Is it possible to add the function so moderators and super moderators are allowed to use this mod?

Nice work, don't get me wrong, but what about just creating a usergroup that can't use signatures and assigning troublemakers to that group? Will this add extra queries each time that member's userinfo is called up be it in a post or when you check profile, etc?

Fter installing this hack, i've found oiut that some things are missing.

1. There is no such line in usercp.php

PHP Code:

     if (!$vboptions['allowsignatures'])
     {
         eval(print_standard_error('error_signaturedisabled'));
     } 


2. When getting into the user settings in the acp, nolabel is shown for Disable Sig and when you select "Yes" and save, the settings won't be saved (maybe missing query for the update).

sorry, it should be profile.php , and the link to edit Signature still there; however, when the user clicks on it, it'd display the error message saying that the signature is disabled.

@ SVTOA: if one user on the board violates your signature rules, you'd disable signature option of the whole group? that's just sound unfair.

How is that unfair??? It's a group you assign people to so they have no signature!!! They can't be assigned to it unless you put them there.
Not any more unfair than doing it with this hack. We must not be understanding each other...

nice little hack

Only problem is, is that the default is set to know so you you are editing anything else and forget to re-tick it to YES the sig will be disabled. Can you make it so the default is set to YES?

hhmm well after installing this it doesnt work correctly at all. For me i can only disable my own sig and not others.

Thanks. Got that, but what about the second issue?
