Post by: k3t3r on September 02, 2012, 06:44:50 AM
Any explanation why the link to my twitter account was removed from my siganture?

Edit: fixed = 10 post required to use links in signature.

That's interesting. Twitter should be fine in a signature (e.g. sgornick (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2228) links to his Twitter account). Did you post content, which is spam, illegal, not safe for work or something like that?

P.S.: Found this post in the timeline of  my twitter bot (https://twitter.com/bitcoininfo/status/242151142782554112) lol.

None of the above. Politics, Geo-politics, Economics, Info Security, Privacy, Collapse preperation, Permaculture, Green Living, etc.


Edit: Would admin really remove the link to my tweets (twitter.com/k3t3r) for political reasons?

if i link it through bit.ly as sgornick has done would it be acceptable in my signature?

Try it again. You need to have a certain # of posts before you can have links. IIRC, it's 10, and you're at 14 now.

Should be good.

Where can I find rules like that? I'm lurking here for a while, but I didn't know about that^^

From right underneath the signature entry field:

Quote
Images are DISALLOWED
10 posts are required to use links

As I recall, certain URL 'masks/shorteners' have been disallowed on the forum in certain areas, due to blind link spam threats.

That's only for newbies.

it might help avoid confusion if the *link removed* text was replaced with *you need 10 posts to use sig links* or whatever
