Hows about you don't need your website link after every post you make?!

It's 100 by the way.

100 is a bit too much, should be at least 25 or 50 at most... If any at all.

Its better to make restrictions on what can be included in signature then to disable it until 100 posts are made. Not to mention that some people will make short and pointless posts just to get the count up. It is already known that some people at forums tend to make a lot of posts just to receive higher rank and post count, but when you make some features disabled until certain amount of posts then it is even more likely for extra posts...

It's fine. It;s there for spammers that come here and could just setup a signature.

Whats so special about sigs anyway? I didn't even notice I could use one til' about 500 posts.

100 posts seems perfectly reasonable to me. If someone is caught spamming to get their posts up, chances are one of the more forward members will call them on it.

I don't think anyone would get anywhere NEAR 100 useless posts on DT. Most of the twerps who post 15 "Cools" and "Awsom site dudes" don't last 24 hours.

All posts are useless. We should all be banned.

Actually n00bs should be auto-banned if they try to post a link in their signature straight away. Oli should work on that enhancement.
