Effective immediatly if your running a button or banner in your signature you need to adhere to one of these policies.

1. Be a current advertising sponsor
2. Have a recipricol banner on the site your are advertising of same size or higher.
- We will be checking so make it easy to find.... like on the front page.
- In your webmasters area will also be good if it is linked from your front page.
- We dont care if its a free site, surfer site or webmaster site add our banner.
3. Text links are fine as long as they arent in huge type.

We think this is only fair for you to promote Oprano since you are using Oprano to promote yourself.

Questions?

I'm fine with 2 ... ive already had a banner back to oprano on my first page of YugSTAR.com ever since i put it up online.

My question is, in my sig, i have a small banner (i remember initially i had a HUGE one, cj told me to shrink it down), and a few links to sites which are relevant to me.

I don't think on a board like this there should be any need for anyone to have ridiculous sized banners. We aren't sig whores. Every one of my links in my sig is relevant and important, and if someone wishes to see what sites or projects i am affiliated with, they are there to click on.

How many links are we aloud in our sigs?
And if the answer is many, does each link we have in our sig NEED to have a link back, or can it be just one of them?
What is the maximum dimensions and file size for a banner?
Define current advertising sponsor, because I have contributed to the new sexines ezine coming out this week, does that count?

Don't get the impression i am against the rules, i just think they should be more clearly defined, and perhaps explained better to new people when they sign up, as i know i personally didn't see any definitions about rules in regards to sigs.

Personally, I put a link to oprano on every webmaster related project i work on. I like this community more than any other, even though i hardly know most of you here.
