15% support: the line is clear enough (try adjusting the settings on your computer monitor/tablet display/phone screen etc), and I don't think making it darker would help newer users figure out what is is, while a forum signature feature is on many sites, I doubt New Scratchers know what one is before joining. Perhaps a message on the screen the first time the user sees a signature, it says “This is a forum signature: it is not part of the post, it is not spam” etc?

Here's a concept design:

Changes:

Changes:
- moved report/quote to the post content
- made the separating line longer
- added a separate explicit report button for signatures
- link that would explain what a signature is

Support. (I include both things above)Yeah, I guess. Just making it a slightly darker grey would be good. Semi-Support. I've seen this happen a few times, but not enough to where it's tedious.
A new scratcher also took my sig as advertise.
Maybe there could also be a circle next to the line, and when you mouse over it, it would say:“This is the users signature.
This segment of text is present
on all of this user's posts.
Remember that all signatures
are separated from the post by a gray line.”
No support.But i support if it only shows if you are a new scratcher or if your signature is empty.

Very nice mock-up! Was it made with inspect element or image editing software? I think this would look like something Scratch would do, I think it should look like that, I'll show Paddle2See. Here's a concept design:
Changes:The signature could also be faded a bit so that focus is placed on the post body, but that might anger some users who care deeply about their signatures.
- moved report/quote to the post content
- made the separating line longer
- added a separate explicit report button for signatures
- link that would explain what a signature is

I support this suggestion, because it makes sense and there are no drawbacks I can think of.

It's pretty nice. The only thing I can think of is that it cuts off the top half of the signature which could be relatively annoying for some users. Here's a concept design:

Here is a possible mock-up I made of what could happen:

Just it appears with your username, not TheAdriCoolManDude for your siggy.

I don't know, could still look like it was in the signature and could be especially problematic for users with larger signatures. Here is a possible mock-up I made of what could happen:

Yeah, I guess. My signature is already too big to fit in the signature box. I suggest a scroll bar, then?I don't know, could still look like it was in the signature and could be especially problematic for users with larger signatures. Here is a possible mock-up I made of what could happen:

It is already possible to have a scroll bar in your signature. You use the code feature on the forums, like so:
[code]Put text here[/code]
Here is an example of a scroll-able signature:
Hello. My name is red_king_cyclops. I make cool games and things. I'm good at coming up with ideas and stories. My most popular project has over 50 loves.

A new mockup:

Features:
An explanation that it is a signature
A report button
A scroll wheel
A link to where you can make your signature
Well this should help.
