:Notice that your "the idea is..." part of rule 2 is exactly what the current policy is supposed to reflect. The only thing the currently policy doesn't have going for it is that it's utterly unenforced-- which is a problem of administration, not a problem of policy. I'd prefer fixing the former as opposed to amending the latter unnecessarily :p &ndash; [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 18:16, 9 January 2012 (EST)

:Addendum: Also note that I called for such 3 months ago, 2 sections up. I still believe actually stepping up this time is the best option. &ndash; [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 18:51, 9 January 2012 (EST)

::The reason I'm thinking about rule tweaks in addition to enforcing is that it's currently possible for someone to upload a scad of duplicate images for their sig and not use all of them, and if someone changes their sig image a lot (something that should also be canned) we end up with a lot of duplicates that are used infrequently at best.

::While not "necessary" they, when used properly, are an additional way to quickly identify the user. Humans are a lot better at quickly identifying images than text. Sig images have also been allowed for the entire history of the wiki so I'm highly against removing them outright.

*Rule 3 seems like the best way to go. [[User:Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">Mousehunter321</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">talk</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Mousehunter321|<font face="Calibri">contributions</font>]])</small> 00:13, 13 January 2012 (EST)
*As with the others, I agree that Rule 3 would be the superior choice, as it allows users to have the freedom of any image in their signature with no restriction against it.

* 3, since it is quite difficult for people to make their own images and this keeps confusion (e.g. if users put a different name for a signature image than we would expect.
