Okay, lets see. You made the theme, right? So, to our knowledge you made the blend. You saved it in PNG format, and then renamed the file name to '.jpg'. That way, it appears to be a JPG image, but in reality it's still a PNG, with a HUGE filesize.
The
Signature limitations thread says:

- Please don't use any PNG files in your signature, as they tend to have incredibly large file sizes. We recommend you use JPEG or GIF instead.

That means that we're asking you not to use images in PNG format, because they are very big in filesize. What can you possibly misunderstand from that?
You got 6 weeks because:
1. It is 2 weeks for the violation.
2. I remember you participating in that thread that BritneyFeva had made, which was about her using a PNG file in her signature that we removed, and she got pissed over. Hence we know that you KNOW the rules, but you STILL use PNG, which stands for another 2 weeks.
3. And finally, you changed the filename to appear as if the image is a JPEG, but the filesize is STILL too big, which is what this is all about. Also perfectly explained in BritneyFeva's thread which you participated in. Another 2 weeks.
I believe Wdnesday got a little aggravated because she assumed that you are not a complete moron, and that you have the ability to think for yourself. Hence, things pointed into the direction that you did this deliberately for some reason.
I'm still pondering over how you can possibly misunderstand the words "don't use PNG", words that are written in black and white, using perfectly clear English.
When you are able to make blends, surely you know how the program works. When you save your blend to your harddisk, you get to choose in which format you wish to save it. JPEG and GIF are in that list, as well as PNG. You pick JPEG or GIF, press Save and it's as simple as that. You're not gonna tell me you don't know that, are you?
