Seriously...
Why do some people "sign" their posts? Do they think others did not develop the ability to read their username under the avatar? It really bugs me. What is the point?
Does it make your post better? Do you get isk from CCP for doing this? What the hell...

I work in a redundant-free environment most of the time :) it's when I get on eveo forums that I get bugged. I debug myself after though. No worries.

well redundancy is part of the human nature. and a redudant system can sometimes actually be more efficient than a non redudant system. even in computer science. |

A vestige of when people wrote letters 'n ****. I think people do it because they are a bit pretentious, but here on EVE forums that is a minor sin compared to some of what I see.

There's a signature feature built in to most forums, and i just use that. I only ever typed mine once in the settings.
Oddly enough everyone else here who signs their posts ignores that feature and types it again, for every, last, post. Those people confuse me too. Maybe they just like typing their name?
My Warmest Regards.

I fail to see your point.
But I did find a viable explanation: people sign their posts so they don't lose them amongst the others

It's part of a standard-formal format. Do you need to sign your name at the bottom of a letter? After all, the envelope most likely has a return address. It's not weird, in fact it's normal.

Because itĘs from people who know how to write (read that as pretentious if you like, I couldnĘt care less).
Because itĘs a subliminal code. You havenĘt figured it out yet.
And finally, of course, because it bugs some people and the people it bugs are fun to bug. Though, if this was the only reason for doing it I wouldnĘt do it.

Eh not really. E-mails "make sense" signed because they are the evolution of formal letter writing. Most of the time after the initial "send reply" names are completely omitted because it is seen as a discussion thread.
On BBS it just looks silly. The BBS model is more of a public forum where we all have an open discussion about a given topic. Signing posts would be like saying ones name at the end of every sentence in a debate (really really awkward and strange sounding).
It doesn't bother me, but I do tend to assume people who do so are either really old or are still learnin2internet.

I think it's pretentious. They're trying to separate themselves from the masses by making their posts look like a deep and thought out letter, but they only make themselves look like douchebags in the process. You don't need to sign something that has your name on the exact same page, unless you're signing with your real name on your eve-o post.
It doesn't bother me, that you make yourself look like a douchebag. I get a laugh everytime I see someone sign their name.

I have no problem with people signing their posts. (I guess its an old habit from BBS) People who use personal quoting systems are what drive me mad. Not only is it way more difficult to actually read what they are writing, but quoting them makes it look messed up.
