    Default For the lower than whale snot sig spammers

    Is there a way to disable posting links in sigs for a specified period?

    On the admin side, yes, but it would apply to everyone.

    Edit: Actually, I may be able to make it apply only to new members. I'll have to look into it.

    Are you speaking of obtuse, acute or right angle fish turds? Your grade depends on the type of angle fish.

    Did you by any chance think that I misspelled "Angel Fish" as opposed to Angler Fish?

    I never heard of an obtuse, acute or right angel fish.

    Like I tried telling my mom right before she smacked me...it's better than being a dumb ass.

    She should have whacked you a bit harder. You could reasonably deduce that I was referring to bottom feeders and not pretty aquarium fish!

    That looks more like a devil fish. It is a bit angular though.

    Put anything you like in: Statements of religious belief is popular, as are links to web sites you may think important. I have not tried on this forum, but you can probably put little pictures with links to your other hobbies. Advertise yourself to the ladies. You know, just about anything that does not offend Jar, like spammy advertising.

    Thanks but I knew this, I probably phrased it badly, but I meant what was the fuss about spam etc?

    Whale snot, according to Viking lore, isn't that bad when seasoned with some half-decomposed fish waste. Read all about it in the Saga of Snorri the Fish-Stroker (which is more of a 13th century collection of Icelandic laxatives, if one is inclined to believe the experts ...).

    Joking aside, I would also like to know what's the problem. And yes, that's a signature below this post.

    Do you know what a sig spammer is? They post a message (two examples today) but have a signature that is nothing but links to spam. If you must wait for 30 days before you could add links in a sig the sig spammers would just leave.
