I do look at sigs and feel like looking at all the lumps of coal are worth it when you find the diamond that fits something you are doing. I'm able to "tune out" a sig after the first few times of seeing it but sometimes they actually help me navigate a thread or find where I left off. I read pretty fast and it's easy for me to blow through "sigwhore posts". If any one person was annoying enough to me that I would post about it on the board I would put them on ignore. I'm sure some find my slapsticky sense of humor annoying and they should have me on ignore

I think it's worse when someone calls a blatant sigwhore out in the middle of a productive thread because those who have them on ignore are subjected to the replies. If you want to call them out on it why not give them their own special thread

BTW, most posts saying "sig placement" near the top of a thread that is obviously going to be hot are simply punchlines of a running joke, you know, a "be the first one to say it" kind of thing. It is not that they want their banner at the top of a popular thread or anything
