Thread: Signature Not Showing Up

When we re-launched the Forum a few weeks ago, we implemented a few changes to better serve the forum and its regular members. They are as follows:

• A New Member needs 15 posts before their signature is shown in the a members posts
• A member needs 15 posts before a live link will be displayed in a members post
• If a member has multiple posts on one page, only one signature will be displayed.
• Lastly, A member has to have a minimum of 15 words in a post for a post to display the members signature.

All these changes were implemented to fight spammers and one post wonders. Those who are active members will benefit greatly from participating in the forum.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Interesting rules to keep down the spam. Only question I have is why the 15 word min for someone who has already been around. Sometimes it doesn't take that many words to make a point.

Ok...I will get some posts in then.

And I guess I will edit this post to be atleast 15 words.

Thanks,

15 does seem rather arbitrary. There are times when one is responding to a question and I would hate to see someone go yadee, yadee, yadee to get their word count. I understand what your trying to do, and as some of you know, I rarely run short of word to use.

Arbitrary is correct. IF someone has some research about the average word count when commenting, It would love to see it. I am not a 100% expert on all our decisions.

Thanks

As a new member I think that its very good idea (the 15 minimum posts ).
its take time but its show and ensure who is serious !

Hey Chief,

Have you noticed that the only ones commenting on this thread are those of us with less than 15 posts. Maybe we have beat this one to death. lol

Well you have to get your 15 posts in some place

Really, mine aren't showing either...
