Avatar & Signature Guidelines
Avatars and Signatures are provided to allow members to add a custom/personal touch to their Posts. There are a few guidelines which all members must follow, remember this is a privilege.
- No nudity, violent, graphic, illegal or racist images/logos/words. Please keep it PG-13.
- No derrogatory, or offensive Avatars/Signatures are allowed.
- Avatars are limited to 125x125 pixels in size and up to 50 kb.
- Profile Pics are limited to 250x150 pixels in size and up to 75 kb.
- Signatures are limited to 500w x100h pixels in size and no larger than 50,000 total pixels in size.
- All forum Members are allowed up to 3 images not to exceed a combined total of 50,000 pixels, and up to five lines of text for signatures.
- Any coding (HTML, HTM, CSS, the Vbulletin BBcode...etc) which yields an image as it's final product when displayed constitutes an image, and falls under the 3 image limit and size guidelines.
- Signatures linking to a Business are allowed so long as they are within the signature and forum guidelines.
- You can link to your E-bay sales, and B/S/T section items on this forum but you CANNOT put "I got xyz for sale for $123" or "I got xyz to trade for xyz" in your signature. There is a B/S/T section for those types of postings.
- Offsite B/S/T threads are not allowed to be linked in your Signature.
- Avatars or Signatures containing references to drugs, and/or drug use is not allowed (unless for legitimate drug awareness purposes) and will be deleted without prior notice.
- Added 8/26/2008: While we recognize that many of our members are involved in specific historical military recreation, we cannot allow members to post Nazi-specific images. These images include, but are not limited to: the Nazi swastika, the SS lightning bolts or Death's Head, or any image which appears to glorify Nazi leadership, policies or any current iteration of Nazism or racial supremacy. This policy is not meant to discourage members from displaying period-authentic German Army/Wehrmacht uniforms, weapons or insignia. This policy is open to interpretation by A5OG staff and members are encouraged to contact a moderator with any questions.
Forum members found to be in violation of these requirements will be issued a warning and the offending Avatar/Signature removed.
Second offense will result in the member loosing the Avatar/Signature privilege for a period of time, and possible further punishment.
Management has final say in what is acceptable on all Avatars/Signatures. This issue is not up for debate, and all decisions are final. These rules are subject to change without notice.
