Your solution is to simply piss them off, which eventually gets you RfC'ed
and/or drives them away.

Other editors approach porblems of this ilk with discussions, friendly
requests on talk pages, new policy proposals.  And only resort to nuclear
efforts for serious and sustained crisis situations.

It doesn't matter if the problem is their signatures.  You need to treat
them better.  And that's your problem, not theirs.
