Protect you from what?
It very well COULD protect you from having an illegitimate search warrant issued against you, based on your posts on the forum (whereas using "SWIM" would not). It could also help to have illegally seized (or planted) evidence thrown out.
My signature "protects" me because it's a full and unequivocal statement of my intentions and practices on the forum. It would be difficult for any law-enforcement personnel to claim in any court that my posts involved my actual practices, since I've SPECIFICALLY and ELABORATELY STATED my intentions to APPEAR to be discussing drug use even though I am NOT. Less explicit signature disclaimers might not have that effect (but could).
Finally, the purpose of my disclaimer is NOT to try to circumvent the law pre-emptively; it's to ALERT any and all interested parties that I am in fact NOT taking part in activities it might SEEM I'm taking part in--and thus avoid confusion and unjustified (i.e., inapplicable) legal entanglements.
Some people DO indulge in fantasy on internet forums. You know that, right?
Good one.
Holy crap you are not kidding.
Wow, ya okay, a signature on a website is going to protect you from an illegitimate search warrant, or somehow deflect a would-be search on you because now your 'intentions' are stated and well known.
This isn't legal advice in anyway, but you are seriously fooling yourself dude.
I think the only fantasy here is in your, (and whoever else believes this) head, as your signature is literally not doing ANY of those things you just said.
I just wanted it to be known that there are actually some people on this site who read law books.
I'm sorry SWIMfriend, you are wrong, you are not protected in anyway by your signature.
You could change it to, "Please arrest me, I am committing illegal acts on a daily basis and I enjoy looking at unholy godless things" and it would actually make no difference, do you not understand that? (obviously you dont, it is more of a rhetorical question).
I put this in the humour forum because this is incredibly amusing.

This isn't a fantasy forum, but a forum which gives explicit step by step instructions on how to extract drugs. You know that, right? We all also know that you and everyone else ain't on here fantasizing about extracting this stuff! That includes law enforcement dude! You under-estimate your enemy is the real problem here.
It is amusing, the wiki itself explains that swim literally means "I", this isn't a secret here!
If you actually wanted to truly protect yourself, you would connect to this site by bouncing your connection between proxies and not hit the site directly. Educate yourself.
If you want instruction on how to set up your browser to connect through proxies before hitting this site, and make it extremely easy to switch back and forth between this proxy setting and non proxy setting, pm me and I will help you out; this is how to actually protect yourself.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to let the truth be known, your signature is doing approx. jack and shit, and jack left town.
