This has been suggested before, Admins refuse to bring back the signatures because it may cause lag especially for an user with slow internet connection.
Signatures are annoying for multiple reasons They make the pages load longer Some people have gargantuan pictures that would take up at least 3-4 one lined posts We're better off without them.
Sigs would be cool, but it makes it look super messy plus, people could put hateful things about others and once they do that if people see they will spread it and spread it around until it gets to the targeted person.
Yes sigs should come back. Along with all the other features we used to have. Like easy ways to add spoilers, links, videos, text editing stuff. etc. Hell even simple stuff like a return to the top of the page button.
The forums we use right now are laughable in comparison to any other forums I've ever used.

If only there was a way to police or moderate this kinda activity, oh wait...

Well signitures i see not being very useful, gifs and stuff would be fun to mess around with and easier ways to do stuff like fancy fonts, i mean Remembering this is hard.

You might want to actually read the post I linked, since everything, including this, is mentioned there. I'm not a forum admin, I don't know why you're addressing this to me in the first place.
I have nothing against the edit tab, I think it would actually be handy to have since plenty of people still have issues with certain codes even after browsing the thread I made to help those who want to know how to edit their threads. Not to mention the threads get constantly broken by overload of spoilers/broken coding. Some edit tab with an automated warning pop up would be more helpful.

My stance on signatures hasn't changed, it adds cluster and makes everything load significantly slower. On forums that choose to display them, I always feel like as if someone shoved their business card up my face every post. Sure, it could be limited in display size, but it would need a lot of scripting to limit what can be put into them, how big embedded file sizes can be, etc.. just not worth it.
However, I agree that the comment window could benefit with formatting options... but limited, only basic bold, italic, bullet-point, spoiler etc to aid inexperienced users. Multi-sized rainbow puke all around the place is what I want to avoid.
I have enabled a plugin with formatting options above the comment bar with a different image/file upload, let me know if it's all good.

What a well functioning forum looks like.

Simple you just limit the sig file size.
Also Horus responded about signatures long time ago, stating it won't be added: http://forums2.cubiccastles.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/475/#Comment_475
