Option to block adding too long user signatures
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature Summary:

  • Add an option to limit the length of a user signature (should be simple and fast).
  • Alternatively, add an option for sysops to reset a user signature to default and block a specific user from changing it (kind of complicated and maybe a bit too forceful).
  • Another option is to allow abuse filters to work separately on signatures (most universal and maybe more subtle).

Use Case(s):
This user has a ridiculously long signature and, aside from blocking him, we cannot really force him to shorten it:

Going through discussion diffs of that user is quite hard...

Benefits:
Making signatures more reasonable will improve the readability of discussion pages and diffs.
