Just for the record, I have never called a balk for an F1 taking signs off the rubber either. I only tell the catcher to wait until the pitcher gets on the rubber before giving him a sign, and that only to prevent a quick pitch.
I also have never required the pitcher to take any kind of sign, just to give the hitter time to get ready.
