Description

Some users use the aforementioned method in discussions to conceal their identity, which not only makes it difficult to observe a debate, but is also extremely misleading in practice. This perfidious method must be automatically prevented by technical means.

For clarification and to avoid misunderstandings: This is actively used by users to disguise their own identity or to pretend that more people are taking part in a debate than is the case in reality. In other words, the original creator of a post creates a fake signature using the method described. The fact that third parties could change a signature after it has been created is not part of my concern.
