There's a list of settings, and the second to the last setting lets you "display" or "remove" signature lines in posts. Click on the "remove" option and you won't see the bug anymore.

The only thing is that I will miss out on the cleaver signature lines.
I might just need to invoke tolerance.

I've contemplated adding a bug for all Bernie supporters banned, but that would leave no room for the message.
