I voted maintain the status quo:
1. I like reading people's sig lines. I learn things and sometimes it helps give an impression of that person.
2. Everything is political and religious.
3. I find the commerical posts helpful too at least for information. The commercial folks don't affect my buying habits.
4. What's the background situation that prompted this poll? If folks are complaining maybe they need to walk it off. I've not seen a sig that offended me.

Rose tint my world. Keep me safe from my trouble and pain.

The difficulty
is that some of us are using the signature line
to make a full-blown political statement,
sometimes nearly 40 words long, often a
good deal longer than the post, attacking
the country or the political views of many
of the readers. Naturally some readers
wish to respond, however people cannot respond
outside the political board without breaking
the rules.
The appearance is that some of us are taking swipes
under circumstances where those who disagree can't
respond.
There is a political board in which these statements
can fairly be made. The signatures began as brief quotations
or epigrams of a pithy nature--the best solution would
be if people would respect that.

Denmark is a swamp of debauchery, the ρσяиσפядρђψ capital
of the universe, in which the socialist system has irradicated
the faintest glimmer of individualism and personal creativity.

There should be a possibility for implementing a function in the user profile allowing to disable display of signatures on a per-user base. Everyone would be able to decide by themselves whether they want to see signatures or not. I know this from other forums, and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

The Democratic Party is beholden to the looney left, which hates the USA
because it's a successful capitalism. How can anybody vote for a Democrat
anyway, after the debacle of Vietnam?

I'd say leave as is.
When I'm in scan mode I have no difficulty just skipping the sigs - even the long ones.

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

I say leave them as is. Don't people have enough things to complain without getting their panties in a knot about what is in a signature line.
In fact, I think I will make that my signature line.

They're hard to miss when they're longer than the post, IMO.
Also they may be happening in fora you don't frequent.
Anyway they are beginning to draw fire in music
related fora. They tend to be repetitive so they
do get noticed, in fact.
The suggestion has been floated that we
respond in our own signature
lines to signature political messages
with which we disagree. Interesting.
It's a neat format, certainly,
cause you can really say what you think
without having to argue for it or
defend it.
One thing that would be nice, IMO, is if quotations
were attributed to the person quoted. That's good
form anyway and it tends to make the thing
look a bit less like a personal political statement.
I continue to think signatures work best as epigrams
and quotations, reasonably brief--the heavy guns
reserved for the poli board. But it's no big deal.
