Aside from my visceral dislike of graphic .sigs at all (due to years of aversion therapy in gaming forums), if we have to have them, I think it would save resentment on the part of the reported person, guilty feelings on the part of the reporting person, confusion, ambiguity, and stress all around, not to mention mods' time, if some kind of technical limit could be placed on .sig sizes. That way, nobody has to report anything; oversized .sigs get either rejected or resized, whatever the forum software can handle, and it's totally content-neutral. There's no "who's the @#$& who reported my .sig?" (even if they don't come out and say it), etc. Nobody likes being reported, and few people like reporting people (those who do are their own special problem). Preventing the situation from ever coming up reduces stress all around.
