Like the one I manually inputed below?

With the rule that if you are caught spamming commercial web sites in your sig, you lose your sig.

Futher violations, use the regular TOS.

And or...what about charging a optional monthly subscription fee to have a sig and to see less ads on the page?
I'd pay $3-5 per month for that.


Or would this entail too much admin work for Barron Von Barron?

Quote from Baron:

Two reasons:

1. Certain users are constantly trying to use their signature files for advertising commercial ventures. Everyday we have to deal with the latest round of signature spammers, and it's only gotten worse over the past year.

2. Of the remaining signatures, most of them either contain multicolored text, political statements, or random quotes that nobody wants to see displayed over and over again every time a user submits a post.

This is yet another effort to run a tight ship and keep the focus on the actual content of a person's post instead of seeing constant distractions in the form of off-topic signatures and spam.

it amazes me joe that i have been a user since 2001 and had a username of markbrown.com and a signature of markbrown.com.

then one day someone decides to ban me from et for spamming when i have never sold anything here nor did i have a web site even up or anything to sell on that web site.

everyone who has been around knows i give good stuff away for free, look for zillions of post of the oddball system by mark brown of markbrown.com. just google it and see. i ran for free for years! oddballsystems.com

you guys were too quick to jump my arse and i dont think you are thinking correctly with the kill em all and let god sort them out mentality. i am a very valuable asset to anyone who i choose to converse with. you should reinstate my markbrown.com user name i deserve it.

Mark,

You don't even have a website. Why would you want to promote a website that doesn't even exist???

cause i was doing it before you come along and messed me up :D if i had no web site and i aint no spammer why was my markbrown.com username poofed off like i was some crap on your shoe? everyone knew me as markbrown.com all over the net now my old post and who i was is destroyed. mb

i think Hershey or Bright complained and that was that. some people just dont like me - if they view me as a threat.

besides my domains are there - just nothing on them.
 
The signature space was abused by too many traders and by too many spammers.

It created extra work for the moderators.

In fact, I can still remember many spammers saying...

I didn't know I can't post my website link to my services in my signature line.

:p

How about the ET members that would use the signature line to personally attack other members, profanity, political statements et cetera.

Glad ET management got rid of it and hope they never bring it back.

ok forget the sig file how about giving my username back markbrown dot com that i had since 2001 why all of a sudden did et get all pissed off about my username - which btw has been around longer than most the mods? come on is this part of the bush anti terror initiative? how many complaints about spam did my username generate anyway, less than some candy bar journals around here i bet.
