I put in place some restrictions on "signature lines", those blocks of text found beneath each one of your posts (for those that have set one).
Some people don't have a sig line at all, while others have quite a long one. And they appear after every post, so it can add up to quite a bit of scrolling.
I'm sure some people say to themselves, "I get the idea already!" and are sick of looking at them.
To prevent an "arms race" of signatures, the best solution is to put a few restrictions on them for EVERYBODY:
1. They will be limited to a certain length: 500 characters.
A few members liked to put every argument for their pet issue in their sig line. Well, from now on you'll have to be more selective! Pick your favorite.
2. They will be plain, black text of normal size. This makes them smaller and easier to ignore.
3. No website links are allowed (but this isn't a change)
