Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Removing signature from support , oppose , etc./reply (2)

O.K., sheesh, you don't own this project. You shouldn't just make decisions like this on your own; it's a template used by a lot of people. If you want to make a change to it, and you have no idea how anyone else feels about it, then you can start a discussion, ask "Does anyone object?", and if no one objects, you make the change.

I expect that most people don't need to suppress the signature all the time, because most support-votes actually don't have a comment.

Did you at least announce it somewhere, or did everyone who uses the template have to discover on their own that the way they'd been using it no longer worked?

(For the record, I don't object to the change itself. The fact that it no longer includes a signature also means that there's no longer any reason to substitute it, and personally I think  ~  is just as good as   . I'm just objecting to your anti-community way of making it. Even if someone had the template on their watchlist, they would have had to examine the diff to know what you changed.)
