Do we have an automatic post signature for our character so we can append it to our every post? Also, what is the email address for on our forum character preferences? The one ending with “@” “forumsmail eveonline com” ---

Only if we get a setting to automatically hide all signatures. ---

> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > Same can be said about Emoji… or gifs… or videos… Difference is that a good gif, video or even emojis _add to the conversation_, where a signature is the same bland piece of text repeatedly breaking up the conversation every time the owner posts. Except when Gadget does it, as her signature changes depending on the context of the post. 😃 ---

I’d rather have them disabled than have to wade through the 99 stupid ones to see the one slightly clever one. Especially in a forum with so much tribalist zombie posting where everyone is repeating the same thing as everyone else. Find a different angle of attack.

I wholeheartedly support the removal of gifs and videos from the forum, but at least they add _something_ to a discussion, unlike your static redundant signature. I already know who is posting, that’s why we all have these ‘names’ next to our posts. ---
