Author Topic: Signatures now not shown if you have under a certain number of posts (Read 23,134 times)

To avoid the possibility of spammers posting just to show links to their site:

Signatures now not shown if you have under a certain number of posts (currently 10, could change)
If you try to simulate a signature in your post that looks even remotely spammy (like a link to some site selling stuff) it will be removed.

How many posts do you need for a signature? I have over 5000 and I don't see signatures any longer for anyone?

Did you turn them off in your profile preferences? There is an option for that. I've had them turned off for a long time now.

No - they were there a couple of days ago.

I have the same issue as Carol - over 5000 posts and haven't seen anyone's (mine included) signature in a week or so...

Nice feature, but I'm not seeing signatures either

Looks as if the switch is reversed. Post a lot, no sig. Few posts, sig.
Could that be it?

Weird, I'm just staring at it. On the other hand, cranio's sig is not showing.

Attention!

Signature roulette mod is now working...

Carol Haynes · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2009, 09:29 PM »

Thanks - seem to see sigs again now - not sure if it is blocking sigs for new users though ?

Good idea! From some guy who rarely posts.

But, see, you could if you wanted to, as this was your 10th post

Tony Dodd · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2009, 08:37 AM »

Heh, heh...I have been waiting a long time for this.

I hope it does not get changed to 20 posts, or I will have to wait another (almost) 3 years for the privilege!
