Allow websites in signatures. - Skullmeat - 11-23-2012
I feel Anar needs to loosen up a bit with the "no websites in signatures" rule. While I admit making posts about your site is spam, having it in your sig is allowed just about everywhere. I politely ask that Anarchist reconsider this rule, which I personally feel is excessive paranoia.

I disagree - you'd get people coming just for the advertisement, making a few posts a day and hinting at their signature. Well I might be wrong but that's my opinion.

If Anarchy members saw the link and went registered this doesn't mean they are no longer on Anarchy forums, me myself in on like 10 forums and still here.

It would only lead to spam, horrible idea.
RE: Allow websites in signatures. - Skullmeat - 11-23-2012
No it wouldnt. As I said, not in posts, just in sigs. as text or images.
ex: http://www.yourdomainhere.com
I've seen plenty of sites that allow this, never seen any issues.

The rule is there for a reason. It's not changing.
Anarchy Forums is not the first forum to have this rule, as many other forums have it as well. It's to prevent advertising and unfortunately I can't make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
