No, you were correct the first time. I am an administrator, not the administrator (there are four of us).

Oh I know that; page load time was exactly what I was referring to.

I don't agree that the two are in anyway related . Having a thriving art community and asking people to keep to strict limits need not be incompatible.

Duly noted.

You know, the moderators (I love 'em but they are not just mine ) don't actually spend their time looking for signature that violate the rules. Signatures are either obviously outside of the rules and just get noticed or someone points them out.

What I really meant was something that is of tangible benefit to the forum as a whole. What does a regular user, not specifically interested in creating signatures, gain from everyone being allowed to have larger signatures. They're giving up some time and bandwidth for heavier / slower (very slightly) pages; what do they get in return?

The feature, as far as I can tell, is doing exactly what the designers intended it to do. The existence of the [NOPARSE] tag reassures me of this point. If all you want to do is post text that doesn't get interpreted as bbcode, [NOPARSE] is the tag to use. [CODE] appears to be designed simply for pre-formatting text (i.e. preserving white-space).
