I don't get it, it's trivial to turn signature display off in your profile.
Not all sigs are spammy, obnoxious, and annoying. Just the ones like yours.
Oh well, c'est la vie.

I've looked into adding a height restriction, but it requires a lot of modifications to the parseBBC function to accurately determine the signature's height unless I want to ban a lot of markup in signatures (which maybe I do).
Why bother parsing the signature markup when you can just put this in the CSS?
Code:
.signature {
max-height: 30pt;
overflow: hidden;
}Abstinence is never the answer.

Is that widely-supported?

it's too much work to ignore people with annoying signatures.
What is so "hard" about checking one simple check box and updating your settings to get rid of all signatures?
I did because I got tired of seeing my own damn signature (but I really want to win the miner so I have to keep it up until the end of the contest).

So instead of outright banning the behavior you think it would be wise to put some rules into effect to at least minimize the influence of what are viewed as bad decisions. Why not let people make impossibly huge signatures and encourage people to carefully weigh ignoring people who take it 'too far'. It might be good for the forums too, if you know what I mean. (financially). Heck, I bet BFL would support any such move... and they wouldn't be alone!
Really, what innovation lies in a sig waiting to be let free without the shackles of size restriction?

That might be OK if there was a web-of-trust rating/ignore system in place, but as things are now it's too much work to ignore people with annoying signatures.

Why do you need that? Go to your profile settings and disable signatures.
It always bugs me why people love to complicate simple things lol

* Limit size of signature, Text size of no more than 3 line and size 10 ?
This is something I would very much like to enforce. I've looked into adding a height restriction, but it requires a lot of modifications to the parseBBC function to accurately determine the signature's height unless I want to ban a lot of markup in signatures (which maybe I do).

I am against policing the promotion of paid advertising in signatures but I think it's time we set some rules to the use of signature in an attempt to improve content quality.
This sentence made me cringe.
4) You must post at least one post every day - somewhere on the forum during the contest period.

Suggestions :
* Signature filter. > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/signature-filters-114511
It could be done with a greasemonkey script but I think the latest events command for a built-in feature.
* Limit size of signature, Text size of no more than 3 line and size 10 ?
* Allow for longer / bigger signature but with a cut-off at 2-3 lines and a mean to expand signature, (like we do with "Show post" of ignored users)
These are relatively easy to implement, require no maintenance and does not censor anyone.
Given the site-wide exposure of signatures there should be clear guidelines as to what is prohibited and what are the consequences of infringement and repeated offenses.
Would it be better to ban the user or block it's use of signatures. ?
