Why don't forums have signatures?

Yes i know they can clutter the forums and all but why don’t you make rules for them? 

Like no more than X amount of characters.

No colors

No more than one or two links 

Anyways just stuff that wont clutter but will be enough for someone to say something that they want people to see.


Or what about adding an about thing like in the screen shot i provided below?

To avoid abuse I think.  If you’ve been enough forums, I’m sure you’ve seen this abused before.  

I’m not saying I don’t want a signature, I’d love one, but I think Corona is avoiding the hassles that come with them right now.

That’s understandable… What about the about page? Seems like it should be easy to put in and if they add restrictions. It would be nice tho.

As far as the about page, the software doesn’t support it as far as I can tell.

As far as signatures go, I would invite you to scan down our forums. Count the number of replies that are under four lines long. Count the number of back and forth posts between two people, or times where one person will make multiple posts in a row (instead of editing their previous post…)

Now imagine even if there were a 2 line signature, how repetitive it would be.  Imagine if we set limits (and we can’t change the software) how much time Brent and I would have to go around policing abusers.

No signatures.

Ya haha i guess that’s very understandable and i know how much it would be a pain in the rear end. Thanks for the input both of you! --SonicX278

As for me, I’m happy that there’s no signatures, for the reasons Rob states. Clicking on a member’s name however, could use a more substantial page, with links and images of people’s work.
