This also goes for postings seeking distributors, manufacturers, marketing firms, etc. Since commercialization, bringing the masses online, brings business minded individuals who have turned the sig into an advertising banner. We now see sigs looking like billboards, paragraphs, and short bios. If the moderator doesn't place a limitation on sigs to MBMM and MEM, many would look more like commercial messages, spam. If you view your sig more as an advertisement, then make multiple sigs and apply a different one to each article.
Some readers also place their sig at the beginning of a postings.
When encountered, the sig is moved to the end of the postings and the author is informed as to where the sig belongs. Should the author continue to place a sig at the beginning of a posting, the moderator will just delete the sig. Reader's suggestions of additions to the MBMM web site are welcome. Readers of MBMM and MEM are welcome to write or contribute to future FAQs. Both documents can also be found at the MBMM web site.
