Links in Signature

(1/2) > >>

wraith808:
Do we have a limit in place on the number of posts people have to have before posting links in their signature?  I've seen a user with links in their signature, that have posted not spam but not useful comments on older threads that have links in their signature.  I was wondering if the reason for the non-useful posts was to get past the threshold to post links in their sig?

I was wondering that too when I noted that one (N) has posted reply to even a year 2006 message !!

I've reported it as spam using the report as spam link. It sure looks odd enough to me to do so.

I did also, I just figured it was strange enough for me to bring up as it might be something that we wanted to generally cover.

mouser:
There are rules in place that won't show someone's signature at all until they have made 5 or so posts, although it will let them put on in.

While this does mean that you'll sometimes briefly see a signature with links for a new user who has only been here a day who is posting a lot, this is an almost sure sign they are a spammer, so it's useful for finding them.

What I could do though, is add a one week delay so you won't see signature spam by brand new users.
