Abusers sounds like such a nasty word. If someone embedded a 6000x6000-pixel Hubble Telescope image 10 times in a row as a prank, that would be abuse. If someone wanted a sig image just a little bit bigger than “normal,” would that be abuse?

If not abuse, what would it be? It would be a violation of netiquette, so after the “abuser” is made aware of such guidelines, further violations would at the least be considered rude.

Perhaps they aren’t an ‘abuser’ until they’re conscious there’s a norm that they’re abusing?

Anyways, I’d prever not to quibble over wording. I’d rather see something in place that defines appropriate and inappropriate use of FTX, so it can be posted and used as a guideline to prevent misuse.

  
  
  
   and avatars to no larger than 75x75,
What about 50x80?
If you prefer :-)

Oh I meant: If the rule was no larger than 75x75, what would you think if someone used 50x80? 120x60? 200x20? --Todd

I’d like to see avatars kept as small as possible. I may even use one of my own, but I believe it’s only 48x48.
