I don't think you are allowed to post your website or email in your signature unless you are a merchant member.
And there is a way to not see signatures in your user CP.

Correct

Here's a link (http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51711) to the rule.

Not trying to raise a stink here.....but wouldn't the OP's signature already be breaking that very same rule? Personally I don't care....but I'm just wondering.

Here's the rule. It is intended to prevent advertising that competes with our merchant members and specifically prohibits supplying contact information. I don't see where the signature does that.

No Websites or Phone Numbers in Signatures
The inclusion of a website or any information considered to be self-promoting in the signature of any member other than a Merchant Member or an Admin is not permitted and will be removed without notice.

I see.

So theoretically I can have a logo that takes up half the screen in my signature, including the services I provide and where I am located....and that's okay, as long as there is not ph# or url.

Just checking.

i see a few here and there that must slip past the rule then....

what about links to facebook, twitter, etc? are those eligible for a signature?

Yes, providing they are not services aimed at our members and visitors. You cannot, however, include websites, email or phone numbers under any circumstances unless you are a merchant member.

The size limits for a regular member for signature images is 500 x 100 pixels.

Yes it has been an ongoing problem. At the present time we do not have any rules regarding social media links.

Perhaps peer acceptance or credibility.
