	Hello, We get more and more folks coming to our forum, trying to get backlinks to their site using their signature. Is there a way to set a minimum amount of posts before one is allowed to include a signature? Don't know if anyone else encounters this issue, maybe you could provide some advice how to deal with it. It's irritating. Thanks in advance.

	Hi bims - you could disable signatures and that solves your problem, but the best way of dealing with this is to monitor the spammers and then simply create a LOCKED GROUP (non ladder group and only allow them access to one forum category that you have specifically created), bin them in that forum, and then their signatures won't be an issue
