I graduated from the third grade a few years back and can read and even comprehend the posts you pointed out. I've read them several times and still cannot fathom a reason to remove the sig lines.
I'll say this again, you cannot moderate the forum with software. You can try, but from experience I can tell you it won't work. People like me and most others will abide by your regulations. The ones that are causing the issue will circumvent your rules and do it anyway. if you ban them, they will return under different screen names. If you ban their IP addy, they will return using an encrypted proxy and get on the forum anyway.

So basically, you only hurt the ones that follow the rules:

Signature policy

Below is SRP's policy on signature lines. We have tried to keep it short and simple:

  1. Free expression is generally acceptable. We retain the right to decide the appropriateness of a signature line on an individual basis.
  2. Non-advertisement links are generally acceptable, as long as they comply with our General rules of conduct.
  3. Shaving Advertisement is generally acceptable, as long as the advertising is for your own product(s) or shop(s). Graphics or images for commercial use are generally unacceptable (cf. Vendor/Advertising policy). Advertising for other members is equally unacceptable.
  4. Other advertisement links are generally unacceptable.






I volunteer to do the work.
