I feel for the moderators. Why should they have to deal with all the reports on signatures? I'm pleasantly surprised that some of them are keeping a sense of humor about the whole situation (/poke Emdub).

Also, instead of reporting signatures, you can go into your personal settings and turn them off! Why continuously report something that is explicitly allowed by forum functions?
Not the siggies themselves. The posts about the siggies. And, almost always, some slightly off-topic post or side conversation happens in a thread. But, when the off-topic convo goes over 3 pages and takes over the thread, it's out of control. People have to practice some self-policing so the moderators don't need to step in as often. Maybe we need a separate thread about people completely derailing legitimate threads.
