I've seen this on every forum I've been on. There's your name above and to the left of what you're writing. Then there's your signature. What the hell? We know who you are.

Except girls can do it, because they're special.

Am I completely right?

I assume it's a way of trolling or spamming.

The only person I know that does it persistently is superghandi64, and it doesn't really bother me, even though it's unnecessary.

barack obama signs his posts on twitter

is he a troll or spammer?

He's something inbetween the 2 I think. Maybe I should add "noob" to that list - that may be his reason for doing it.

I think OP is referring to supergandhi64 since he joined after gandhi senpai's hiatus.

Maybe they think they're writing letters to people to read, instead of post notes on the fridge that people glance at.

You know what else is stupid, man?
Putting up quotes of yours on Facebook-- especially if they're all so hammy and chock full of bullshit.

Response to Why do people sign their posts? 2014-12-13 23:55:40


If they're not trolling, being ironic, or what have you, they're newfags who don't know how to make a signature.

It's lighthearted trolling. It doesn't make the reply go off-topic, but pisses some people off, especially since NG has the forum signature feature.

It is a gimmick that some posters use. Not a big deal.

Superghandi did it either because it was strange or because it made him stand out from the rest of the forums. Yes, it is unnecessary, but it doesn't really matter in the end. If someone wants to sign their posts, to each their own. Personally I only sign news posts, if that.

When people do this it makes their posts feel more personal or it could be just to add their own little flare to their posts.
That's just and assumption but let the people have their fun.
