"WTF did I do to deserve being ignored, or informed this is just his sig line" and other great moments of gotchas that will never be. Hope Skinner will rethink this choice.

I think Orrex's little Got'cha's are clever and funny.. We need some kind of DU mosh pit, where any thing goes, enter at your own risk, kinda like the GD of old.

They appear everywhere. And I think the point is that some new members could get spooked by things like that - they may not have worked out that some people change the colour and size of their signatures to make them appear to be something else. I think it's a commercial decision to not scare away new members.
