There is an informal forum Etiquettes which all seasoned forum users adhere to, please add whatever you consider good manners when you visit a forum for the first time, on top or my list are:

Introduce yourself
DO NOT SPAM (at least for the first 6 visits)
Post to the appropriate thread/forum

Do not spam trough PM or trough signature.

- Your first post should not be an ad for your site or any kind of advertisement
- As much as you get help, try to provide help to others

But Ovi, I dont consider PM and signature as spam. Although some forum used to disable signature untill you have at list ten post in the forum.
Regards.

Spamming trough PM is the same as spamming trough e-mails

Ovi is righ,
A sensible signature is not a Spam Lovely, but some signatures are outrageous, overloaded, over emphasised and outright disgusting, those are spam

I also agree with Ovi! Some signatures can be very annoying!

The way you have programmed this board to display signatures can't be annoying. It has small size, doesn't allow too much color..... You certainly won't need a section in your forum called 'Signature testing' like ozzu.com/forum16.html
