Exactly. The people who don't sigs generally don't get that we're really fed up with being abused. I, for one, hardly can stand making banners anymore. It used to be something I really loved.

Just a line in the beginning of the sig service thread by a mod saying "Please request sigs in sig thread only. Do not PM people." would definitely be a help. Yes, people can say no, but why should we feel like the bad guys? It's a priveledge and a valuble voluntary service, like Paul said. It's not something to be forced.
