Signature Count [Let's NOT Count BB Code]

    Hello.

    I am making a suggestion for the signature count. I would like to suggest that it does NOT count BB Code as characters, because it really limits to how people can stylize their signature. Do not increase the limit, but how about not include BB code to be counted? BB code is pretty long..!

    Yay or nay to DP members? :confused:

    Would rather just disallow people being able to change justification, font, color and size. That would also solve the problem I think.

    For SEO purposes, does differing font colors and text sizes increas ethe value of a backlink?

    I have no problem with that then. It's just hard to link to long URLs with the signature settings as it is right now. Like for instance, I can't even add anything else really to my signature. :p Of course, my signature doesn't and isn't spammy either.

    I wouldn't mind colorless signatures or whatever. I just don't like how BB Code is being counted becuase like I said, URLs are a lot of characters.
