I apologize if this has already been discussed. If it has please flag this and tell a mod to lock/delete the post.
In most other forums I have been on there was some form of putting a signature after your post. I suggest that they should add this to AG. It would be a great way to personalize posts. These signatures would not show up on comments. I also think that there should be some form of AP requirements to use signature. For example, 50 points let's you post text, 125 lets you post pictures and links and 250 let's you post animations. Finally, there should be a size and memory limit for each signature. This is to prevent anyone from having very large pictures and makes the page take much longer to load. Please tell me what you think of this idea. All helpful improvements are encouraged.
Yes this is a multiple, but flagging comments is for when someone is flaming or spamming.
Though there isn't a section for sigs, every user is allowed to use them. All you have to do is put the image or text underneath your post, though for images the limit is 150x250. As far as AP requirements, those are unneeded. If anyone is active enough in the forums to know how to put images under the posts *should* be good enough to use them. But yeah, even though there is not a section anywhere for you to automatically post a signature, you are allowed to manually post them.

More work for the mods is the same kind of argument as "it would cause lag"...
Anyway. It's been brought up before. Last I heard it was a definite maybe, but it will probably be a looong time before the site is at a development stage where it's practical to add if it will ever be added.
