I didn't want to start off a probably previous discussed topic in the Suggestions forums so I decided to ask here:
Why aren't there any signatures on this forum? Or at least the possibility to add one.. not image, just text? Let's say, few lines, or something like that?
Not that it's a must, I'm just really curious what's the reason behind not adding this.
I personally believe that such a thing isn't being considered due to the fact that on most forums with sigs, people get too carried away with them. It makes the forums look trashy.
Yeah,would you like everyone's big signature below everyone's post?Think the big pics thrashing the posts,the scrolling down and the people could also use it against the rules!Swearing,Advertisments etc. Some spammers would take that as their advantage.
If everyone had a few lines it would be a mess, and makes it harder to read the actual content. Having no signatures leaves us with quite a nice looking forum.
I strongly agree on not using signatures in Forum posts. They unnecessary make a thread visually 'loud' and difficult to read through. Moreso because there are undoubtely users who want to add unrelated gibberish to make a point on what they adore... think .gif images and the sorts. =)
In actuality, my dear fellow, there was a time(let's say 2009), when every commoner and nobleman felt a need for a sig with their posts, and it became quite messy here in the forums. Consequently, adding sigs to your posts became HIGHLY discouraged by the ruling classes of the time; often to the point of deletion of posts. Time causes forgetfulness, allowing the great wyrm of personalization and individuality to rear its oft-struck head once again. A silly concept are sigs, if you ask me.
