Signatures now allowed - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Normally signatures were off on TW because all too often they attract link spammers - however, Andie v6 pointed out that by not allowing normal members any kind of signature, no one could put their box specs up.

Okay, good point - so I've now enabled signatures for everybody, but disallowed links or images from them, to keep the spammers back.

Treat your signatures nicely, please.

I had a similar issue with spam at my forum but managed to work it out with the spam filter.

Probably due to moderator privileges?

Anyone able to help all I wanted to do is post a image link to my blog, which I guess would of been okay.

Cheers
