One of the benefits of being a mod is that we do get longer siggy's so we can include our personal things like all members have and board things as well.
The mods are trying to help the members get to know them and the forums they moderate to keep a personal touch to such a HUGE and growing board. The more forums they oversee, the more links you will see.

Many of our mods have faq's and helpful tips in their sigs as well.
So, it may seem unfair but Im pretty sure our sigs help many many members every day.

And, as said above, you do have the ability to disable sigs.
