I have also seen this and it is far more annoying than signatures which can be turned off if the user so desired.The whole reason signatures were created in the first place as a forum feature is because people were doing this for years before!It doesn't matter if you make it against the rules or not. Like or not, not everyone reads the forum rules before they post, especially if they are like me and usually just assume that avoiding flames and rude language will conform with the majority of forum rules. If I were a newcomer to a forum and saw that I couldn't post a sig with a free account, but wanted a sig anyway, CTRL-C/CTRL-V is EXACTLY what I would do. And if I got warned or banned for doing so, I doubt I would ever visit that forum again. Even if this is just an experiment, you will chase away people like me who haven't been posting on this forum for eight years while you are doing it. And if CTRL-C/CTRL-V isn't moderated, those of us who have to quote such posts are all going to be irritated each and every time it happens, which will be a lot.Maybe this is just doom and gloom. I doubt it will affect existing users much. But doing away with sigs for free accounts is already making me question whether I want to hang out in EN World when there are plenty of other forums that talk about the same stuff that will let me post a sig. Heck, the main reason I like to use it is so people can easily link to the games I am running. And there are other places I could run my campaigns, which I am already thinking about doing.And although I may not have a "supporter" account, that doesn't mean I don't support EN World with my money. Not only have I bought stuff through banner ads with stuff I like before (increasing the value of EN World to its advertisers), I also buy EN World Publishing pdfs, which is direct money straight to them. Heck, I pre-ordered the entire War of the Burning Sky saga before it was even published.Do you think I'm happy about the sig thing? I'm not. I really think it needs to be reconsidered.</blockquote>
