Can we have a height limit on signatures please?

Size is the complaint. Bareness is not the desire, compactness is.
There's no reason a signature that's small (vertically) can't be packed with personal expression and flourish.
The option to remove signatures all together is nice, but it removes the useful and small ones along with the big superfluous ones.

It's just taking up screen space for arguably nothing useful.
I think people have a right to have the space occupied by their post to not be meaningful content. However, I don't think it matches the ideals of this community.

I sat on this for a while to see how I felt about it and I've got bunch of new things to say:
I'd like to request a ban on quote blocks in signatures, They're rarely useful, and add way more space than just using quotation marks. Usually they're ok, but at current we're dealing with this from @SC PL:
I keeping this quotes, because there automatically abbreviated (Like in image in quote). If there wasn't abbreviated, I'll remove them due of covering whole page
But if for you guys are annoying, I can always remove them
They're automatically abbreviated but still very big: and then you have an extra quoteblock and two extra lines. I would suggest you get rid of them, yes.
Also I had not seen snickerpuff's signature: i'd agree that that's not appropriate.

I kind of agree. I think it would be difficult to truncate images that way, from a technical perspective, and anything else... be briefer, man.
Well you've shaved 125 pixels off your signature by making it all one block quote, which is an undeniable improvement, but I'd still have lumped it's current form into the "far too big" category.
Another thing that @Geit might be able to assist with is collapsing block quotes again after they've been opened.

Just seems to be one of those things that always show up in forums, I guess. Along with necroposts, bumps, etc.
Looks better.
I guess I'm offering signature critique now, heh
It's better Berry but it still suffers in several areas:
It's better Berry but it still suffers in several areas:
- The drop shadow on 'Map Showcase' is faaaaaar too far from the main text and makes it hard to read
- 'Map Showcase' looks like a link but isn't, yet it's the main visual thing and most obvious place to click
- The actual links are small and below the image which relegates their importance to minimal
- Because the links are done as text rather than subsections of the image like Swordfish's, your signature is actually bigger
- The alignment isn't consistent:
- The pokemon are vertically central to the image, but the links are text, so there's more space below the pokemon than above
- The pokemon are vertically central but 'Map Showcase' is bottom aligned
- 'Map Showcase' doesn't appear to be centred horizontally properly between the pokemon
- 'Map Showcase' isn't centered horizontally to the links below it
