Hello TheQuin,
By doing it you want to hide signatures from Jr.Members also? It's harder for them to get at least 1 merit point,
I'd suggest that is ridiculous. People give Merit to the post not the signature underneath it.
I would suggest to make "Anti-Merit" button.
This has been suggested countless times since the introduction of merit and I think it would simply be used as an "I disagree" button or for personal vendettas. I just can't see it working.
