MyGaming suggestion box

You make a valid point, of course, but at the same time one needs to ask: How do you prove you're a regular reader?

myGaming's news section and the myGaming forum are one and the same - the forum is all about participating and building community. Part of the purpose of these competitions is to bring newcomers to the forum and help build the community. That's why to enter, you need to visit the forum, otherwise they may as well just have put up a random entry form somewhere on the site. At the moment, what we have is people who read the article, pop onto the forums, enter competitions, win prizes (or not) and disappear until the next comp comes along. At that point, they suddenly crawl out the woodwork, post randomly until winners are announced ... and vanish like mist in the sunshine afterwards.

You seem to interpret my suggestion as some form of misdirected hostility towards new people, or people who are "too busy" to post regularly. It's not. It's hostility towards people who want something for nothing. And I'm sure some unhappiness occurs when someone who spammed their way up to 20 or 50 or whatever number walks away with a prize and is never heard from again. Not to mention that I hate having to read spammy posts - and I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Very well put Shadow!
 
I have a question... why can't I upload a animated gif to my picture albums anymore. the ones I uploaded some time ago still work but adding new ones does nothing. :(
 
2 honest suggestions:

1) Take away the custom user profile pages, it looks terrible. (instant migraine)
2) Limit the size of the signatures. Some are just OTT.
 
Maybe then, they should just have guidelines with regards to the size of graphical sigs - say size x by y, no bigger than x amount of kilobytes (I've come across a case where one bloke had a 1.2MB sig). It doesn't have to be strictly enforced, but then obviously if someone goes blatantly oversize the mods can just send him/her/it a message and say "Hey, tone it down a bit"

From the MyGaming Rules and Regulations:

2. Signatures may not be multileveled.
3. Signatures may consist of a maximum of one image no larger than 500 width and 90 height.

So I completely missed that we had them already, but tbh who reads the rules & regs. Mine tend to be small anyways, so I never look for it.
