Forum Signatures?

[Rice]

In all the different types of forums I’ve been at, they all include signatures or at least the option to include a signature below the message. Do you think this would be a good idea to implement or would it be too cluttered?

You may find the discussion from here relevant.

Automated Signatures?

@codinghorror has already PM’d me that THIS implementation of Discourse discourages manual signatures. But what about automated signatures, like we see on other forums? (the forum software draws a horizontal line below the post and prints the custom signature) Some folks don’t like them and in the userCP, they can be turned off. Here? I can’t find the option anywhere at all. Is it on the cards or only through plugins?

Been Discussed. Try this topic for starters:

Edit: I see @trident already mentioned it.

Hope there will be no signatures. Ever.

Correction: we will always add a signature to @iontishina’s posts. But nobody else will have one!
