I really wish I would have thought of Circle of Willis sig first. Props, yo.

It’s like an annoying child who sits in the back seat asking their parents every five minutes, “Are we there, yet?” The constant droning of repeated content adds nothing to the discussion and only serves to annoy other posters. It’s like Chinese water torture. What’s so annoying about having a drop of water fall on your forehead? Can’t you just tune it out? After the 10,000th drop the repetition and annoyance has built up to an intolerable level.
The other aspect is well-described here:

One the one hand, I can’t stand the fetishization of civility. Civility is not an end. It’s a means. The end is decency. When you fetishize civility and treat it as an end in and of itself, when you pay more weight to the empty gestures and rituals than to the decency from which they’re supposed to flow, you get…well, the internet, where civility is a club to hit people with and the moral high ground is just a better vantage point from which to throw mud.
So, yeah. Reflexive signatures? Please, no. When I see “Regards” at the end of every single post, including flames and snide insults, I begin to suspect that you don’t actually hold us in any kind of regard at all. I would prefer honesty over insincere, knee-jerk crap.
On the other hand,
Or…maybe they just don’t agree that their behaviour is jerkish.
I’d pay money if you sign off the next 2000 posts with that. Not much because I’m poor, mind you.

I think My nutsack, its hairy and your crazy ass should lick it is a good sign off though.

Hell, I just wish I could make it my location.
Well put, you whacked-out, crazy, drunken Irish loon! Well put.
The rules for signatures on the SDMB, in particular:
What about something intrigingly vague with a hint of TMI?

You sign emails? I hardly ever do, unless the person to whom I’m replying signs their email and I sense that they expect a reciprocal formality. Why sign an email when it’s obvious who it’s coming from?

Cool.
Bring me a meatloaf sandwich, Poly; there’s a good lad.
N.B. Remember, I like my crusts trimmed.
So why is it not being enforced? Too busy looking for misleading thread titles? Jackboots in the shop getting new calipers?

They’re too busy thinking up new vague non-rules that give them more authority. See “Non Pit Rules” thread addendum.

Will these rules be enforced? How?
I also sign my e-mails. My e-mail address is not always my name. And several people who have sigs. don’t repeat their username, they add their real name. That’s different information.

Perhaps people wouldn’t feel the need to post signature like comments after their posts if their signatures weren’t limited to the first post in a thread. Changing that limitation would allow them to say whatever they want in the way of a sig-like closing whenever they post, and it would allow those who don’t want to see them to block them. Win-win it looks like to me, and it would save the “Enjoy, Stephen” types a lot of typing.
