I belong to a lot of forums and the avatar rules are different on a great many of them. I use the same avatar on most forums, customized to fit the color scheme and size restrictions. If they allow 100x100 avatars, I'll gladly use a 100x100. If it's 60x60, I don't care. On my own forums, the rule is 100x100 maximum. The rules on my forum apply to everyone, including staff.

I had a member complain that my signature image was larger than the rules allow and he made a big deal out of it on other forums. I guess he didn't know how to check the properties to see that my sig was maximum size and no larger. Others had smaller signature images. But I decided then that I would not put up with the notion that staff, including me, were above the rules. We set the example and expect all members to follow it.

This is not meant to denigrate the rules vB.org. I have no problem complying with and accepting the rules here.
