What's the use of that?

Why do some users put their name or username at the end of every one of their posts?

I think my posts differs greatly enough from yours that I deserve recognisable mention.

If we want to know who you are we would look at your username right above your avatar.

I would just say that its recognition, some people want other people to definatly know that it was them that wrote that post. I dont do it myself but i think thats why they do it.

It's probably just a bunch of trolls who think they're being clever. It's a good way for them to boost their self esteem and to annoy others at the same time. Two birds with one stone.

They're big egomaniacs. Personally, I prefer to avoid them so I don't say anything.

Because they'd rather be known for their username than their avatar perhaps?
Another theory is it makes the post look more well thought out.

Well if was a large rant I wouldn't mind,but sticking it at the end of every post is annoying.

Maybe they just want to be noticed, and this thread does that.

Yes, there is a automatic signature that you can make use of in your profile settings. I see nothing wrong with it, and may even use it in the future, once I can come up with a witty enough sign off name.

i suppose it's the same as putting your name after a letter, your name is sometimes at the top, too, with a return address but you put your name goes at the bottom anyway.

I wouldn't say that too loud, one of the mods does that :)

I can understand why they would do that if they don't have an avatar, but if they do, then I will never remember their username, because I will always look for the avatar. Its annoying to do both.

Egomaniacs or people with complex problems. Or just a complex.
