cleaning up the signature space
1. move "Edited on ..." text to the end of the post text, instead of below the signature. easy to miss where it, making reading threads confusing.
2. set a fixed size for the signature content. I would rather not disable signatures because people do put useful info there, but you get two or 3 people in a thread taking up 40% of the page with signatures. it's pretty straightforward to say signatures can be Y pixels high and hide everything that overflows. like this
<div class='signature'>
dynamic sig content here
</div>
.signature {
max-height: 100px;
overflow:hidden;
}
less hassle than chasing down members who don't pay attention to the guidelines.

that's the whole point. if you do it this way, you don't have to bother with individuals. you head off the problem before it can ever be an issue.
