Default Spam in Signature Links

There has been a sharp increase in new members that can't speak a lick of English that are posting gibberish just for a "signature Link".

I don't have a problem with regular contributing members having a link to their blog or websites as long as they are providing some value and contributing.

I'm going to try and figure out a way to disable signature links for new members until they have posted x amount of posts or possibly just manually approve them. So if you have a signature link and don't see it in your posts don't get alarmed, I'm going to be playing with some settings to try and get rid of the spammers.

I hate spammers,

Jason

i too hate spammers , yes one can have signature links but in my point of view they should be helpful to the forum and forum members.

It should not contain selling products.

I agree with chris, it's fine to have signature links, as long as the user contributes relevant information.
