In light of this thread, I've made some changes this morning on how new users are treated here on DB.

New users are in the "Registered Users" user group. They are limited to posting in Welcome to the World Of Multiboxing New? Start here! section until they've made 5 posts + waited an hour after the 5th post. This is nothing new, we've run the new users this way since March 2009.

What changed today:

  • Registered users cannot use Private Messaging
  • Registered users cannot use Signatures
  • Registered users cannot use Avatars or Profile Pictures

Now this won't affect the majority of you because you're already promoted to the "Member" user group. What may happen is you may / may not need to reset your signature or avatar. If you do, sorry >.<

I've also updated the signature settings to allow for larger signatures. The current signature cuts off at 600x160, up from 475x125. If you have an unusually obnoxious (or slow loading) signature, it may be nuked.
