Signatures on the Forums?

Should the forum be able to show signatures?
There are pros and cons to each side.
The Pros being people can more easily advertise for their mods, and help other members to get to know a little about them and their interests.
The Cons being that there are people out there that like to abuse this and use inappropriate signatures, and use it to link to "bad" web sites.

Add "Lo" for Hebrew.
And I'd prefer if signatures were left disabled for the time being.

Signatures make forums hard to read, so far as I've seen. I'd vouch against them.
Also, if it has been discussed before, and vetoed for a reason, it is unlikely to be changed.

I'm a fan of strictly limited signatures.

Unregulated signatures wouldn't be fun with all the trolls we have. They'd be nice for content producers to mention what they've made but I think that's not enough of a reason.

Some day I'm going to enable sigs without telling anyone, just to piss everyone off
Basically... we've never had sigs in the past because back in the day the SY's didn't like them, and we have gotten along fine until now, so I don't see a pressing need to enable them suddenly. A lack of sigs are just part of the culture here now.

Plus it means, of all the forums I read, this one looks the nicest and is easiest to read.
Signatures are a stupid concept for messageboards, IMO.
(I understand, of course, that back when the 'net was young forum posts were more like emails and less like a conversation, so signatures made sense. But nowadays, in a modern forum, why you would allow big blocks of flashy graphical crap to interrupt the column of text you are trying to read is beyond me.)
If we have to change this someday, I would set a limit of 1 line, text only sigs.

I completely, totally agree with Erom on this one - this is one of the easiest to read forums on the whole net. 1 line of text with a small font or a userbar (or whatever is this thing called) should be everything that's allowed if there's really need for that.

Isn't it lovely when everyone's got a sig bigger than their post?

Yes, especially with such amazing GIFs.
I generally like to have my GIFs turned on.
