The moment I post in some web master forum about renting signature link, I get many responses, but in geek forums like this , I do not get any response.
What are the reasons that geeks do not feel like renting signature links ?
Your thoughts please.

perhaps i am just an idiot but what is renting a signature all about? and what signature are you talking about? like my quote from hemingway?
why would anyone want to rent that?

Why would I rent it when I could just take it?

o i see. someone pays you for the oppurtunity to place an advertisement in your signature. perhaps you should update your writting skills. the header to this thread is a bit ambiguous.

Let me give an example to make it more clear.
As you have got 1700+ posts , You can rent a link in your signature and earn $10-$20 per month per link in your signature.

So are you suggesting that along with the large amounts of adverts already posted over DaniWeb, which are there solely to keep this site online (none of which I can actually see due to the fact that my work proxy manages to block them all), you are suggesting that individual users earn money by putting adverts in their signatures, therefore wrecking the image that DaniWeb is here to help, not to become a business?

because the vast majority of people who aren't spammers are entirely against spam, and don't want anything to do with it.
They certainly aren't going to spam forums (and email, usenet, etc.) with spam messages in their signatures.
Adding spam to their signatures would make them outcasts, and rightly so.

Anyone selling a service like what you're proposing makes itself (such people are subhuman, therefore not to be called he or she, only it) an outcast automatically.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Just to cement the issue, any chance of something added to the rules forbidding commercial advertising in signatures?
(Kind of like the Royal Parks in London, No vehicle advertising services is allowed in (including Driving Schools))
