Raising signature character limit

[stolenclay]

I can understand why there's a character limit on signatures.

I use a lot of BBcode in my signature, and unfortunately that basically eats up all 600 characters, even though the number of actual visible characters is nowhere close to that.

Is there some way to maybe ignore BBcode tags when enforcing the character limit? Or could we just raise or remove the signature character limit?

I liked my nice table formatting, but I couldn't put much in the table with the limit

I mean, even something like this can't fit in my signature
