    Hello
    From the first day when I have added signature in my profile it was dofollow. To day I discover that it have gone nofollow. Am I doing something wrong in the forum or spamming the forum? Is these some kind of warning or chance of getting ban like that?
    I love to participate in forum. I try my best that my posts not get spam.
    If I am doing something wrong please guide me kindly. Also let me know if there is any procedure to make my signature like before(dofollow) again.
    Thanks for your precious time.
    Looking for help.

    Has nothing to do with your signature, some links are nofollow regardless of where the link is posted.

    No, but it changes day to day based on spam.

    Some websites are banned for being spammed on DP in signature links and also in posts. they automatically become nofollow. the list of those websites must be variable and growing.

    Shouldn't be terribly surprising... it's the whole point of nofollow. If the system thinks something is spammish, it will simply nofollow all links there.

    Well, why don't you work on helping DP's community by supplying quality content to the users that'll help people want to talk to you? You're promoting your SEO site - trying to get links from DP - so why don't you try to focus on driving quality content? Its not hard to write content, in fact, its easy. Why not learn how to write more quality threads?

    Sig links in here are great, Alexa thinks the one in my sig ranks really well in India and terribly everywhere else, despite the real stats being something like 50 visitors from India and 7000 from everywhere else each day. Lots of Alexa using Indians on this forum :)

    I find this strangely amusing ...

    Mind explaining what system checks it? WiredStorm is a nofollow link according to Quirk here on DP, but I don't know where it has been marked as SPAM or how I could get out of the 'SPAM' mark. Just wondering ;)

    Well, it's one of those things where giving too much info only helps spammers get around it. That being said, it's still being worked on/fine-tuned, so I suspect your site may be unflagged before too long.
