If you might recall (I believe prior to your arrival on the forum), when the forum shut down the WO thread, and then we had a vote to reopen the thread and to have Infofont as the new owner, one of the new conditions that theymos put on the thread was that signatures would not show on this thread.

I personally did not agree with that rule, yet you might recognize that one of the reasons that this thread has relaxed posting requirements is in order to allow the thread to be a bit of a free-for-all, yet at the same time, the removal of the showing of signatures in this thread (and the economic incentives that come with signatures) seems to be a way to disincentivizing the trolling of this thread based on economic incentives associated with signatures.  The policy regarding no signatures in this WO thread does seem to be working, so I doubt that theymos would change the rule (or allow signatures in this thread) anytime soon.
