[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 2398432, member: 7280"] Maybe you could link me to the lengthy threads of people complaining about them though? I just haven't seen any PbP sigs that were so off-putting that I see that it's a problem maybe? Is there someone specific whose signature is so distracting outside of the sig virus? Maybe the answer is just telling users of the PbP forums to show some restraint in their sigs, rather than making a blanket decision to moderate them out of existence based on some weird interpretation of poll results ("Less than half of the people want them removed, but some people don't care - that means I should go ahead with testing their removal!") I'm really not trying to be snippy, but that's [B]crazy[/B]. A 2-1-1 result isn't the same as a 2-2 result, especially since a status quo interpretation could argue that the results are more likely to actually (assuming that "I don't care" results are assignable) to be 3-1 :D I'm just saying, maybe this is something [i]you[/i] want really badly, but isn't an issue for the rest of the forums as much - and maybe because of that you're projecting your wishes against the numbers. Especially seeing as how this is the [i]second[/i] poll that's [i]still[/i] not meshing with the "we should turn sigs off!" [/QUOTE]
