i understand if the signature is something stupid (like a picture, "add [number] to post count" etc) and does not in any way fit with any post, like a quote, but sometimes a signature is for comedic affect and works well with some posts (example: a 'RIP [person/account]' thread, reply is "oh well" signature is "...what, too soon?")
not only do they work in some situations, but they help with identifying OTers. for instance, a multitude of alts has the same signature. (like all the alts of therealsteveaustin, with his siggy "emos are idiots")
also, a siggy is wounderful for when you have to bump a thread. You could use the argument that "if a post is really good, then you dont have to bump it" and that is valid, but sometimes OT is a dead creature and you need to bump it for other people to see it. and a signature is much better than going "bump" "b1" "bump" (its my opinion that signatures are better than outright bumping, so dont take that as fact)
this is my argument for how signatures are good this is mostly opinion based so dont flip out and go livid over an opinion
this is setting off the anxiety that i didnt know i had http://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=178967546 |

"If you need a signature to identify yourself then you're clearly a nobody."
you seemed to have missed the point of that section the point of that section was if you have a siggy you are more likely to be recognized sitewide when you have to switch alts often, not just to get noticed on one account

"If you need a signature to identify yourself then you're clearly a nobody." buzzzz, wrong :] the logic in that is very flawed if you need a username to identify yourself, then you're clearly a nobody too? perhaps the fact that you need to announce to your friends that you're borowng (i recall the name as that) if you go on an alt that in no way links you to your well known identity, you'd of course tell your closest buddies that "hey, i'm your friend straitouttaboston!" so where lies the difference in doing that and showing it off indirectly with a siggy
also, your anticipation of all siggies being due to one and simply one agenda; "to identify oneself" is a great generalization you should avoid that :] |

1. Being well-known for making quality posts 2. Being well-known because you forced your "ADD +5500 POSTS! ¬_¬ BEEN HERE SINCE 2008, ALTS: THATGIRLMAGGY1, THATGIRLMAGGY2, THATGIRLMAGGY3!

i'm sorry, but that siggy is too long to be approved, such an exaggerated way of proving your point also i just about barely see siggies like that. i took the time to actually read OP's wall of text and he made pretty nice points which i don't even think you bothered to read. and as i said to strait, it is no different than identifying yourself with your username |

i personally dont see the point in them but its not really an issue either way
i only really get annoyed at the siggies that are like "op is a moron" or just sigs that in general are really hard to differentiate between the actual post and the poster's sig
if that makes sense. |

@edge
lol 9/10 times a person is identified by posts they are infamous (i.e fart alts, streetsofsimcity, heart strings) and that is not good. but if you are identified with a siggy you are more likely to be recognized in a positive light.
also no one ever has that sort of siggy

Look, i get it, you're upset because you think your special snowflake individuality should be appreciated as a part of your posts, but go post on your own twitter or something because here literally nobody cares unless you've earned it.
if your signature is there so you can find your previous posts or any reason that isn't to make your own identity more prominent in every single post you make then it's fine, but that isn't what we're arguing |
