I was just pulled up for a social issue post in the normal part of the forum. I didn't realise it was a controversial position but whatever I think about that, it's not a problem and it's all good and those are the rules and the mods have a tough job. The reason given was that it should be kept to the PRSI forum and such comments aren't allowed in the other forums. Again, all good and understandable, BUT... you have at least a few posters with PRSI comments in their signatures. And they can post in all forums. So I'd like to know what is MR's official stance on PSRI in signatures?

A fairly recent discussion of this nature that might be of some help:

Political avatars

Is it allowed by the site to include images in avatars intended to advertise, promote or denigrate a political party or candidate? If not, what is the mechanism for reporting? Thanks.

Thanks for that. So posting something political in the sig is okay.
To sum up: no posting PRSI in the actual comments, but the sig isn't a problem! You have to laugh.

Yes, you have the freedom to convey your opinions in a signature or avatar, which can be political, or religious or social issues. What we do not permit is derailing discussions in the open forum with PRSI content. We do have a dedicated forum for such topics and ask that you (or any member) use that forum to post your PRSI content.

An instructive clarification. Thank you.
