It is total overkill and entirely unnecessary!

Poppy, I have to agree with you 100%.  I think all signatures should be checked out and ones that don't comply should be removed.

[#4]

Chilly - I already have the boxes to which you refer ticked but still have to read whether someone agrees with 18 month contracts, is about to leave PN, on this or that product or likes to go hang-gliding!
The replies are ever-changing and are of interest to me but the rest is just plain boring!

[#5]

Looks like your preference's are not working, I have just ticked the box and can no longer see signatures. Try unticking it save, retick and save again,
I do agree that the large font red letters are annoying.

Agree with jelv that personal opinions should be banned in signatures.
There also seems to be a contest to make the the most eye-catching/colourful/animated sig. Total nonsense!

[#7]

Why not ban signatures and avatars too - in fact anything that expresses a person's likes/dislikes. 

[#8]

My opinion is that if a signature doesn't contravene the rules, then it's fine..
There is a grey area where a sig may contravene the spirit of the rules, in which case a discussion with the relevant poster via PM would be my preferred route.
There are a lot of opinions that people feel that they need to raise awareness of, and I'm fine with that as long as the rules are followed.

Threads in forums are discussions/debates. If someone was having the same or similar conversation with another face to face or over the telephone, it is unlikely that they would express an opinion on the same theme after each sentence or phrase.
I rest my case!

Although true poppy, I would add that you would be unlikely to start a sentence or phrase with ' Reply #38 on Today at 07:40'. I agree their should be rules on size, etc but I think signatures should remain. If people don't want to see signatures or avatars for that matter they should block them through their profile.
[Edit:  I do think the Forum Rules should be updated so give a maximum font height as well as having the size rule]

[#11]

Have no objection whatsoever to avatars and small, discrete signatures, which are, in some instances, useful. For instance The 10th has a small signature displaying his package with PN. This might have been useful to someone who wanted to know about this product. Some of them I actually enjoy - particularly Pierre's with his little humorous ones.
My own is just to display the Force 9  brand as this will diminish over time and for some people might be of interest if they did not know the history of PN.
However, these examples are hardly headline grabbing as some we have recently been subjected to.

[#12]

But doesn't Pierre's break the rules? It's sometimes hard to see his message amongst all the pics

[#13]

I've altered mine again as I'm less unhappy than I was.  It should be within the 4 lines limit.

[#14]

looks like I will have to find another caped crusader then

[#15]

But Piere - on my screen your one line message with an Avatar and sig line image is 8cm high,
A message with an Avatar but no sig line image is about 7.5cm,
A one line message with no Atatar or sig line image is 5cm.
So are we going to have a limit on Avatar image size too ?
