    Bad Move Removing Signatures

    Yes, very questionable decision that involved zero consultation.

    Sigs make the site appealing for first time readers. Bring 'em back!

    I don't recall even seeing a thread on this decision, why would they do this without asking sbr posters? At least start a thread with a poll in it

    newbies are all the time on here wanting to know who to follow & who is a good capper.

    Sigs allowed posters to document their records for everyone to see

    I mean, how is someone supposed to know that Rubberband plays are hitting at close to 70% without it being in Brock Landers sig???

    Sigs are very sketchy in nature

    Un-verified information available for everyone to consume

    Removing them makes SBR safer

    Not everyone uses sig's for records. And I don't understand why you cannot use both signatures AND trophys.

    I see now that they were primarily for unverified hype.

    Taking them away for trophies is essential to SBR's legitimacy, good call.

    But maybe a middle ground can be reached, no record posting in sigs allowed but a quote is okay? W/e.

    Bobby pushed for this because someone hammered him in their signature

    This was a personal vendetta Bobby had

    There were a lot of guys throwing out some crazy sigs and nearly every one with a record was padded. Plus, the software did not allow mods to edit sigs so a guy could say something that needed moderation like personal info on a fellow poster and there was nothing we could do. We came up with the trophy case and lets give it a chance.

    Sigs were a waste of time and space which added nothing in substance. The trophies show who the true elite on the site are.
