What's allowable for clickable links, sigs, avs?

Post by deer of the dawn »

I'm not talking about objectionable/offensive content. Can I, for example, do a clickable picture for my avatar?

Can I put a clickable picture in my signature? Can it be to something I am selling?

For example, this:

IMO, if you're a regular poster and you're not obnoxious about it then I don't care.

I wouldn't see any problem with it. Though I don't like people having tall images in sigs, heh.

Many of us have had a clickable picture in our signatures for well over a year. The Furls Fire item links back to the eulogy thread that Fist began and which concludes with Tracie's farewell letter to all of us.

I like pron but not too fond of porn. Well, not all porn. :wink:

I'm sure we had guidelinesfor sigs somewhere - but essentially as ong as it's not to large (height, width, size) and doesn't cause offense or link to offensive content then I'd think it's fine. If it links t something you're personally connected with tht's fine too but not t some adclick pay thing if that makes sense.

What Vain said. Horizontal banners are better for sigs than vertical pics.

There's no way to make your avatar clickable though.
