The "cutesie sigs" problems seems to be like the userbox problem all 
over again... once again you have a bunch of users who seem to be 
treating Wikipedia like another Myspace or LiveJournal, and another 
bunch of editors/admins who are so offended by this that they insist 
on taking draconian action against the first group... and then both 
groups escalate matters and get much more heated-up about it than the 
whole silly issue deserves.
