Signatures and / or Pseudo Signatures

[kyrt-ryder]

Has there been any thought put towards allowing members to make a 'signature' appended to the end of each post?

Failing that, is there any policy against a Pseudo Signature, text placed under each post by the member, perhaps under a divider such as a line of asterisks?

Like such.

Pseudo-signatures are used by some.

But the profile function allows you to subtitle your name. I think most find that sufficient, but I can see how a signature would help when as i often do a discussion is read top-to-bottom without looking at the avatars specifically.

Part of the joy of the Paizo forums is the relative low level of urine-stamping that goes on.

Your signature is found at the upper left of every post you make. All 13,000+ of them. It is unique to you and labels the post as explicitly yours.

We have no plans to add signatures at this time. We don't have guidelines for appending signatures, but don't generally have issues with simple sign offs if people want to use them (it really depends on how visually disruptive they are, or if they disrupt the flow of conversation).

I was just experimenting in my profile and didn't find it.

How does one do this?

I believe the race/class subtitle thing from your profile only shows up in the Play-by-Post forums.

The lack of signatures and other common forum features is what I found attractive about Paizo early on. It's a clean, uncluttered look.

Yes, I also see it as a positive thing. Signatures might be a nice way to personalize your posts but they don't add nothing to the community.
It's like the limited avatars. At first it bothered me a bit not being able to give a more accurate look to my characters, but now I like it, as it keeps it more Pathfinder related. No avatars looking like popular actors, cartoon characters or political statements. Maybe a smurf or two , but that's it.
