Well, the easiest thing to do would be disabling avatars and signatures in the display options of your control panel, wouldn't it?

My opinion is that since we can personally turn off both banner and signature then I would be rather hesitant to make any set rule. But having guidelines for people would be good though.

May I suggest that if you do not want to see signatures, you could install a script to stop you seeing signatures.

Not showing signatures isn't really what people want, though.
The problem is not signatures, but the use of banners in signatures. So we'd need a tool that only hides the banners, not the complete signature.

Well I made my banner as small as I could make. But never thought banners are a problem. I have my banner for years now.

I'll bite. While personally I have not seen a particularly distracting or annoying banner in signature - I can appreciate those that do find them a little excessive, especially on devices which are not desktop computers. Linking to content would be my preference - avatars should really be sufficient.

A Griff Cobra III with a very
tasteful colour scheme, as I recall... yes?
