Idiot Magnet Signatures

It has come to my attentiion that a certain user is using a misleading and fraudulent link to his talk page. This users signature has a "Talk" link in his signature that will automatically log you out of your wiki session, forcing you to log back in. Should this be allowed? Talk 07:46, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Please comment under the comment line, thanks.

That is the most idiotic type of Signature I have ever seen. I don't think it should be allowed. --Soldier 07:48, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

It is a stupid idiotic signature, he should be forced to change it. Contributions/DevilWarrior112DevilWarrior112 ^{Talk Edits}08:03, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

He is TheManOfIron, he was warned by administration, but he didn't change sig. >SiPlus -talk -contributions_ 08:20, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I got fooled by him. :/ Happy Boy ^{T M E} 19:08, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

In my mind, I don't think it should be allowed, as it it is annoying when you want to reply, it just wastes time. Munchable901|TaLk? 19:10, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Annoying or not, we already have restricted the living crap out of signatures, need there be more? ^{Talk? Edits}19:19, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

have a admin block himSPEICAL OPS OPERATIVE 19:34, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

That would be the most unjust and unfair thing to happen, block someone for disobeying a rule that hadn't been created at the time? Hell no. ^{Talk? Edits}19:44, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

This isnt about blocking a user because of his signature, its about misleading links that make the replying person log out against their will and having to log back in and take all the extra steps to reply on the the users talk page. I left the users name out of it because a lot of people are biased towards him. Talk 19:54, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to restate my original comment in more depth - I'm opposed to this, we shouldn't restrict signatures more then they have to, we don't want to completely destroy our inividualism and our options for customization, that's just plain stupid and uncalled for. We can't go around banning everything that doesn't please the administrators. Think this through first, this is getting ridiculous. That type of signature shows that the user is the type of person who likes to joke around, (individualism). And if it annoys you, well then deal with it, you'll live. ^{Talk?

That's not showing that you like to joke around, though. Its being an asshole to those who take this whole Wkia thing more seriously. Joking around is making the link for you're talk page go to youre user page and vice versa. He's demonstrated that he is not mature to be here. Rambo362 21:49, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, CODExpert. 'Seems like this isn't worth a discussion if it's already a policy. --  Ari "Akyoyo" MacIsaac · Talk  22:02, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Closed - This is now not worth discussing since it's already a COD:SIG ammendment. --CodExpert 22:17, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
