We all know forum signatures are a relic of the past, but there are still a lot of communities that really love them. Since Discourse is I crafted a plugin that lets us take back our much loved (gif animated) signatures!
Let users use a full-blown post editor to create signatures. ( RESETS all existing signatures)
signatures visible by default
Make signatures visible by default. This makes signatures visible for anonymous visitors as well

Thanks to @charleswalter who pushed for this and made it possible, @eviltrout who made it compatible, and the Discourse team for such an amazing project.
Hosted by us? This plugin is available on our Enterprise plans
You can likely use a bit of CSS in a custom Theme component to display none if not part of one of the so to speak allowed groups. You will need I believe the additional theme component that adds a current user groups as classes.
Would someone mind listing their discourse site to see the implementation of this plugin or provide screenshots? I would like to see what the screens look like for this plugin.
I’d love the ability to restrict signatures to certain groups. This would allow forums to offer signatures as a perk for higher-level users while keeping the overall experience clean for others.
