oh, and is it possible for us to report bad siggies now ?! i'd be frantic finding illegal signatures, all day long... ROFL!

Yes.

/me is now on a mission...

have nothing else to do in real life anyway, hey

I think you're taking the mickey. The admins here get $0 per month/year.

How are you understanding it ?

I understand it to say no links in your signature to outside paid services sites (businesses) contrary to what Danny said. That is my issue...that you folks are bound and determined to push everyone out of here that sells a service or a product. I can see the next thing being no contributions to the site here if the author has a paid service site in their profile.

Likely the same way anybody else would... that links to "paid services" (eg: a site that only sells commercial styles) is not allowed. One staff member says business links are allowed while another, whomever updated the rules, essentially says that they are not and you want to know what his "understanding" is? :erm:

Preventing simple links (to any site) was not the intention, just promotinal text - however, it did seem to read that way. The rules have been amended to hopefully make it clearer.

Thank you for clearing that up Paul :) I can certainly live with the rule in that form.

actually, Mambo number 5 can be interpreted vaguely, could it be rewrite?
that just mean that someone can put some other link, and someone up there will evaluate if it is that is needed ?!... my 2? would be to put the main forum url to announce their forum, period. btw, this would be easy to cut off by placing the homepage address in the postbit, so people would not have to put a link to their forum in their siggy... but that's just me.. lol

[high]* Brandon Sheley is on a mission too :up:[/high]
I actually haven't seen many with more than 2 links since I got back. :o
but I do wonder how some are able to add an anchor link within text and it's fine, (Like Paul M for example) yet others are restricted to only linking to the forum itself, with no anchor text.
I just want to make sure it's okay to add text around my link and have an anchor text (as long as it's not promotional) before I go and add it again.
