Tony: I agree, cutsie sigs are as annoying as hell, too, but: are they *really* that big a problem in the grand scheme of things?
The "cutesie sigs" problems seems to be like the userbox problem all over again... once again you have a bunch of users who seem to be treating Wikipedia like another Myspace or LiveJournal, and another bunch of editors/admins who are so offended by this that they insist on taking draconian action against the first group... and then both groups escalate matters and get much more heated-up about it than the whole silly issue deserves.
Ditto. It seems every time I take a short break for a holiday or exams stuff like this happens. These days I just keep my head down and go with the flow.
Worl, the solution is obvious, isn't it? Stop taking short breaks (stop going on holidays, don't study for your exams, etc.), and we'll be spared the madness!
To think, after all the Wikipedia soul-searching, it turns out the whole newbies vs admins kerfuffle was caused by John Lee leaving his keyboard!
