Apparently Ron has signature capability disabled on this new board software, my question is WHY?

I guess I should not be too surprised as I was banned (without a warning) for 10 days a few months back for posting a link to an article on my blog, I didn't realize that was a serious offense here.

Stop linking your own shit, dude. It's sleazy. It says you're posting here not becasue you enjoy it but because you're on a mission to drum up your traffic. It's not just offputting. It won't even be effective. Ain't nobody likes a spammer.

Now claim that the signature line you want reinstated wasn't even going to be your site's address as it had been in the past. Go on. Claim it.

Because it's his forum. He decides what he wants and doesn't want on his forum. Everyone censors their forums. Every media decides and censors what they want to display or not display on their newspapers, magazines, TV, etc.  You can't post porn here, pedo stuff, he doesn't want anybody using his site to promote their businesses or blogs.

Don't confuse censorship in a private enterprise with government censorship. You have freedom of speech. You are free to say or promote anything you want but no one is required to provide you with that platform to express yourself.
Ron didn't want the gh15 board advertised, mentioned, or promoted on this board. He can do this for any reason or no reason. So everytime you post his site it gets written out as spam. That are certain words Ron doesn't want used here and if you try you will get another word that he arbitrarily decided to be a substitute. That's the right of private ownership. You get to decide what you want and don't want. You know the old saying, "He who pays the piper calls the tune."

It's been this way for a while.
I believe that one of the reasons/issues cited was members were posting images and GIFs in their signatures, which I think was leading to bandwidth problems.

Yeah, and some people used the signature-space as ad-spots for their websites and stuff.

Who needs a signature? I can't upload a photo for my avatar. That sucks because other people can use my photo for their avatar.
