Default Signatures Disabled for Registered Users

We had to disable Signatures for the Registered Users group because of the amount of spam we have to deal with everyday. This applies to new and existing users. This change will not affect premium members.

When a user registers the website and signature sections are hidden. If they enter in anything in the hidden fields(only a bot would do that) they are denied from registration and if you turned the IP ban on, their IP Address is automatically banned.

Sorry about that, I am working alone on the forum these days and spammers take advantage of the signature field and it takes me a long time to clean up after them.

Hi
I think that a user become a spammer due to the following reasons.
1-post should be according to thread.
2-no copy paste.
3-no site link in post.
4-Signature policy note when register.
Also note date of registerion.
5-<arel=nofollow > and no index
6-google page rank +3
7-no duplicate account in one forum.
If we avoid from these reasons then we can preserve ourselves from spamming and banning.
