Signatures?

[lucky]

Do you allow your members to use signatures in their posts? If you do, do you have a threshold that they have to meet before they can? For example, only after 10 posts?

Yes, when I've run forums I always allowed them to have a signature upon sign-up... but I also understand why some admins require you to have a certain post count to use their signature.

I'm curious to know what other people's opinions are on this subject. What are your restrictions for signatures? Do you allow members to have images in their signatures? When can they use their signature (any specific post count or right off the bat)?

I do not mind signatures on forums as long as they do not get heavily abusive with them.
I also require people to have at least 10-15 posts before being able to use it. This is not to try and help get the forum more posts, but to try and help fight off spam and people only looking to abuse it.

I think having signatures enabled on a forum is a fundamental thing on a community/forum. Even if it does not allow imgs and or links.
