Not allowed.
Max height 160px = no text.

That only applies if you have images. xris has touched on this topic before. To use his words, they are not "anal" when applying the signature rules.

Just some text size 4 for signature is fine.
Though the 6 line limit does not apply.

You can also do this:

You can also do this:

I was referring to image + text.

I am well aware of the forum rules concerning signatures, I make them on a regular basis.

If you want text, you have to make the image smaller. I have two lines of text, so my banner height is 120px (learned that the hard way). Some users get around it by other means and others break it without penalty, so yeah. I say ask a moderator before you change it, to be on the safe side and all.

Yeah this I know as well, but he told MK to do it, and his sig is 160px tall, so I was just warning him.

and I know about how some people get away with it.

Bribing the guards and all

Uhm, I didn't know he was so attached to his current signature...

He can attach text to the right of his signature, or create a 215 by 160 image with text and attach it to the right.

What the... no. Just no. If you see a signature that doesn't match the rules, report it and it will be dealt with. Period. No one is exempt; not even the staff. It's not as though we are always looking at every single post with a virtual ruler, but we deal with whatever we notice. So please; report anything you find. If there is a point of confusion that needs to be clarified, then we can do so.

That's not on-topic to this thread, but I need to stop that insinuation right now. Please just report any rule-breaking, and it will be dealt with. If you have an image that's 500 x 160: no text. Period.

I know, whenever I see a sig breaking the rules, I do report those (and I'm talking about people swinging around 2 sigs at once, or entire wallpapers as sigs)

What I mentioned about "bribing the guards" was meant as a joke
I'm not some moron who goes around lolsigging every chance he gets

Oh is that so, why didn't you tell us all this time. Here, let me help you with that.

First suround signatures with a block.

<div class="sigblock">
    <!-- signature goes here -->
</div>

Then install on your browser this userscript...

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Virtual Sig Ruler
// @namespace      AS
// @description    Virtual ruler for red.
// @include        http://forums.animesuki.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function ($) {

	var maxSigWidth = "500";
	var maxSigHeight = "160";

	function getUserName(current)
	{
		return current
			.parent() // <div style="clear:both">
			.parent() // <td class="alt1" ... >
			.parent() // <tr ... >
			.find(".bigusername")
			.text();
	}
	
	function scan(container)
	{
		var height = container.width();
		var width = maxSigWidth;
		container.children("img").each(function() {
			if ($(this).width() > maxSigWidth)
			{
				width = $(this).width();
			}
		});
		
		if (height > maxSigHeight || width > maxSigWidth)
		{
			var username = getUserName(container);
			alert("User: " + username + "\nProblem: Signature dimentions.");
		}
	}

	$(document).ready(function() {
		$(".sigblock").css("max-width", maxSigWidth+"px");
		$(".sigblock").each(function() {
			scan($(this));
		});
	});
	
}) (unsafeWindow.jQuery);

If you're using Opera delete the "unsafeWindow." underlined part.
