When Do You Get a Signature?

[iacas]

Since mid-December, 2010, here are the rules for "when do I get a signature?"

In order to have a signature, you must:

• Have made posts that span a full seven (7) days.
• Have seven (7) published posts that clear or are validated in our anti-spam tool.

That's it. If you have 10 published posts and have made one post at least seven days after your first post, you should be able to create a signature. If you cannot, please send iacas a Private Message (PM).

You also get to write product reviews at the same time.

Thanks.

Edit: 2015-02-18 - Changed 10 posts to 7 posts.

And, to add a signature; click on your name and go 3/4 way down and insert your signature!

I changed the 10 posts spanning seven days to 7 posts spanning 7 days.

We also have a new policy (that we're testing out): users cannot post a link (URL) in a post until after their third approved post. All posts will be held for moderation if they're newer than the fourth approved post.

This is to cut down on the amount of spam (which is already pretty light) that users have a chance to see. Yes, some legitimate posts from new users will get caught in the moderation queue, but only those posts with URLs in them and only the first three posts a new user makes fall under this rule. We are online frequently, too, so we don't imagine these false positives will be held in the moderation queue for very long.

How do I add a signature to my profile? The FAQs give some advice, but it doesn't work...suggestions?

This was only your 5th post. You just made your 8th recently, so it should be available to you now.

Hi! Welcome to the site. There are two requirements for getting a signature:

Quote:

In order to have a signature, you must:

• Have made posts that span a full seven (7) days.
• Have seven (7) published posts that clear or are validated in our anti-spam tool.

That's it. If you have 7 published posts and have made one post at least seven days after your first post, you should be able to create a signature. If you cannot, please send iacas a Private Message (PM).

You joined yesterday and have only 3 posts, so you haven't fulfilled either criterion. Go around and participate in a number of the forums, and I promise the option will appear automatically avter a week or your 7th post, whichever comes second. And feel free to message an admin if not, but it won't be an issue, promise.
