-There are several objections to having images in signatures. In particular, they are said to cause server slowdown, and to serve no purpose in an encyclopedia project other than vanity in addition to making pages more difficult to read. There have been some calls for banning them entirely; some people have objected to such a ban, aruging it would stifle creativity.
-Please discuss on the talk page.
-;Style restrictions
-Other suggestions include that signatures should
-*not be too long (long signatures with lots of HTML/wikicode may make page editing more difficult),
-*should not contain <code>&lt;big&gt;</code> tags (produces <big>big</big> text), and
-*should not contain line breaks (<code>&lt;br&gt;</code> tags)
-*not include images.
