Topic: Postings and Signature

Is there a way to add a Signature to postings as default?
Maybe its nice to have that where we can add out software version and OS system?
Something like..

Thank you. Top

The only remark is that maybe 10.000 characters is a lot to give spammers too much freedom.


Edit..
However I don't see it yet in my posting.

Re: Postings and Signature

The software version in signatures are a bad idea.

Here the Important from FreeCAD forum:

Don't add your FreeCAD info or any other version data to your signature. When you change your signature, the forum software shows the updated signature in every post you ever made, obviously this means that over time your version data in a signature would become wrong for all your previous posts.

I completely agree, I had removed it for ten years or more because spammers feasted with it, I old remove it again if it is useless and bot are relentlessly new on this forum...

Re: Postings and Signature

I will be clear with you,
If I hadn't implemented bot filter plugins, spammers, this forums would be spammy.
I know some people have difficulty signing up, but that's the price to pay for not wasting our time deleting spammers on this forum.

Those who really want to register and who are rejected as honeybots or spammers just have to send me a private email so that I can manually add them as a member on this forum.. When I have free time.

Re: Postings and Signature

I am often offered to be paid to authorize an advertising post on the forum, which I refuse, just like activating advertising on our Youtube channel which could generate some money for us.
I prefer to count on your donations which are sincere and help us to pay for the web domain, the hardware that we need, or lately the apple license..

On the other hand, I am not against advertising posts concerning our industrial electrical equipment sector, it is out of the question here to advertise for viagra or other bullshit..
