Section II. Signature Requirements
Definition of terms:

Sig / Siggy / Signature

"Signature", can often refer to the main large image (500 x 200 pixels on TOZ) in your signature.

Bumper	Sprite	Guild Contest Icon	Stamp
		Soon
100x100 pixels icons often used on the sides of your signature (500 x 200 image). On TOZ, these are often prizes given out from games and events.	Little pixel dolls similar to old school video games.	Won from Guild-only contests.	Collectibles that you can get freely every day, by achieving milestones, or purchasing them.

Section 1: Rules
Signature Rules:
Signatures can be changed as much as you like as long as it conforms with a PG-13 rating.

• Text: Up to 2 lines.
  --The maximum size allowed for text is Size 18. Lines must be on top or under your signature image.
  --If you have no images in your signature, you can have up to 4 lines of text.
  
• Images: Up to 2 lines.
  --Things that may not be stacked (meaning you can not use them in both lines): 
  signature image (500 x 200),
  bumpers,
  
• The maximum width of your entire signature area may not exceed the width of the forum's threads. So if your signature starts stretching threads, then it is too wide.
  --Any possible arrangement of sprites, guild icons or stamps on the secondary line (the one not containing the sig image) must not be any wider than a signature with two bumpers on either side. (See examples below).
  
• These rules can be changed at any time and are enforced at the interpretation and discretion of staff.
