Forum:SH Archive/Signature policy and timestamps

Hi, it's me again. (

I have noticed that there's a growing trend in wikia to alter the signature and especially the timestamp part of it. My concern on this is that this makes comparing the times harder and harder as some persons remove or add info, alter the format, or alter the timezone used in the timestamp. (example)

Another point is styling of the timestamp, I think changing the font style, weight, or colouring of the timestamp and its background is distracting and makes harder to spot the timestamp.

What I'm asking here is should we even attempt to restrict this? Possibly explicitly stating in our signature policy that timestamp should be unaltered? Or do we want it to be other way around, explicitly stating it can be altered? –Tm_T (Talk) 11:23, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
