Okay. I am wondering if it would be acceptable to add without taking up too much space, as that is the exact reason why the mods told me to shorten it 2 times :(

It is only 2 lines long, I don't see why this new one would break the limit

Is this sig acceptable?

It's not all that complicated. If it's within the allotted 8 lines and doesn't break any other site rules (like flaming or trolling), it's probably fine. I don't care for the garish use of background colors, but that's my preference, not a rule.

Obligatory /notamod caution: as mentioned above, as long as it's eight lines or less, you should be fine — yours is at seven lines on my end, incidentally.

On another note, the floatleft used seems a little redundant, as all text starts from the left by default; you can also put the colour code around the float tag to save time

just
like
this.

Oh! Thank you very much for your advice, not a mod or not, it's still very helpful, and appreciated! I'll spruce it up a bit. :)

I'm not really sure on what to cut down from my signature, can anyone help me? :c

Okay well, I got a moderator telegram saying my sig is too long, so I guess I'll just cut out my spoiler text in it, um..

I would recommend getting rid of the italicized quotes in your sig - that should shorten it enough.

It looks too condensed, but I want to follow the lines rule, so yeah

I counted 7 lines. Getting rid of extra align tags and blank lines is often enough. One set of {align=center} tags will align multiple rows, even your whole sig.

Well, I only have one align tag I think, and since my sig is okay, can moderators unspoil my sig? I have to unspoil it just to see it so I assume that's a mod thing...

Your formatting pushes you over 8 lines. Lose the central box and maybe the HR and you'll be legal.

Edit: Correction - the right-hand box is 9 lines too. You're trying to squeeze in too much. Lose or combine something.

Is this better? I made the long text towards a YT link smaller, reduced the text on the right (and centre) box as well.

Edit: Also removed the OOC part, was going to be useless anyway
