have a wonderful and productive day.

The limit for an avatar is 80x80. I have not heard of this changing at all. Who was saying that?
But please, if someone would like to make new rank images that are 80x80 then by all means go ahead and PM the links. I'll do my best at contacting some admin.
That's always the excuse I've heard of why our avatars are 90x90. I think that the images were made back when limits were 90x90 and of course the admins(or lack thereof) never got arorund to changing it.They are Rank Images, not avatars.

I have to disagree, have we forgotten how many times hes spammed with gay porn and flamed users over and over and over, granted most of it is at files forums but I think getting moderator will only encourage this kind of behavior, in my opinion malf should have been perma IP banned a long time ago.
