Terence - yes, due to spammers (Bad Spammers!), we've had to prevent new members from putting links in their signatures...because many new members would come in, put a link in their signature, and spread it all over the site, making lots of clean-up trouble for mods.
This way, people who stick around will be able to post a ticker shortly, but those who are here just to spam us can't get their links in right away, which is usually enough to discourage them.
