Why can't new scratchers have signatures

Why can't new scratchers have signatures? I would really like to have one!!! Also, what do I have to do to get one? And also, why am I considered a "new scratcher?"

Re: Why can't new scratchers have signatures

It's to avoid potential spam in signatures. I really don't recommend making fake signatures like that, because that ticks people off sometimes. To get a real one, become a Scratcher by being active on the forums and the main site. Y

You're considered a "New Scratcher" because you joined not too long ago, but you have a pretty good amount of posts and projects. Just keep going the way you are and you'll be a "Scratcher in no time!

Hope all this helps!  smile

Re: Why can't new scratchers have signatures

Signatures can be used for spam, and you are considered a New Scratcher because you haven't been really active. 34 posts isn't very much. Also, you account is not that old.

Re: Why can't new scratchers have signatures

It's to prevent spammers and trolls. You need prove that you can be sensible before you're upgraded to 'Scratcher' and allowed to have a signature.
Just keep being active, and be friendly and helpful to other users, and you'll be a Scratcher in no time!  smile
Oh, and asking to become a Scratcher will usually just make it take longer, so try not to do that  smile

I'm not sure, but probably so us "New Scratchers" don't put commercial spam, *, etc. on it.

It's okay, since it's obviously an accident.   smile  I don't think you'll get banned.

Just to add - It's also a potential advertising spot for "non-scratchers"

Re: Why can't new scratchers have signatures

Thanks!! You've been so helpful! I hope to become a Scratcher soon!!  smile  At least 180 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.
I also hear that the 180 sec. rule becomes a 60 second rule once you have become a Scratcher.  tongue

It isn't a real signature, I just put a fake signature on there just cuz. But from what I hear, it's not good to do that, so i won't do it again. ANd just if you''re wondering, to get colors, you go [ color = red ] at the beginning and [ / color ] at the end, just without the spaces.

They just added it manually at the bottom of their post. If you quote the original post, you'll see their "signature" in it.

You click on the button that says "Profile" (next to the "Forums Home" button and the "Search" button). Then go to "Personality" underneath the "Essentials" button. In that box you can type/post images for your signature.  big_smile
