Topic: Ban links in signatures until 100+ posts

This should take care of some of the spam issues we seem to have with new users simply creating a profile just to toss a link in the signature but not contributing to the community with more than a post or two.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a great idea... but 100 posts seems a bit high...

Depends. Spammers spam the one or two posts. If thats all they do, then their signature is not not being spread beyond the 2 posts anyway. I dont really see how this makes any difference. Besides, spammers are usually dealt with quickly enough by the admins and there is not really a problem to solve anyway.

As opposed to: New members can quickly express themselves and substantiate their interests.

Lets make it 1000 posts tongue jk

I think 10 would be a fair enough number. That's what it is for posts.

good example. He came one to advertise so he did it in the introductions. I personally don't mind when relevant companies come on the forums advertising. It helps new people with where to go to get parts and filament plus it possible opens up the door to a great supplier for myself. I just think it should be mandatory that you subscribe and maintain any posts that you advertise in.

Agree. I would be ok with 10 being the min. If companies want to advertise they are supposed to stay in the buy/sell section as per the forum rules...

We welcome businesses who want to contribute to the community, and they are rewarded with the ability to create a thread in the Buy/Sell/Trade section to promote their products.

If they contribute then I don't mind them being in the introduce yourself section.  But if they are double dipping just for the free advertising I say we give them the boot.

Idk...its all subjective. I think limiting the links till you have ten posts solves a lot of problems.
