All I'm trying to do is find out what is the minimum required of me so that I'm fine if I get ramp checked.
We have told you.
It seems others have given up and wont' fly to various events for fear of ramp checks.
These are the folk who know they will be overweight/outside limits and can't be bothered making an effort. Ignore them.
For what its worth on my last (and only) ramp check I had forgotten to sign the maintenance release
The dude from casa gave me the opportunity to sign it. Their idea is usually education, not harassment these days (from my observations).
