The idea is that in three months, you will have become a contributing member to the forum. It is not enough to abandon your account for three months and return with your link being the only thing you've given to us.

By all means, get to know us. We're not so bad.

You haven't contributed anything yet, so...

"Contribute" does not mean posting music. Contribute means joining in conversations with others and discussing various things around the forum.

If you want to know how to "contribute" AND post your music, look at one of our members, Plankton. He chats with people, posts a lot, is friendly and nice to talk to, and he also plays guitar and posts his work in the Songwriting section. He should be your model.

To quote Janszoon,

:laughing:

I blog professionally and I have a professional blog but my signature was banned. I looked at other peoples blogs in their signature and ours look on par with eachother. Why was my signature deleted?

If it's a personal one you can include a link after you've been here 3 months.
If it's a professional one (I.E. Someone else owns it and you're a paid employee) you cannot post it at all.

When you remove someone's signature, why not replace it instead w/ "na na na na na na you can't link this" instead of "Sig removed please read rules. Mod." At least then the treatment of users as children would be "less" obvious.

You mean like that?
