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.
It will happen if there are actual reports. I am not a mod here or I'd do it myself, hit the report button and let them know, they'll take care of it.
You probably can make one now, check your User Control PanelI spent almost 15 min looking around for adding details of my phone in the signature ... and now I know why I couldn't find it ....
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.
Yet the ROM threads I view are full of questions?
And who is circumventing the 10 post rule?
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. (Incloud)
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
i wonder if how does this help in stopping spam ..... anyways .... whatever you feel is good should be good someways
