Not the I want to, but could I, if so inclined, put into my signature "[soandandso staff-member] is a cunt" in Spanish, or Laotian?
 
(Sorry I missed this)

No, you could not. Rule 8, bullet point 4.

Technically, no. The rule says 

Quote:Posts should be written in English and be comprised mainly of characters from the Basic Latin Unicode block.

A signature is not a 'post'.

Boru

I take an alternate view.

No, a signature is not 'a' post, but it is part of every post made by a user, same with all of the other user-provided content that appears in a post (to include user name, 'Religious views', etc), and therefore is subject to rules that apply specifically to posts. That's just my opinion and I don't know if it's in the majority or not, but that's how I'd vote on the matter.

I don't see signatures on the mobile version of the site.

No, and, anyway, it's not true.

Stop with the passive-aggressive bullshit.

I used the report function for members who were selling stuff in their sig, and while they got banned I got the warning for reporting them.

So much for helping out.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

New members that show up with the intention of selling/trolling/otherwise breaking the rules can appear when staff is doing things like living life or sleeping.

Someone who showed up ten plus years ago and made a profile and then never posted really aren't a current issue to be tended to.  In fact, they really aren't an issue at all.
