Here you are:

type M S R R A i.e.

  Menu
   Setup
    Rules
     Role
      Add (a new role)

for the new role, give a  Nickname, Comment

then scroll down to ACTIONS BEGIN HERE
and set e.g.

Set LiteralSig  = <No Value Set>
Set Signature   = ~/.sig/moderator.signatur

(this is my choice, no literal signature written inline in .pinerc but in 
an external file,. in this example is moderator.signatur  ... I have 
polenty of signatures in ~/.sig, some chsen by role, some manually

You might want to look at the other items in the role, e.g. if you want 
the role to be triggered automatically by some characteristics of the mail 
you are replying.  Use the internal help (command ?) while addsing the 
role to get help on each item.

Otherwise you may invoke the role by name by the usual ways when 
composing (e.g. command #  or sequence M C R)
