There are a number of reasons why people do it.

1. Main probable reason - They are not a gold member and want to have their own 'signature'.

2. Other possible reason - They just like to be formal? And sign everything they write.

The list could go on and on..

I would just like to point out your incorrect punctuation.

Here let me fix it for you.

He wasn't wrong to put 'signature' in quotations.
It signifies that it isn't a real signature, in this case the 'real' signature is the picture one used by Gold Members.
His point is that the '- Name' signatures are pseudo-signatures for non-gold members.
An easier way of writing, 'pseudo-signature' is to just say, 'signature' in quotations.

Consider 'this' isn't quotations... "This" is. The only time you use this '' is when you are quoting something inside a quote. For example..

The reporter told me, "When I interviewed the quarterback, he said they simply 'played a better game.'"

Just saying it is incorrect punctuation.

OK, but if you're going to correct other people's punctuation, then make sure that your own is up to scratch first.

Oh well, I'll just have to suck it up.

Here, let me fix it for you.

You didn't correct his use of ellipses either, there should be 3 .'s, not 2.

He was obviously using apostrophe's as quotation marks. If you were correcting his grammar you would have replaced them with standard quotation marks.
You changed his point entirely by deleting them.

Obviously you can't take a joke.. But oh well.

I don't mind it to be honest.

I dislike this also.

I mean really? sign it with your real name if you want to end it.
