Wait til you get hacked. You'll sign every post you do then. I'm going to from now on once I get in my Coinbase account. Believe me you don't need to do it all the time, but every now and then you should. This way everyone will know it was at least you at this point in time. Take my advice, with the rise of stolen accounts, you won't regret it.

Sorry you got hacked buddy but I don't understand how signing post can recover stolen accounts.



When you sign a address it shows that you are the one signing it. It verifys the ip address its coming from.
That's the problem:
let's say an hacker steals an account of someone who does that.
If he is a good hacker(or smart and not a script kiddie) he will just copycat your older posts. Lets say from now on I sign my post with F.E.
And I get hacked, but the hacker will just take couple of minutes to study your old posts and copy that. So, an hacker would just copy the fact you sign your posts.

I see some people sign their post and was just wondering why they feel the need to do that?
It annoys me just-a-wee-bit  Cheesy

I mean what's the point?
Would anyone really think that this post was not made by me if I don't sign it?

LOL it annoys me too sometimes but I rarely sees it.

You know what I find more amazing? I know people that does that even with text messages on the phone, for real, like if you don't know who is sending you the text...

Haha. You should always reply "who is this?"  Grin

I should end every post with something like..
By F.E since people calls me like that on PD or other places.

Yes. It gets on my nerves. I've seen it on plenty of other forums too where every single post has been signed for years on end. I assume they immediately kill themselves if they forget to do it one dark day.

Thank you OP for this thread. I've long wondered this as well, but never looked for others opinions or researched it.

And yea, it annoys me just a bit as well lol.

It is unnecessary and redundant really.

I don't get it either. Isn't this what the signature area is supposed to be used for? it must be annoying typing out that signature every time.

I don't really know why they do it either but must just be their 'thing', as annoying as you may or may not find it (though I agree it must be a hassle to write or copy and paste it with every post).

But what is the use of a signature area if all of the author info is allready available. I think the name should be changed to something else, it is not a signature, it is pretty useless even. Other than signature campaigns or spamming you own site Smiley

Maybe they do it just to annoy oversensitive people like you?  Grin

signed sincerely,

Lethn
Grin I am not oversensitive.

Tell the truth, doesn't it bothers you even a little?

Meh, a bit, but everyone has annoying posting habits and stuff they do which bothers me Tongue
