Why can't I put a link in my signature?

Actually I can't put links in posts either. This is totally useless.

Hello fschmidt, welcome. URLs had been disabled for guests and new users (up to 5 posts) to prevent spam. Since multiple people complained about being unable to post links, I disabled it. It doesn't matter, since I already had to enable a more strict, IP address based blacklist, which stops all spambots unto itself. I'm not happy either way, because this also blocks posts and registration from VPNs and Tor. There's a drag and drop captcha plugin, I will install that soon as apparently it stops bots but isn't too difficult for humans. But feel free to try again.

Also, does your forum receive much traffic? Are you interested in doing affiliate links?

Thanks, I can post links now.

My forum doesn't get much traffic. I suggest adding "free speech forum" to the title of the home page to get ranked for this on Google. If this really does prove to be a free speech forum, I will promote it where I can.
