User blog:Pschycron/Forgery

I really don't know if anyone has actually seen this in the past, but I found recently that it's possible to "forge" signatures on forums and old-style talk pages. Obviously there are several ways of verifying the signature. An example follows (the user is chosen at random):

Obviously, Avetzan1 never said that, but it is rather convincing when viewed on a forum page.

How to verify it:
1. Look for anything in the signature that doesn't correspond to the behaviour patterns of the user, for example: words they don't tend to use. 2. See if the time on the signature corresponds to the time frame in which the user is generally active. 3. Go to the History tab for the page and see who made the edit. This is of course the easiest and fastest way of verifying a signature.

(I didn't know whether to make a page for this, so I just went ahead and made a blog. I don't mean to raise panic, as I said, this is not very often used. If you have any comments on this, feel free to add.
