Only one image per signature. Images in signatures must also be no larger than 500 pixels wide X 90 pixels high. If you have more than one image you will be requested to remove one. If this is not done in a timely manner the staff has the right to modify your signature to abide by these rules.


Any links in signatures can not be commercial in nature. If you have a personal website or off-site help resource, that is more than fine, but you can not sell products or services through your signature. Multiple links to the same site, unless for a very specific reason, are not permitted in a signature

Pornography, warez, or any other illegal transactions may NOT be linked in any shape or form.



Links in your signature must unobtrusive and can not use formatting so that attention is brought to them.



These rules were tweaked a bit. :thumbsup:


-----I would like to add that it is the best interest of all members and staff of Bleeping Computer, to visit the link to the "Discussion Rules"
As linked to by Koan in this threads intial post.

No subject matter will be allowed whose purpose is to defeat existing copyright or security measures. If a user persists and/or the activity is obviously illegal the staff reserves the right to remove such content and/or ban the user.


This particular rule was recently added, which I believe needs to be reviewed by our members and staff. It would not be a bad thing for all our members to go back and review for any changes that may have been made since they initially joined Bleeping Computer.

When posting, please use proper grammar. Refrain from 'text-message' style substitutions of words like 'u' for 'you', and 'ur' for 'your'. This is a multi-national forum, and some of our non-english speaking members must use translation software which is confused by abbreviations. Most of our volunteer members are very busy helping as many people as they can, and a post that is hard to read will often be overlooked.
