I am pretty sure that we can probably set a limit on that. I'll look into it.

It shouldn't be too much of a problem for people to resize there is a site I use as my media laptop is broken called picresize.com where it can all be done there. Pretty quick and convenient for novices too.

New Rule - Please keep signature images at 175 pixels tall or smaller. If you have multiple images, and I think the most you can have is two, please put them side by side instead of stacking them.

I don't want to restrict anybodys artistic expression, but signatures that take up more than 20% of the screen are a bit of a distraction.

That one is showing up as 453px × 171px for me. Which I think looks good.

1. Treat everyone with respect. Since we started the site late last week, we've had fantastic debate among a wide variety of opinions with everyone treating each other with respect. If you were a name caller or a person who started threads defining a "real fan" at a different site, don't do that here. Any thread I see that implies that a "real fan" wouldn't criticize this or that - it won't be recieved well. I hate that garbage.

2. Any fan of another team that comes in and starts randomly ripping the Falcons or Falcons players with stupid stuff will just be sent packing. If they come in and have civil debate / discussion, they are welcome here.

3. Anybody who starts threads with the sole purpose of being a jack ass will be sent packing. That's left up to the mods discretion, so ask yourself when you start a thread, "could this thread be construed as being started just so I can be a jackass?"

4. Rules 1-3 are not up for debate.

That's the rules for now. We will add more as we see fit. Thank you all for joining and I hope you find this forum as enjoyable as I think it can be.

Now Peyton, we all know how Jedi is on Sundays. Things tend to get a little crazy if the Birds ain't doing so well. He should get a pass on this rule.

I am counting on Jedi to flash his new slighty less cynical persona on this board .

Dont worry, Im not going to be That Guy I am on AFMB. I mean yea, I might make my own Thread to vent and cuss and bitch, but that will be restricted to just that thread. I am not going to be an ass-clown to other people here.

Maybe it might be cool to create a Game Day Vent Forum, for people like me. A forum specifically made for people to go yell and scream and complain without offending others and causing a disruption in the Main Forum. It would be basically un-moderated and just everyone that's angry let it all out any way they want, make as many threads as they want.... then after game day delete all the threads there and empty it out and let it start again the next game. Maybe a good idea?

Man, you guys just let anyone in here, don't you?

We will, but it doesn't mean we will let them stay.

I have to say, everyone here has embraced the spirit we are trying to promote of civil conversation, and I really appreciate it. We haven't had really any problems at all so far.

Think of my idea for a Game Day Vent Forum. It could help keep the Main Forum a lot cleaner during game day. Think of it as a big Garbage Can that just gets emptied after every game.

That's probably the forum I would be spending at most all game day, then after things calm down return to the Main forum on Monday.
