 Please do not just [[Special:Diff/3107487|remove other users' signatures]] for no reason and replace them with the unsigned template. If the user signed when the comment was submitted (or a trivially short time afterwards), it should remain. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:15, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
+:I have reason to believe {{user|DarkDan}} is manually creating those new signatures, hence why I removed them and replaced them with the unsigned template. Compare the signatures in the last two talk page sections [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Advanced_Generation_series&oldid=3107269 here].

+::Even if suspect that a user might be manually creating signatures, as long as the timestamps are correct they're valid signatures, so you shouldn't remove them. Of course, you seem to have jumped to the conclusion that the user was manually creating signatures because they changed their signature once, rather than the more obvious conclusion that between the two comments they changed their signature.
+::But again, even if you had suspected that the user was manually creating their signature, replacing every instance of their signature with {{template|unsigned}} was grossly inappropriate, especially since doing so is not even against the rules (whereas removing their signatures was). The user could easily have interpreted your edits are targeted harassment.
+::Furthermore, per the {{bp|talk page policy}}, please keep discussions on a single page, rather than replying on my talk page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:34, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
