This is usually to prevent spam from people. A Lot of boards require you to have 20 to 30 posts of substance before you're allowed a signature. It acts as a deterrent to people just spamming the forums with 5 or 6 posts and their signature on all the posts.

You'll find a lot of boards don't allow people to post links as well for a similar time period.

I don't allow sigs at all on any of my forums - leaves the site less cluttered for scan-reading.

OK ... actually mine is useful to me :P

One ... it links to my business site (of sorts)
Two ... it links to a customers site and showcases some of my work
three ... it links to a fun little site I made up

Briask would you define it as spam ? (no worries if you do just curious)

lol, who can define it! My personal definition is if it is relevant to the forum...

to be honest if the link belongs to a regular poster, no issue... but hate the drive by posters who drop in their 10 posts so they can get the links in and are never heard of again


On Mr. Forbairt... we're all still waiting for "coming soon ... ( vague but descriptive isn't it ) " to be removed
