I think width and filesize are areas where you can up the limits without much side-effect.
Assume your average viewer is living in the dark ages and still viewing on 800x600 monitor, with that it looks to me like you could up width to around 600 before causing a scrolling issue. And really, a scrolling issue is the ONLY issue with respect to width.
As for filesizes, the only good counterargument is the paying for bandwidth one. And honestly, what the hell? If I was paying for bandwidth I'd turn all images for all sites off.
I don't have much of an opinion on height, as long as it stays reasonable. It seems like an uppage to 100 would be ok. Maybe make some sort of trade-off? Like the entirety of your signature has to be less than x pixels tall, including text you use. Of course that'd probably be a pain to enforce unless there was an easy sizing reference in the post format that'd make a violator stick out like a sore thumb.

A massive pain. I was getting pretty good at being able to judge a sig that was a few pixels off by sight before the forums went down. Now, not so much. Add in text to the mix and I really have no idea how to judge things.
Although I'd still ding people for something with a lot of single letter lines in a sig making the sig longer than the post. That's just

Exactly. And I just realized that making such a tool to check sizes wouldn't be the hardest thing ever. I'm thinking it could take the form of a moderator only link added to the plethora of per-post tools at the bottom of each post. The link loads only the signature in a popup of maximum signature dimensions, the existance of a scrollbar in that popup is the big red flag.

For the love of god add anti-aliasing to the text in your sig. It gives me a headache <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />
