Hello everyone,

Reason for proposal
Yazzy and I noticed that some people's signatures are getting a bit unwieldy. This is a common thing as wikis grow, and other wikis have had to deal with the issue (e.g., 1 and 2). I do not wish our rules to be as strict as those two examples though.

Examples of signatures that are starting to be a bit much (no offense intended to these users):
 * Too large, no idea whose signature (no name), fairly long, and no time stamp
 * http://images.wikia.com/winx/images/thumb/9/97/Flora_Bloomix.jpg/150px-Flora_Bloomix.jpg Come and spread your wings   and fly!  http://images.wikia.com/winx/images/thumb/f/f5/Musa_Bloomix.jpg/150px-Musa_Bloomix.jpg


 * A bit large, no name
 * Short6_cross_eyed_mabel_transparent.png I guess I'm just IRRESTIBLE!!!  S1e4_funny_cross_eyed_mabel_transparent.png


 * Animated gifs, a bit large, no name
 * http://images.wikia.com/pandaland/images/8/84/Pink_Poodle1.gifRandomness is a gift. Don't over use it... Unless your me! http://images.wikia.com/pandaland/images/a/a1/Derpy_hooves_by_pauliewx-d41a2d4.gif 02:58, December 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Huge, animated gif

Proposal
I would like to propose the following rules:
 * No animated gifs (e.g., S1e19 bill knows lots of things.gif)
 * No more than 35 pixels in height (the above image is 35px).
 * You must have a link back to your userpage in your signature.
 * You must include your actual user name, or an image depicting it, somewhere in your signature.
 * Your signature must include the timestamp (UTC format, default info).
 * All image rules still apply.
 * Specifically, all non-Gravity Falls images must be uploaded on other wikis.

Discussion
Please use this forum post to discuss the proposal, suggest changes, etc. I will create a voting post where you can support or oppose the proposal later after we discuss it and hammer out details of the proposal.
