    If you linking to a social bookmarking service outside of DP, then it's allowed. No, if you linking the service within the forum itself.

    Affiliate links are allowed in signature.

    Read [Rules] Allowed or Not - [Quick Reference] for more info.

    No. If we don't allow something to be sold here, you cannot say "PM me for...." about that type of service. If you had your own website and happened to sell social bookmarking services there, you'd be fine to link to that site for example. But you cannot use the sig to advertise those services directly on DP at all (linking to a DP thread or telling people to PM you here about it).

    Ok will keep that in mind. BTW Can we use the "report post" to report inappropriate sigs ?

    Sure. Just make sure you mention that the problem is specifically with the user's sig so we don't see the report and just close it because there's nothing wrong with the specific post.
