Suggestion: Fix signature spam

There are 10,000 members with huge pictures of cars that all look the exact same, painted in different colors.

That's fine.

The issue is when people post 10-20 times on a page, you get huge picture spam. My suggestion is to change the board settings so that signatures only show up in the first post in a thread to cut down on spam and clutter, OR make SOME kind of signature picture rules. I have a 25" 1080p monitor, and some people's signatures still take up 1/3 to 1/2 of my screen. Multiply that by 10 posts and it gets annoying fast.

They're not spamming ... they're participating in a discussion forum. If you don't like looking at sigs, go into your user CP (here) and scroll down to the third section "Thread Display Options". The first option in "Visible post options" is a checkbox for showing signatures.
