Hello,

I had been away from this forum for some period of time. Anyways, about a month or so ago when I returned I discovered that I am no longer allowed a signature in my posts. I never received an email from Ozzu notifying me of any rule that I broke or even informing me that I was no longer allowed a signature in my posts. Is the there any way for me to contact the moderators to find out why I can no longer have a signature and what steps, if any, I can take to be able to have a signature in my posts again. I still think this is a great forum and plan on continuing to participate in this forum.

This post explains why. It was nothing you did wrong or anything personal against you. Hope you understand

Thanks for the reply. I am relieved that it is nothing that I did wrong, as I just couldn't figure out what I did to have my signature removed. I think that's a great idea not allowing signatures for at least 90 days and 150 posts. I'm sure that is really cutting down in spammers. Another forum I belong to I think needs to do something like this, as there are so many signatures that are spam and people asking for site reviews for websites/blogs that are nothing more than spam.

Thank you for understanding, and yes it appears to have cut down on spam.

Cut down on spam more or less instantaneous.

I think the real reason was to encourage more gen. discussion posts to add to the Ozzu "psychological profile" database.
