    Hey.

    Over the last few months, I've witnessed a rise in signatures being used for spammy, 'NSFW'-type links (penis pills, adult shops, cc fraud, you name it), as well as people using their profile link for unfavourable reasons.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it about time something is done about signature links which are not 'family friendly'. There are hundreds, if not thousands of members who are legally minors, and therefore shouldn't be exposed to this kind of stuff. But they are.

    The 'clever' ones will use a URL-shortening service for their spammy signature links, which will go undetected until a moderator drops in on them.

    So, wouldn't a signature/profile report form benefit the community? I can see a few negative outcomes from this, but surely the advantages are much greater than other issues currently being addressed.

    Thanks,
    Spidey

    When you see a signature that violates signature guidelines, report it via the bad post report. Just click on one of the posts made by the member with questionable signature and we will investigate.
