Ok no offence but thats an absolutely stupid rule.... This is the first forum i've ever seen thats actually imposed this sort of rule and i've seen many forums. This includes many gaming sites where advertising in messages is against the rules whereas advertising in Sigs is allowed.
This is essentially what signatures are for. If you are going to remove signatures for this reason you may aswel remove the part in the profile which states "Website URL"
Links In Signatures are how Fan Sites become popular. For example:
I go onto a forum displaying the MLUKFC Site in my Sig
200 More People Click that link, Thus Increasing Visitor Rate.
The people are still going to visit the original forum and the MLUKFC Site.
Sorry but I had to express my view that this is an absolutely silly rule.
