    Default Forum Signatures Exchange

    Hello all,
    I saw a scheme where people exchange signatures to help promote each others website or forum, is any one here part of a similar scheme, has it been useful?
    I would like to try it to promote this forum, if anyone is interested please let me know. Well, I sort of assumed everyone know how it works but in case you don't know here is how it works:
    You add my forum link to your signature in other forums so each post you make will have a link to my forum, and I do the same thing for you so that your forum or website will be promoted using signature in the forums I frequent.
    Please contact me if you are interested.

    Temi,

    It seems the larger the board, the bigger A-Holes the moderators can be. They don't want someone giving a link to their potential competition. This is just in my experience.

    Just check out the rules at this forum: geekvillage dot com or webmasterworld dot com or searchengineforums dot com. I mean, these board owners/mods...nevermind :roll:

    Paul,
    If you were in their shoes you will probably do the same thing, lets be frank, you, Eric, Radu, Ovi and a few people on this board actually contribute to developing the forum but some just register, post their links or advertise their product/services and disappear, this is not fair on you and others who are actually trying to develop an active forum.

    Though some times when you try to ban a******s you risk banning nice people as well. That is why I am trying to introduce things that reward nice members like yourself.

    A system I found quite fair (but I have no plans to introduce it here yet) one in this forum: business-talk.co.uk , before you can add a signature to your profile you will have to contribute 20 or more post, I think it make sense, don't you?

    "before you can add a signature to your profile you will have to contribute 20 or more post, I think it make sense, don't you?"

    That's an excellent idea. Perhaps lower the threshold to 10 posts though.

    Thanks for the advice Paul, I will leave it as it is for now but I will impliment the 10 post rule in the near future.

    excellent idea Temi! I have also noticed some forums are now not allowing link exchange request until 5 posts for that very reason, in fact some boards require you introduce yourself before placing a link. Its sad what people have caused but its the facts of life. I think the 20 or 10 post idea is great.

    This is an awesome idea. I will consider this for my own forum. This will also really clean up the forums quite a bit.

    That is a very nice idea (the 20 posts thing) but i really don't need it for any of my forums as long as they keep advertising in their sig.
