I'm honestly not very fond of signature pictures myself 8\ I find that large ones tend to distract from the person's post, and having multiple people with image signatures, stretches the page, which can cause lag for some users that don't have the best connection. it also makes the forums harder to browse for users that like to view the forums from their phones ((like me)), since they'll have to scroll through big images to read more actual posts.
if signature limit is a MUST HAVE OR ELSE THE FORUM SUCKS!!!, then I would recommend the limit be something like one image per signature, 480x80px and 30KB max size, with .gif, .jpg. and .png being the allowed formats. That's the size limit on another forum I frequent, both on the computer and on my phone, and it works out nicely. 30KB gifs shouldn't be much of a problem, but I'm fine with not allowing gifs at all.
so in summary, I vote NO for signature images, but if people MUST have their precious images, then please keep it relatively smallish for the sake of other users~
