Title: Please restrict the massive bright red sigs
Post by: fendlestick on February 10, 2014, 06:44:37 PM
Hello,

Any chance we can get some restrictions on the massive spammy bright colour sig's? Some are even bigger than the paid adverts, pic below is one from today but some are far more intrusive. For example:

Just ignore all posters who do that shit. Once their ignore indicators start to turn orange, the people paying them for those signatures will start to question the value of their investment.

Ah I didn't even think of that! Doh, I will do that from now on.

Another possibility is hiding just the offending signatures via an AdBlockPlus filter of the form "bitcointalk.org##.sig99999".

(edit: "999999" being the user id)

Hiding signatures doesn't provide feedback.

I understand that the "Ignore" links don't get orange these days so right now it's essentially the same.

Agreed. Pain on the eyes.

Another possibility is hiding just the offending signatures via an AdBlockPlus filter of the form "bitcointalk.org##.sig99999".

Or alternatively, hide everyone's sig with ".signature"
