Would be nice to have a permission so signature use could be role based. This would check the role on the user edit page, on displaying a signature, and on the checkbox to show the signature in that post. This would have the nice side effect of getting rid of the current problem that the checkbox is shown for anonymous users. If this FR is a won't fix, could we get that bit fixed, please? :)

Thanks,

Michelle

Sounds like a form_alter on the user edit form to remove signatures would "accomplish this" even though not perfect.

Oh, I'm sure I could hack this but I would rather have something included in the module itself and I think it's a worthwhile feature.

It would be very helpful in combatting forum link spammers by making it so that signatures are not displayed until someone has made 10 posts for example (by manually or using actions or workflow to promote them to a role with the appropriate permissions).

True.

Would also be nice to have a role based signature permission in core user that would extend to this module as well... in a perfect Drupal world.

This patch (against 6.x-1.0) adds a "visible signature" permission and checks if the node or comment author has the permission before publishing the signature. It doesn't prevent the user entering a signature on their account settings page.

If you use it, don't forget to empty your cache and grant permissions to the appropriate roles after installing. By default, no role will have permission so all signatures will disappear until you grant some.
