Signatures do receive a modest bit of attention from moderators, but signatures are not part of the discussion, plus they appear after a left-justified gray separator line that is the hallmark of a signature here and so is a dead giveaway that the text that follows is part of the signature. I don't see how providing attribution would help indicate the text is part of a signature if someone has somehow missed the separator line.
The Member Control Panel now has a setting to turn off display of signatures, so anyone who would prefer not to see them can turn them off.
