This thread was supposed to be relating to discussing the sig, not spamming to be able to add one or get ten posts. I've reported the non contributory posts before. I think this thread is better served as a helpful tool for those with genuine questions, but a mod should be responding to the reports from this thread and deleting obviously spammy comments.

But it's not going to happen :(

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.

We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.

I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.

Ah now I see. I too was wondering how this limit would stop spammers. Makes sense I guess. Like many others, I have been trawling these forums for some time and wanting to thank Devs and answer some questions myself but have not been able to yet. Hopefully I will be able to soon, as well as showing some support for my chosen ROM in my signature.

Circumventing the ten posts rule is not tolerated on XDA. Questions and "thanks" do not belong in ROM threads.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel :)


I have been participating here for a while, strongly for the past week and love it here. I am entirely grateful for the wealth of information and the end result I have achieved due to this forum and its participants. I believe I have enough credit for a signature now but do not have the option. If I could receive some assistance it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time, Bobby C.

All set. Thanks, I got it all set up. Looking forward to a great experience in the future here. One quick question I have is; Do you guys have anywhere to get some decent XDA .png images? I'd like to get a high res image to use for an app launcher for XDA on my phone and also would like to do a write up and review of this forum on my blog. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...:confused:

    Moderator Edit - Here's the answer from svetius
    This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

    It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.

    And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").

    Or just click here : Edit Signature
