Signing Your Post
 

Though low-content in nature, posters should be allowed to mock anybody who signs their post without fear of moderation.

-Pryde987 huuuuuurrrrrrrrr because you can't see my name just to the left of the post

What's the question?

It's about automatic signature on posts? Haven't most people figured out how to just turn them off?

After all, when you see someone's favorite Ayn Rand quote for the the eight-hundred-fifty-seventh time, don't you need to find out how to make it go away? :)

Something about moderation, maybe?

Could be? No idea.

Apparently some people still have signature display turned on...

It's not always the signature. Some people actually sign every post.

Maybe more specifically about OMIN/PR?

Some people also begin e-mails with "I am ..." even though it's in both the From field of the message and at the end, two paragraphs down.

Some people also begin letters (like cover letters on job applications) with "My name is ..." even though it's at the bottom of the page.

Bottom line is that some people don't think about how their communication comes across. Maybe they just enjoy seeing their own names a lot.

Regarding FT and other BB posts, some people sign their real names but have handles that are totally different. (Several examples come to mind.) I can accept that; the signature adds content. Signing with the same handle that is already to the left of the post is a waste of two lines, often multiplied when others quote an entire post and don't edit out the parts they're not referring to.
