YOU LIKEWISE FAIL IT's Journal: Lame .sig filtering

Why do the inane subject line rules apply to signatures here as well? Sure, some of the crapflooding ones are welcome, but why the minimum length ( and why does it still say 'subject line is too short' or whatever - sloppy! )

All I wanted was to have

$

as my sig... preferably without having to hack around some braindead filter.
