That obviously isn't even remotely true. Look at the latest RfC: people who object to *refactoring a talk page* because the aim is to remove useless and intrusive formatting. I'd say "fuck process" here because, really, process is simply being used as an obstacle to the simple act of improving the editing environment by removing useless crap.
It is not an effective method of doing so. People have thosands of signatureas and anoying them makes it less liekly they are going to simplify their signitures in future.
In terms of effective methods I prefer the software side solution of switching off the ability to modify sigs.
Other than that asking people to modify thier sigs on their talk pages is more effective in the long term.
