Braving the chance at being poked just for asking, but!

Question: How/why were the sig height guidelines decided(specifically such an exact number)?
Especially given how it seems to have reduced most sigs to a collection of spoiler tags.

And why does it feel as though there are quite a few that have been hit seemingly so suddenly?
Have seen more sigs slapped with the little message within only this last day or two than all the time I've spent here.

Signature height guidelines were decided simply for ease of reading a forum. When scrolling down a thread having large signatures after each post makes the page unnecessarily long with what is essentially useless information. We wanted more page space dedicated to actual posts.

You've noticed more signatures being hit recently as we changed the way that we handle oversized signatures. Previously, we would send a PM to the users informing them that their signature was too large and that they should handle it. This was very time-consuming as after we had PMed we had to go back at a later date and check to make sure the user had resized their signature.

In the last couple of days we have changed the way we deal with this internally, editing the signatures and informing the user with a message placed in their signature directly.
 
So, my siggy was removed for being too large. The picture is within the siggy height rules, and we are allowed one line of text, which I used for my Spoiler tag. Is this against the rules?
Edit: We are allowed one line of text, aren't we?

The line of text is simply that, a line of text. Not a spoiler tag.
 
The spoiler isn't counted as a one line of text because it adds space around it. I know there is nothing you can do about the added space but that space matters.

If you want to keep a spoiler in your signature with a 250 pixel height image, you should edit the image to 230 and you will be within the limit.
