Update.
I'm continuing on the subject of my disabled signature. It seems a reasonable answer is so hard to come by these days.
I took the matter to the Bugs & Technical Support forum, hoping to get a little more light on the situation. So far, not good. Although I did recieve a reply from a mod, it didn't answer my question.

You are required to review your own signature based on the ToS of the site.
The 'About' page is not made to actually check the physical dimentions nor the file size of items in your signature, the only thing it checks is the total characters in the signature block (which I believe are set at 255 still).
While I agree the wording is still off a bit, the fact is the ToS is there which is to be read before joining (and even while participating in the site to review changes which happen sometimes), and you should have checked your own images and stuff before putting it into your signature.
Please don't use the excuse of other signatures violating ToS as a reason to break the ToS yourself, if you find signatures over the 100KB file size limit, the 500x500 Viewing area limit, or violating the ToS in any which way, either PM a Purple Dedicated Moderator directly about it, or use the 'Report a Post' function in the forums for their post to report it as well.

I can assure you that the images set into my signature were in no way offending or in violation of the ToS. In fact, the only person one of the images could have offended is me, because that one is a gag picture of my avatar in a dress. I do hope no one else was offended by that picture or the other one.
I did not mean to say that I had violated the ToS by seeing any other person violate it. I apologize if that's what it sounded like. I merely meant that, compared to some other images in other people's signatures, my images could not possibly offend.
What I mean concerning the "About" section in profiles is that, if there are too many words/characters placed in, you will be unable to have have an "About" section unless you reduce the number of words/characters. I'm under the impression that if signatures are over the 500x500 limit, I will be unable to have a signature at all - without it being disabled, of course.
What I'm really worried about is the fact that I never recieved a request from a mod about my signature size...it was just disabled without warning. I'm concerned about that, and I simply wish to know why I never recieved warning.
Jeeze...this is a tough week.

Of course, you could repeativelly send them PMs saying,
"Is my sig fixed? Is my sig fixed? Is my sig fixed? How about now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? How about NOW? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Meow? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Iowa? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now? Now?"
You know, when you say a word repeativelly like so, it seems to loose its meaning, doesn't it? Maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm insane.
