User-defined message which is attached to all of said user's posts. Signatures come in these types:
* Flashy show-off signature with a HUGE image in it. These are hardly ever done by the user carrying it. It is usually accompanied with some lame anime character no one cares about. They all look the same, because they probably all followed the same dang tutorial.
* Animation hell. This guy loves animated GIFs, and it shows. Not funny, and your computer will start your second fan. I hope you have a content blocker handy.
* Proud users. These are the idiots with 10 "something user" banners in their signatures. They also have a huge "GET FIREFOX (or die)" button.
* The "no one cares but me" signature. These guys have a huge "I'm listening to:" thing. Most of the time, they're listening to some new punk/emo band that you probably hate. They also include random facts about themselves, as if someone cared. These are combined with Flashy or Proud signature types for a double suck attack.
* General GameFAQs user's signature. These have anime quotes from Naruto, Sailor Moon 'n the rest of that crap. No doubt it will have a nice fad included with it, such as "Fox for sex" or "I won't change this until...." Sometimes they include a quote everybody has heard before, in a sad attempt at looking somewhat intelligent. Bland quotes from other GameFAQs users appear at times.
* The useful signature. I cannot comment on these since no one has ever spotted one. Maybe you can be the first. No wait, better yet, don't have a signature at all.

Get the signature mug.The art of communicating with someone by using random hand motions that are generally irrelevant to what you are actually trying to say.
Using signology in math class is a great way to tell your friend three desks behind you that a guy was walking down the street in Mexico.

Get the Signalwave mug.To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.
Ties in well with virtue signaling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.
The intention (as well as virtue-signaling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.

My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signaling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.
