Any thoughts on your own sig?

I recall. It's still centered though. Otherwise ok.

dceire PMd already earlier
What's wrong with Forky? Besides centering?

Animated gif.. probably not.

No animations allowed anywhere

Sabotage is not wrong.

smurph warned for knowingly breaking the rules.

Yes, mike65's sig violates the exact rule he decided to quote, which, in effect, makes his post useless.

In practice, the rules aren't enforced too strictly if a sig is marginally over the limit.

The general rule that applies in almost all cases is that if a sig isn't overly intrusive, it isn't viewed as a problem. The height of a sig is more significant than it's width. Taking your sig as an example, due to all the spaces you've added, your post takes up over twice as much space on a page than a 'legal' sig. And if 40 posts per page had something similar, the page would become over twice the length to scroll and read, and be much more difficult to glance through quickly, hence the importance of the image height.

Centred sigs are generally not allowed either as it can break the flow of the thread (ie. more difficult to read at a fairly quick pace) if text is all over the place with the various sigs of 40 posters per page.

Remove the large amount of spaces between the images and text lines and left justify and your sig shouldn't be a problem. Ultimately, the decision lies with the SMods, but they do appear to take quite a reasoned view of marginal violations.
