I just came to know about this thread and rushed in to apologise for my irresponsibility as a mod. I honestly did it as a joke and didn't think it would have such serious repercussions. I also didn't know what might be stopping you, T159, from editing your siggy and other options, something which I will get fixed ASAP. ( my hand is not in it )
Again, I obviously should have told T159 about editing his siggy even if it was a joke. I realise my mistake now. And please don't blame the rest of the mod team, they got wild when they came to know about this.
I hope this apology is well received and we can put this mess behind us.
Yours apologetically,
Shantanu
